1.8 Photorealistic Caricature
Objective
Learn basic retouching and practice masking by turning a portrait into a caricature
1) Color-correct your photo using the Camera Raw Filter.
2) Use the spot-healing brush on a new layer and remove any temporary blemishes.
3) Save your changes with a snapshot layer and complete the following steps:
- Select a feature and separate it onto its own layer
- Enlarge and align the feature
- Mask the edges so the skin blends together believably
- Repeat as needed
4) Add a solid color background and paint a light glow behind your head.
5) High-pass sharpen and “dodge and burn” to add depth.
