Smoothing out skin in Lightroom

Gary752

I was re-watching one of my Creative Live workshops that I had purchased by Kevin Kubota entitled "Doing it right in Lightroom". Near the end he gave a tip on smoothing skin in Lightroom using the adjustment brush. You select the adjustment brush, and zero out all the settings, then set Contrast to -50, Clarity to -100, and Sharpness to -100. Then click and hold mouse on the Effect type, and scroll down to "Save current settings as a new preset" and then give it a name. I called mine "Skin Powder". Then set your brush size to your needs, feathering to 100, and flow to 20, and your good to go. This is a great alternative to doing frequency separation in PS.
