So now we're going to do a female portrait. So I'm gonna go select my image. And this is the image, I've decided beforehand I'm going to use, we can do exactly the same as before in most of it, but we're going to go through the whole thing. So I'm going to click my pencil, I'm going to rotate First, I'm going to get the straightness that I want. I'm going to click that. The next thing, I'm going to crop this in.

So we'll do a 16 by nine work on this one, maybe, but what I'm going to do, I'm just going to select four by free, keep it simple. We're going to it's going to track the analog manual, crop this into rule of thirds. You can see I've got the line over the face. And I'm going to accept that. So that's my starting place. First thing we're going to do is we're going to do some healing to the healing button, press healing.

Zoom in. Nice and close, and we're going to drag it around this. I'm just going to scan over the face, and we're just gonna move any little spots we don't like. Number one there. Move around real simple screen cleanup anywhere we think we need to. Okay, now we're going to click that.

Zoom back in. Okay, so we've done a skin cleanup. Now what we're going to do in a slightly different order here We've got a really messy background, we're gonna have to really do some more work to get this image to where we want it to be. But before I do that, let me go in and do my basics. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to choose my image. I'm going to click the pencil again, choose the image.

And and what we're gonna do right now is have a look. Do I need to take this a little bit? Let me just try that. Let me just take a look a little bit. So I'm looking at the skin. I'm focusing on the skin, the skin is the most important elements.

Yep. Now in case you're wondering, this is a backlit portrayed beauty lighting big window behind us in a restaurant taking this quick picture. Hello, it wasn't a selfie. It's the same principle. So I've just brightened up the face a little bit. ambience.

Let's see. Now ambience is interesting because it's going to start creating look under be going for so I'm just gonna add a little bit of ambience on this one. I'm sorry to train. So I'm gonna take a little bit down. And then what we're gonna do contrast notes, ladies. So we don't want to be creating lots of contrast when in fact, what we probably want to do is remove them.

So let's just take some contrast, saturation, always take a little bit off, and iPhones tend to be a little bit hot on the saturation. Shadows are always I always like to darken my shadows a little bit. So I'm just gonna create a little bit of drama by darkening my shadows. Highlights, let's just see, do we need anything there. So I just want to do a bit contrast of highlights on this one. Now increasing highlights on lady's skin removes a little bit of impurities and a brighter the skin, the less impurities or lines or wrinkles can be saved.

And then we've got the warm. Now this one I want it to be a little bit warm. So I'm only going to type just a tiny bit of an adjustment. Click that and I've got my basic adjustments. Place. Now what we're gonna do is use a really clever little trick that the lady is gonna love this one.

Okay, we're gonna do, we're gonna go into a pencil artist tool here called glamour glow. Now, obviously there's different presets for glamour glow here. As you can see, we're going to start with number one and make around adjustments. So we want to add glow, so let's just increase it till the skin starts to glow a little bit. Now what we want to do is you can see it's adding too much. So where we feel is we want to pull it back a little bit.

So for me, I think it's about here. I'm just going to pull it back a little bit. Don't overdo it. I'm quite happy now with the glow on the skin. That's gonna also allow me to adjust the saturation of the glow or want to warm, sharp or kosher. I can do That, if I was going to use this on a male face, which I don't often do, I probably call it down.

But if it's the lady's face, you probably warm it up a little bit. So let's just warm up a tiny bit dependent on the subject and the Reds in the skin. So we've got that we're pretty much good to go. So I'm going to accept that. Now what we're going to do, we're going to add some Lens Blur, so we need to create the effect of a DSLR. So let's go in and select Lens Blur from our filters.

And let's match that to the face. So we're going to squeeze and pinch until we've got that inner circle where we want it, we can move it around and adjust it until we're happy. And then what we're going to do is we're going to increase the bless strim until everything starts to to blur in the background is going to help us just deal with some of these background items in the image. So we're going to accept that. Now what we're going to do, we're going to add a vignette. And what I want to do on the vignette, I'm going to place it over the face.

I'm going to bring it in. As you can see, now we're starting into dark in the background, we're starting to create this really soft glow look, we're going to select that. Now we've got a tricky bit because we've got lots of dark stuff in the background. Still, lots of mess going on. And in fact, what I'm going to do, I'm going to try and add another vignette are still not happy with how dark that is. move that down a bit.

And I'm starting to create this really dramatic image and click OK. And we still got a lot to deal with in terms of background, a little salt and pepper part and some other bits. So I'm going to do now. Now I've got it generally where Wanted. Now we're going to go back into healing Mrs. Clever pop. Now we're going to zoom out and really zoom out and we're going to really carefully remove these items when it's a rough bit like that and just smooth them out of the line as I move that.

So I've got this bit you know, I've got to be careful here but don't want to say we're going to smooth the edge and a lot of the time because it's an algorithm, you almost have to play with it. As you can see we're cleaning up around there a little bit. See if we can trick it and take it out of that forest. Just blend in a bit. Just pinch out a little bit so we can just navigate a little bit easier. And then just take that bit out.

I don't like overhead they want these things in the shop because it not only In the track thing, we just step back those two they were a bit clumsy or needed to align there. So I'm just gonna let line he's in. He's in around. Take this out, we'll take this one I'll leave those free because they add a really nice little touch theme so I'm not gonna lose those and then we're gonna pull across and zoom out completely to check still got some issues around here. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna zoom back in around here what's done what not healed it's just actually quite hair there and I don't want there much right here that a little bit of a regression a bit. Okay, so what we've got got those bits there.

Now what I've done the healing it's, it's added a little bit here. That's what we're gonna do is going to come out, we're going to go into another tool. Now, let's try brush the document What we're going to do is we want to take it down. So we're gonna zoom in, zoom in. We're gonna run our fingers over the areas run I think it's over the areas around play, we're not happy so we're gonna burn this as well over here and I'm just rubbing my fingers although it's not showing anything you should be seeing above our head there. It's darkening I'm just burning that off.

Oh technique from the film days when they used to didn't have a shortlist of dodging, burn a lot of this stuff. So look around the edges Am I happy? Still think of here so I'm going to remove those little bits of light above our hair. And then I might just a little bit of burning around Yeah. Now what I'm gonna do, I'm just gonna go the other way. I'm just gonna talk a little bit around these highlights in the scarf.

I just want to bring up some highlights. I just want to bring up some highlights. Maybe a little bit, bring up some strokes in there. Zoom out. We're good. Click OK. And we have one female portray.

Now obviously I've used a dark backdrop here this was in a restaurant I've just taken that image and then blown it down and what I've done as all the focus has been about the face, I've left the lights in the background, they're a little bit because I want them to be seen. I have a play try some different things. The Clean the background, the easier it is but if you've got a noisy background, the best thing to do is darken it down kill it. It's very hard as you saw in the male portray when we have that patch on the white is really difficult to try and get that back. I could have done a little bit more work and dodging and burning on that dealt with that. But hopefully now you can see this image.

So I'm quite happy with this image, I just want to add a tiny bit more glamour glow looking at it. So let me just go back in my glow. And I just want to increase the glow a little bit more just softness in doubt. Now what I'm going to do is I just want to add a tiny bit structure because I don't over soften. So we're going to go into details. And that's just a tiny bit structure.

And I'm done and you have to step away sometimes guys and stop playing. So there's a simple portrait, female portrait with an iPhone and Snapseed. And I'm hoping you can see now you can create some really beautiful images with some really simple equipment and techniques and just the phone. You have
