Female Base Setting is a subtle starting point for retouching close-up portraits of women. It favors beauty lighting, keeping shadows open and filling the face with light for a polished, flattering result that preserves each person’s individuality. Sliders are intentionally set in a low-to-mid range so every image can be evaluated on its own. Use it as a baseline, then adjust each slider with your own eye. The goal is to show each person in their best light without over-manipulating the image.
