I will write the steps for you. 1. Duplicate the background layer twice, name the bottom Color and turn off the top.
2. Convert the Color layer to a smart filter, then apply the Noise > Median filter to smooth out the skin, adjusting it until it's balanced.
3. Create a new layer for texture, set mode to Overlay, fill with 50% gray, and convert for smart filters.
4. Add Noise (around 30%, uniform, monochromatic), then add Gaussian Blur (around 1.8) for a realistic skin texture.
5. Turn on the top layer, apply a High Pass filter with the same radius as Gaussian Blur (1.8), set blending mode to Linear Light, and group all layers.
6. Refine with Blend If sliders to protect highlights and shadows, then apply a black mask.
7. Use a soft brush to paint over areas where you want to apply the effect; adjust layer opacities if needed.
8. Record these steps as an action with a shortcut for faster future retouching. Adjust settings per image as needed.
Thank me later

This, once again, is fantastic work, Unmesh! Clever!
Question: how well does this work when there's lots of other elements in the background (e.g. the person is surrounded by leaves and branches, or other textures in the shot that make the facial edges harder to see Will first selecting the subject help control the area you're painting in, i.e. to stay in bounds The examples seen here have faces that easily stand out against the background, so wondering how much of a factor this is.
Thank you so much!

Brilliant, as ever. But you are so slick, my dodgy old brain can't keep up. If only you had time to write a book! That would be manna indeed. Thanks for all of your tips, tricks and tutorials.
