Best process for skin retouching many photos fast

automatic skin 'softening' always looks like ass
take your time to dodge and burn
100 pictures are roughly 50 hours if you want to do it right, that's just the way it is. that's why 100 pictures is not an amount you want to hand over for any kind of shoot that involves edited skin

You can use layers in photoshop.

Portraiture plugin for Photoshop.

Sure if you're a retard who don't use layers and eraser.

if you want that plastic look from OP's picture then sure portraiture, blurring the low freq layer and whatnot is the way to go
while everything serious is handmade dodge and burn

Do you mean the one by Imagenomic?

>>3099921
As someone else pointed out the only (and I mean only) good way of doing this is with Imagenomic Portraiture. The trick is to turn down the final opacity down to taste, or else it'll look a little too much.

Another program that has went from kind of a joke in the retouching arena to becoming quite capable in some areas is PortraitPro. Check that out, too. Both do batch.

I have PS but not good with it. LR I am pretty good with. I edit RAW files. Is it better for me to get Portraiture for PS or LR?

>>3100593
It takes no extra time to paint with black on a mask than it does to use an eraser on a pixel layer.

>>3100670
why not both, just torrent it faggot

I usually use PS instead of LR tho. You should have more control with PS because of layers and other functionalities

Spank you kindly. I fucking hate retouching portraits. And if it means that I'll never make it as a portrait photographer, then so be it. That shit is mind-numbingly tedious.

>shit takes 30s to do
>tedious

Nah you're just too retarded or biased against it for no reason, probably both

>>3101701
>30s
you're not retouching then

>>3101701
I'm not him but if you think a 30s retouch isn't going to look like fucking shit no matter what (unless the resolution of the end photo is going to be small) you clearly haven't developed any sensible taste yet for retouching

help me invisible son

I tried both LR and PS versions of portraiture and it's much better for PS because you can change opacity and erase/mask.

My question is, how should my workflow look? Once I've edited all my RAWs in Lightroom, export to JPG and then batch process them with portraiture in PS? And finally, do some light retouching and save file in PS?

Is there a better way, if I want to preserve quality and not have gigantic file sizes?

Fuck editing jpgs

For once, the problem is not just that you're working with Adobeshit, there are pretty much no workflows that will remain in RAW.

But use lossless tiff and have a computer and storage that aren't shit. Works even for 42 or 50MP images.

i know this stuff isnt you guys personal taste and that customers ask for this look but nevertheless i just need to say that unnatural skin retouching looks like ass and basically transforms elegant pictures into teenage girl fantasies
