Retouch In Photoshop.jpg

In this tutorial, you will learn how to retouch a portrait in Photoshop.

The purpose of this tutorial is to give you a high level overview of the different steps and how to do them. Some of the ideas I present here are option that you can choose to do or not do, depending on the result you are looking for. Some of the ideas are very refined and sometimes stylistic for my high end, fashion and editorial clients. Some prefer a subtle “tuneup” that enhances the natural face and this is usually the best style of retouching, where the retouching is invisible unless you compare the before and after results. The techniques presented here will allow you to do either style.
