Achieving lightroom smooth skin involves careful editing to maintain a natural look while reducing imperfections. Start by using the Spot Removal tool to eliminate blemishes. Then, adjust the Texture and Clarity sliders slightly downward to soften skin without losing detail. The HSL panel can help even out skin tones by reducing orange or red saturation. For finer control, use the Adjustment Brush with negative Sharpness and positive Noise Reduction settings. Avoid over-editing, as excessive smoothing can make skin appear plastic-like. Presets designed for skin retouching can speed up the process, but manual tweaks ensure personalized results. Lightroom’s non-destructive editing allows reverting changes, making it ideal for portrait retouching. Combining Lightroom with Photoshop for advanced techniques like frequency separation can further enhance skin smoothing while preserving realism.
