Retouching Portraits


As we started taking photos of people, we also learned how to fix natural "flaws" using different tools in photoshop; Dodge, Burn and Spot Healing Brush.
   1. Spot Healing Brush, the tool works by dragging colors and pixels into the highlighted circle, use it on spots on the skin, such as a mole.
   2. Burn, burn is used to darken areas in the highlighted circle. this ads shade or darker color, I used this tool on the hat and around to create the shadow.
   3. Dodge, the dodge is the exact opposite of the burn, it makes areas lighter, i used the dodge tool on the eyes.
Could you tell if the first one was photoshopped without seeing the original?
