Elevate Your Skin Retouching Game with Skin Retouch

Many conventional skin smoothing techniques tend to erase important skin details, resulting in an unnatural appearance. Skin Retouch provides a powerful yet user-friendly solution: it blurs the skin while preserving its unique features! This tool is also perfect for wrinkle removal and other beauty retouching tasks.

How It Works

Skin Retouch UI

Skin Retouch employs a technique known as frequency separation, widely used in beauty retouching within Photoshop. This innovative approach brings the power of frequency separation to After Effects as a simple one-click action. While its primary function is to smooth skin effectively, it’s equally beneficial for eliminating wrinkles and enhancing overall beauty.

The Skin Smoothing Workflow

The core concept of frequency separation is to divide the image into two distinct components:

  • High Frequencies: A high-pass filter that retains skin details.
  • Low Frequencies: Contains all other image information.
Rather than applying a blanket blur to the entire image, which would compromise skin details, we only blur the low frequencies. The result is a harmonious blend of the blurred low frequencies with the preserved skin details, yielding a beautifully smooth finish.

The Wrinkle Removal Workflow

One great feature of frequency separation is that it is not limited to blurring - The high and low frequencies are normal After Effects layers, so you can modify them however you like! Need to eliminate wrinkles? Instead of using the clone stamp tool on the original footage, simply apply it to the skin details layer. This targeted approach lets you remove imperfections while keeping the skin tone, shadows, and other elements intact.

Since we are painting on the skin details layer only (right part of the image),
the skin tone, shadows and everything else is preserved.
