Great tutorial, however I wish some things were put in further detail. You don't need to add "how" to do things, you need to be more thorough and explain things. Like does the second layer need the white mask? Or black again? You did not put this. This is what was writing.... "Of course use a mask as well"... ._.
After that you instruct to create two new layer groups and fill it with black. You need to be more specific on what to do. Create two transparent layers and fill with black or duplicate the image you're working on, and fill it with black?
The technique is indeed long and hard... but it would be that much easier if it were explained better. Thank you!

Just wanted to say how much I truly appreciate your posting this tutorial. I thought I had commented previously, but I don't see one, so I guess I was wrong! ha ha ha
Anyway, this has been crucial to my advancing my post processing skills.
Thank you so very much!

This tutorial wasn't very well explained. It's quite obvious by the number of questions.

This is an amazing tutorial. I'm luckily already experienced with Photoshop so I'm already comfortable with some of the tools, but I do have one question: Why do you suggest using a 100% hardness brush for the healing brush tool? If I hadn't read that part, I would've used a soft brush--for blending purposes. However, I did indeed try using a hard brush, and it works fine. But I'm just curious... it's hard to tell the difference, and I figure you have a lot more experience, so would you say using a hard brush work betters?

The healing brush blends itself using content-aware, Using a hard brush will fix the blemishes but also retains the skin texture. Using a soft brush, the textures of the skin get softened on the outside of the brush and can create too much of a smooth look. Thats my understanding of it anyway

<3 Awesome, totally made my day lol. I hate the plastic/fake look created with the blurring/clone stamp/usual quick fix methods. This is just what I've been looking for.

Hi Capsunica: Hold alt and click over the mask layer, do the same thing to go back to regular look.

It's really useful tutorial, but i think it's better to use levels than curves - less problems with retouched skin colour.
Thank U so much 4 this tutorial.

Your tips made D&B much much easier! Thank you. It still takes much practise to masterize it, but it's a lot more controllable now.
Thank you once more.
