I apologize if this question has been asked before. I'm an amatuer photography that has taken photos in pretty much every field except modeling and I'm becoming increasingly interested in them. In many of the shots I see on this forum and other places the models skin always looks soft and radiant. I know a lot of it has to do with lighting, make-up, etc. However, I know a lot also has to do with PP. How is the soft and radiant look acheived?
PS: I am using Photoshop CS3 if it helps.
