Product Overview
These are the advanced techniques. The tools to getting High End Beauty. And, as with anything in life where detail matters crucially, this section is time-intensive. I mean, you’re getting 4+ HOURS of retouching training. It’s unbelievable. Really, this course is huge. (Sorry for the download times.)
You’ll be getting our in-depth, intricate, professional workflow. No automatic short-cuts. No easy ways out. This is advanced retouching instruction for those who want to master retouching.
Not only will you learn all the tools, you’ll also learn how to complete unique tasks only professional retouchers usually worry about — retouching and pushing color grades, setting the background color, retouching the tiny hairs around mouth & lips, and fine-tuning skintones.
The average photographer shouldn’t be given this much information. Why? Well because it’s going to put all the professional retouchers out of work.
