DESCRIPTION:
Photography & Light Setup
In our first section, we’re going to discuss all thoughts behind this project. We will also go through a complete light diagram and talk briefly about all light modifiers.
Preparations
In this section, we will start out with the basic raw conversion. Taking our image from raw to a smart object in Photoshop. We will then apply a help / reference layer for later use.
Basic retouching
In our second section we will concentrate on facial expression & Basic skin retouching. We’re starting out by using the liquefying tool for most body corrections. Then clean up the skin with the healing & cloning tools to achieve a soft skin.
Skin Retouching
In our advanced skin retouching section, our aim is to add a complete new skin to our basic skin pallet. Once we have managed to do that, we will be working with some creative filters & mask to apply the new skin.
Dodge & Burn
Section five, also known as the painting with light process. In this section we will apply a grey layer to our PSD file and paint / brush out all uneven skin tones. We’re also going to use this technique to darken and lighten skin tones.
Virtual Make-up
For our second last section, we’re adding another sparkle. We will brighten up the eyes and apply some make-up and putting some final touches for skin color & tones.
Final Touch-up
In our last section, we will be working with some creative plugins & filters, in order to achieve two different looks. One will be a more glamorous look with a very soft skin. The other will be a high key look, with a very white and bright skin. (This is not a must, it can all be adjusted to your taste)

Learned Loads!
Very fluent and easy to understand. Learned so many things in a blink of an eye! Thank you for this inspiring pro tutorial, well worth the time & penny…. Highly recommend ;)
Thank you, this is a really great course. Wow this course really helped me, take my beauty retouching to another level. I’ve learned so many new techniques and small tricks to speedup my workflow and getting the perfect skin in just a few simple steps. I can honestly say, this might be one of the best skin retouching techniques that I’ve seen so far. What I really love about this course, is the fact that it comes with the original photoshop file. Which makes it super easy to follow and understand.
Amazing course! I use photoshop for quite some time now for retouching, but i’ve always wondered how to do high-end beauty retouching! I’m glad I found this course, I’ve learnt a lot. Thank you Retutpro!
A lot of great info… simple to follow and understand
Pretty straightforward overview course for beauty shoots.
The course takes one image and teaches you how you can apply beautiful retouching techniques to just about any portrait. It was very easy to follow, and I learned a lot of basic techniques as well as some of those all-important “secret sauce” tips that only an experienced professional can teach you!
Ich hätte mir noch mehr zu den Augen gewünscht und dass die RAW-Datei gleich dabei wäre.
Great course, straight to the point…..not a lot of pointless chatter. I love that. I also like the fact that the instructor added the course photo for practice.
Thank you, Nice

Manfred is a good instructor, chapters and then workflow are well organized and some techniques are uncommon (Inverted High-pass … )
