Lip Retouching
These controls target just the lips and surrounding area of the mouth.

 Upper Lip Smooth: Lets you smooth out fine age lines that can appear above lips.

The parameters in this group let you modify the hue of the blush region of a subject’s cheek,
letting you correct an unwise makeup choice, or push a subject’s blush color around to add
makeup that wasn’t there.

 Saturation: This slider then lets you intensify or remove blush color.
 Size: This slider lets you adjust the size of the blush area of the cheeks.
About Forehead, Cheek, and Chin Retouching
The next three groups of controls borrow a technique from portrait painters, who’ve long taken
advantage of the “traffic light” approach to rendering skin hues, that observes that foreheads
are often a bit yellow, the middle of the face is usually a bit red, and chins can be a bit green.
Acombination of unequal sun exposure, capillary distribution, and follicle growth account for
this, but the bottom line is that faces are seldom a single unified hue. This means that there may
be a region of the face that would benefit from individual adjustment (cheeks that have gotten
too much sun, for example). But it also means that when you allow a bit of hue variation into your
face grade, you can achieve a more naturalistic result.
(Left) A face graded with a single hue, (Right) A face graded
with slight variation in the forehead, blush area, and chin
TIP: For a variety of reasons, people are extremely sensitive to the hues of skin tone,
so tiny variations that can be difficult to identify nevertheless have a significant impact
on the resulting visuals. Unless you’re aiming to create a special effect, these controls
are meant to be used sparingly.
