soften the imperfections of a face
Posted by Yves Hellemans on May 16, 2006 at 1:50 pmhey people
I’m looking for an After Effects way to soften/clean up the freckles of this videotaped girl: https://users.pandora.be/snyvo/sunkenuterus/freckles.jpg
I’d like to end up with a very glossy-like face. Like she was wearing softening make-up. The image should stay as sharp as possible, so just using ‘dust and scratches’ doesn’t do the trick. Maybe there is a way to blur a range of colors?
Thanks in advance!

May 16, 2006 at 3:36 pmAs I sometimes tease Eric here at the office: “Of course she’s beautiful, Eric, she’s the best looking woman that Photoshop can make — but don’t wait around for her, because she only exists on-screen.” Aw, the “babes of Photoshop.” =:^P
Paul Simon said it all so well so long ago when he sang: “If I took all the girls I knew when I was single and brought them all together for one night. I know they’d never match my sweet imagination and everything looks best in black and white. Kodachrome gives us the nice bright colors and makes the world a sunny day, oh yeah! Oh Momma don’t take my Kodachrome away.”

May 16, 2006 at 3:59 pmWith a little bit of time and twiking, it should look like this.
I simply used the Remove Grain effect and Magic Bullet’s fantastic Look Suite. But it looked great even before I applyed MB. I’m not Andrew Kramer, but hey, 🙂 Looks great anyways.
Good luck!

However, I do know a guy who would consider it a sin to Photoshop out a girl’s freckles. Me, I consider them optional, as long as she has that wonderful red hair that’s so often associated with the freckles.

May 17, 2006 at 8:06 amI read an imterview recently with the Exec Producer of Battlestar Galatica, in which he talks about a flash back sequence they tried to do with Edward James Olmos. In it, he claims they tried to use post-production to digitally ‘youth’ him but the results couldn’t be used.
Doesn’t really help you, but sometimes it’s nice to know even the big boys can’t fix everything. Given the rugged features of EJO it’s not that surprising really.
