Carrito Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) I have tried reduce some wrinkles but I think look artificial. How can I do a good work with my photo ? Best Regards Note : Sometimes I observ that is better not manipulate a photo because seems after artificial or irreal. Specially in a man. Obviously must be differences according our sex. What are the recomendation or good criteria with a man ? Edited November 20, 2016 by Carrito Quote Ingenieros TenerifePeritos Tenerife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilian Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Again I recommend Surface Blur for smoothing out wrinkles. You just have to play with the settings until you get a result that you like (you can select specific areas in the photo and apply Surface Blur only to those selected areas). Another option is TR's Dodge and Burn, but that plugin demands manual work and patience and I do believe it's going to be harder for you. The hair can be touched with the Smudge tool (using its fur brush may render an acceptable result, but consider it demands manual work and patience). Another option for working out the hair is the Furblur plugin, which has a good number of settings and therefore demands some time of experimentation (you can find it in Red ochre's plugin pack). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Go gently with the Furblur plugin or you will look like D. Trump. As Maximilian said, be patient. Do not get discouraged. The steps you take learning how to use Paint.NET will be worthwhile next time you need to modify an image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilian Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Agreed with Eli. Never back down! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrito Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 I think we all agreed. Except with D. Trump of course. Quote Ingenieros TenerifePeritos Tenerife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 As an alternative to Surface Blur, you might try Laplacian Pyramid Filter with Detail handling set to greater than 1. One trick is to apply smoothing followed by Sharpen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Another option for softening the hairline is the Edge Expander. Use the Lasso tool to select the hairline region. Set the Edge Expander Maximum Distance very low, the Fade Rate to 1, and the Opacity Threshold to some value that gives the best result, probably mid-range. For either FurBlur or Edge Expander, I suggest duplicating the foreground image, then applying the effect to the lower layer. That way things like the contrast and brightness can be tweaked, and perhaps a small blur can be applied. A third option is the Zoom Blur. After duplicating the foreground layer, make the Lasso selection, then apply Zoom Blur to the lower layer. Set the zoom origin in the center of the head and apply a small zoom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximilian Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Those are very neat ideas, MJW! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
