I get a lot of people asking me how I get my pictures so crisp, or my skin so smooth. One of my secrets? Cleaning up my base photo. The typical steps I take are erasing edges to smooth things out, smudging the skin for a soft look, fixing clothing and glitches and painting in parts that are missing! Youtube Video showing in detail the basic cleanup process I take : https://youtu.be/6famX8t6B6k . DISCLAIMER: please keep in mind, i have shorted the amount of time I take cleaning up, this picture i spent roughly 30 minutes cleaning up, but usually i can spend 1-2 hours for higher quality pictures or if i'm repainting!
