How Do I Shape My Beard in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 3:36 pm

Beard shaping in Photoshop is a bit of an art form. You can use the Pen tool to create a path around the beard, and then use a layer mask to create a natural-looking transition. You can also use the Clone Stamp tool to clone areas of the beard to fill in any bald spots.

The first step is to create a path around the beard using the Pen tool. To do this, zoom in on the beard area and trace around the perimeter with the Pen tool. Once you have a complete path, right-click on the path and choose “Make Selection.”

Next, create a new layer and name it “Beard Mask.” With the Beard Mask layer selected, go to Edit > Fill and choose “Black” from the drop-down menu. This will fill the layer with black, which will act as our mask.

Now we need to inverse the mask so that the black area becomes transparent and only the beard is visible. To do this, go to Select > Inverse or press Shift+Ctrl+I on your keyboard.

With the mask inverted, we can now start shaping the beard. To do this, we’ll use the Clone Stamp tool.

Select the Clone Stamp tool from the toolbar or press S on your keyboard. Then, holding down Alt, click on an area of hair that you want to clone. Release the Alt key and click and drag to clone the hair over any bald spots or areas that you want to fill in.

Once you’re happy with how your beard looks, go to File > Save As and save your file as a PSD. That’s it! You’ve now successfully shaped your beard in Photoshop.
