Graphics Bird Basic Retouch And Colorization

Step 1:
At 1st duplicate the layer then go to Filter -> Noise -> Median...and enter a value of around 3 pixels. Then go to Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur... and enter 5 pixels.

Step 2: Add a layer mask (by pressing the third button on the lower part of the Layers Palette) to the layer you have just blurred and fill it with black. Then pick a soft, medium sized brush and start painting with white on the layer mask. Make sure you avoid any lines on the face; use it only on the skin, to get a smooth, professional effect. Vary the brush size and opacity depending on the area. Avoid blurring the eyes, lips or hair.

Step 3: Add a Selective Color adjustment layer with the following settings then fill its mask with black.
Reds: -55 0 0 0
Neutrals: -20 +15 –40 +5
Now paint with white over the lips and you will notice they’ll turn a light pink. Make sure you follow the edges of the lips properly.

Step 4: Add another Selective Color adjustment layer with these settings:
Yellows: -100 0 0 0
Whites: 0 0 0 –25
Neutrals:Filll its mask with black and carefully paint with white over the eyes.

Step 5: Go to Layer -> Flatten Image, then to Filter -> Sharpen -> Smart Sharpen

Step 6: Go to Layer -> Flatten Image, then to Filter -> Sharpen -> Smart Sharpen.
Finally, go to Image -> Canvas Size… and choose black as a color, 40 pixels for both Width and Height to add a stylish outer border.
