Face-Aware Liquify Is the Retouching Shortcut I Wish I'd Had Years Ago
Portrait retouching used to eat my afternoons alive. A client sends over headshots, one eye looks slightly more closed than the other, or their expression came out a little flat, and suddenly I’m pushing pixels around with the standard Liquify brush like I’m trying to sculpt clay with a garden hose. Technically possible, consistently frustrating. When Adobe dropped Face-Aware Liquify in the CC 2015.5 update, it solved a problem I’d been brute-forcing for years without realizing a smarter solution existed.
