This tutorial unravels the secrets behind achieving flawless skin textures without losing the essence of natural beauty. Perfect for photographers, videographers, and enthusiasts eager to elevate their post-production skills, this guide is your ticket to high-end results.


Starting with the Layer Mixer, we introduce the concept of frequency separation by using the blending mode to subtract, effectively dividing the skin texture into low and high frequencies. This critical first step lays the groundwork for detailed retouching, allowing for precise control over skin details and underlying tones.

Next, we add another serial node to introduce blur, simulating the soft, smooth texture that is often seen in high-end photography and cinematography. This technique blurs imperfections while retaining the skin's natural contours and highlights.

The magic continues as we create another Layer Mixer, applying the blending mode to add. This step reintegrates the separated frequencies, bringing back the skin's natural texture with enhanced smoothness. The basic node tree established here serves as the foundation for further refinement.

To achieve an even more polished look, we employ multiple serial nodes on the second Layer Mixer node. This allows for targeted adjustments and refinements. Using Power Window, we apply mid-tone detail enhancement and blur to specific areas, ensuring the skin appears naturally smooth and radiant.

Finally, we focus on making the eyes pop with targeted adjustments, bringing life and clarity to the subject's gaze. Along with basic color adjustments, this step ensures your subject looks their best, with vibrant, natural colors and a striking presence.

Whether you're a seasoned professional or a passionate enthusiast, this tutorial offers invaluable insights into high-end skin retouching and smoothing techniques in DaVinci Resolve. Elevate your post-production workflow and achieve breathtaking results with our step-by-step guide.
