Skin Softening

I softend the skin by using these steps:

1.Duplicate the Background Layer (the one you just patched or cleaned up)

2.Blend Mode Of "Layer 1" to "Overlay"

3..Apply the "High Pass" Filter to Layer 1

4.Invert "Layer 1"

5.Lower The Opacity Of "Layer 1" To Fine-Tune The Amount Of Skin Softening

6. Add a Layer Mask To "Layer 1"

7. Select The Brush Tool

8. Set Your Foreground Color To Black

9. Paint Over The Details In The Face To Hide The Softening Effect

10. Paint Away The Effect From The Rest Of The Image
