              A Before And After Look Of How Beauty Retouching Is Done In Video

              As a retoucher, I’m always fascinated by the world of video and how retouching is done in beauty commercials. Foton Inc. released a video a few months ago showing how to make someone look younger with their “Age Reduction FX” technique. Now, here’s another video showing how retouching in video is done in 4k format for a typical beauty video. 

              Whether this is now an industry standard, I am not sure. There are also probably other methods of retouching video too. This is probably the cleanest way out there. However, this does give a great in depth look at retouching video without retouching each frame individually. Apparently, after a standard retouch is achieved, it appears that the results are tracked over the face as the subject moves. This allows for a clean and consistent look without blurring the skin at all.

              Foton states:

              We developed special movie retouching techniques that won’t damage a detail of material,

              and don’t use “blur skill” for it that is why you feel more real.

              And also we work on 4K data without compressing 4K into HD.

              This model already had the natural beauty. However,we could improve it more to perform retouching,free transform, and color correction in the movie.

                Good but some parts still look very plastic. For example if you check the finish/original at 02:18 – the cheek under the right eye looks way to retouched (Atleast if you really compare it). Plus the original shot looks already very plastic/cgi-ish (could be lighting though)

                Mind = fucked.

                I guess I’m the only one who thinks that the original looks better. The finished image looks artificial, over smooth and plasticky.

                Very very easy material to work with, they basically only had to remove a few spots and lighten up a few places (under the eye etc.) And 3-4 days, wow… we’re doing 30 sec commercials with 20 clips in different framing / movement in that time, with 45 year old models!

                However, nice video to look at!
