How to Smooth Skin FAST in DaVinci Resolve 20 FREE and Studio Version

I'm going to show you how to make someone's skin look better in Resolve. We're going to look at how to smooth someone's skin, reduce fine lines, uneven complexions, and how to reduce and maybe even remove pimples. If you're new here, I'm Ally, and Will and I release weekly Da Vinci Resolve tutorials as well as gear reviews. To stay in the loop, subscribe to our channel. Let's hop into Resolve and check this out. So, we're in Resolve and we have this clip of a woman whose skin has a bit of an uneven complexion. She also has larger pores and some pimples. And as she smiles, some of her pimples and blemishes move with her face into the shadows of her cheeks. That might cause us some problems when we work on reducing and removing those blemishes. So, we'll have to see how that goes. Let's go into the color page where we'll be working to make her skin look better. We're going to be creating several nodes.

This tool is really great because it allows us to select and isolate part of our image based on hue, saturation, and luminance. I'll click on the chin area that shows some uneven coloring on her face. to get a look at exactly what we're selecting and isolating. Press shift H to use the highlight tool. So everything in color is what we've selected and isolated, which means when we add our effect, it's only going to be applied to the colored areas. What I'm trying to do is select as much of her skin as possible without including her teeth or her hair. To refine this selection even more, we can adjust the luminance by dragging part of the slider to the right,
