One nice feature of this method is that it, along the various steps, gives intermediary results that you may like. Steps & Keyboard Shortcuts 1.) Duplicate Layer - CTRL/CMD - J 2.) Add High Pass Sharpening — enough to bring out edges — avoid haloing and exaggerating skin pores. 3.) Duplicate Layer - CTRL/CMD - J 4.) Invert Layer - CTRL/CMD - I 5.) Change Blend Mode of the top layer to DIVIDE 6.) Merge top two layers by selecting them both (CTRL/CMD - Click on each), then hitting CTRL/CMD - E 7.) Add a Levels Adjustment to the top layer — CTRL/CMD - L 8.) Click on the bottom, background layer and duplicate it - CTRL/CMD - J 9.) Drag that duplicated background layer to the top of the layer stack. 10. ) Add Gaussian Blur to that layer. I’ve found that a similar pixel radius that was used for high pass sharpening, works well here. 11.) Change the blend mode of the top layer to a blend mode in the forth section from the top. In the video I used “Pin Light”. Alternate Method (One step shorter, similar results) 1.) Duplicate Layer - CTRL/CMD - J 2.)
