Adjusting Eyebrows to beautify a face using Photoshop
In This Photoshop tutorial will now provide you some basic steps involved in adding beauty to the face. Let’s use a small thumbnail as shown for this tutorial. We will correct this in Photoshop with a Levels Adjustment Layer.
Click on the Create a new fill or adjustment layer icon and select Levels. You'll notice when you look at the Levels histogram that this black graphic representation stops before it reaches the end. This is an indication that the image is too dark. Click on the white slider and move it towards the end of the histogram and click OK to fix our problem.
The next step is to fix the eyebrows. First add a new layer by clicking on the Create a new Layer icon in the layers palette. Rename this layer to Left Eyebrow by double clicking on its name. In this window you can change the name of the layer or give the layer a color in the layers palette. Whether you rename the layer by double clicking on its name or by entering the name in the New Layer window is all up to you. Continue by selecting the Clone Stamp Tool in the tool bar and checking the options bar.
Make sure that your Clone Stamp options look the same. In the option bar you'll notice that a particular brush was chosen. Click on the button with the black triangle and select a Master Diameter of 9 px and a Hardness of 0%.
By selecting the option Aligned in our options bar our target and source of the Clone Stamp Tool will always be aligned at any time, as if they are glued together; if you move the mouse pointer up then our 'virtual source' will move up, move it to left and the virtual source will move to the left too.
With the Clone Stamp Tool selected, hold down the Alt key (option key on the Mac) and move the cursor to the area marked. Press and release your left mouse button. Zoom in to about 300%.
What we're going to do now is cloning the skin above the eyebrow and use it to hide the upper area of the eyebrow, since me want to make the eyebrow took smaller. We do that by following the curve as marked with the top red arrow. If you don't have a steady hand, then you might consider following the curve by using single clicks. Once you're done you move the cursor back to location, but this time you start slightly lower, a distance that's only slightly smaller than the size of our cursor. Now you're going to repeat the same step again; following the curve and hiding the hairs of the eyebrow with the cloned skin.
Depending on the size of your brush my might have to do this 2,3 or 4 times, every time starting slightly lower.
The errors can be corrected by using the Clone Stamp to clone skin from different source areas. When you do that you might consider to lower the opacity a bit, to around 50% and use a
slightly larger. Another option is to use the Healing Brush Tool which keeps lighting and color as much as possible intact, but avoid to use the Healing Brush too close to the edge between eyebrow and skin or the results are going to be unpredictable.
Lock the Left Eyebrow layer when you're finished by making it active and clicking on the lock icon at the top of your layers palette. Do the same for the Right Eyebrow layer. You can now look a new face built up. Compare with the original image to feel the change!
