Today we’re sharing two Photoshop video tutorials, covering liquify tool meshes and tips for retouching your subject’s teeth.
Learn essential retouching and post production skills each Wednesday, right here on Orms Connect. Tutorial Wednesdays are brought to you by Manfred Werner.
Due to skipping last week’s tutorial post, we have a double bill of video tutorials today! In the first tutorial, we share a quick tip on dealing with Photoshop’s liquify tool when working with high resolution files, and the second video demonstrates general fixes for retouching your subject’s teeth.
Liquify Tool Meshes
Please note: This video is suitable for advanced and intermediate Photoshop users!
In this video tutorial, I will show you a technique that I use when my liquifying tool crashes. First of all, we will start of with a duplicated layer and open it in the liquifying tool. Once the liquifying tool has crashed, I will set my image size to 72 DPI and start over with the liquifying tool. During this process, I will liquify and save my liquifying mesh. Once we are done with that, I’ll import it again and re-use my mesh on the 300 DPI image size.
Quick reminder: Don’t forget to switch back to the 300 DPI image!
Teeth – General Fixes
Please note: This video is suitable for advanced and intermediate Photoshop users!
In this video tutorial, I will show you some more tips & tricks for general fixes on the teeth. First of all, we will start of with a new retouch layer and start healing specific areas again, doing touch-ups. Once we are done with that, we will run through the liquify process and shape the rest. After that, we will work with a copy and past technique via using the marquee tool set, to create new and perfect teeth. During this process, we will also use the hidden mask technique to simplify and speed-up our workflow.
Quick reminder: When working with the healing brush and hidden mask, keep on changing your brush sizes frequently.
