With the latest drop of Lightroom and the new texture slider, we have the toolset we need to completely retouch a person in Lightroom (or Camera RAW). Camera RAW shares the adjustment toolset with Lightroom Classic. This isn’t to say, we shouldn’t use Photoshop still, but for people who like to stay in Lightroom, or if you are looking for a quick result, this tutorial will help. I know, some people used to soften skin using negative clarity, but it was a setting I never used because I hated the way it looked. Texture changes all that, because it looks good at negative values.
Start by watching the video, because there are tips in there that aren’t included in these written instructions. These are meant to get you the result as quickly as possible, as a quick and easy reference. (Also good for work, where the sound of a video can be distracting or hard to scan through).
