Image Editing Retouching and Restoration 2

Question 1

Which technique is used to whiten teeth in portrait retouching?

Accepted Answer

Adding a Curves layer targeting the teeth with increased brightness and reduced yellow

Answer

A Curves or Hue/Saturation adjustment masked to the teeth area lets you brighten and desaturate yellow tones for natural whitening.

Question 2

What is the 'Liquify' tool used for in portrait retouching?

Accepted Answer

Reshaping and warping areas of an image, such as facial features

Answer

The Liquify filter lets you push, pull, and warp pixels to reshape facial features, body contours, and other areas.

Question 3

Which blend mode is useful when dodging or burning with a 50% gray layer?

Accepted Answer

Soft Light

Answer

Soft Light blend mode renders 50% gray as neutral, so painting lighter or darker grays on that layer dodges or burns the underlying image non-destructively.

Question 4

What is the advantage of retouching on a separate layer instead of directly on the background?

Accepted Answer

Non-destructive editing — original pixels remain untouched

Answer

Working on a separate layer preserves the original pixels, allowing you to undo, reduce opacity, or discard changes at any time.

Question 5

Which tool in Photoshop is best for removing red-eye caused by flash photography?

Accepted Answer

Red Eye Tool

The Red Eye Tool automatically detects and replaces the red pupil color caused by flash reflection with a natural dark tone.
