The Art of Retouching - Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom Retouching Tutorials

Summary: There are many professional image retouchers, professional retouching websites, and photoshop tutorials that teach a style of retouching that I would refer to as ‘glamour’. The reason I call it ‘glamour’ is because they take a perfectly normal photograph, usually of a model, and then they over exaggerate all the different aspects of the image. For example, the whites are blown out, the contrast is sharp, the colors are over saturated, and the overall image looks very stylized.`` ``The type of photo editing that we do here is not like that at all. Our work is more grounded. We feel that we do our best work, when you can’t tell that we did anything at all. Our photoshop techniques don’t exaggerate the blowouts, we actually fil in the blowouts, leaving the detail and better print reproduction.````Overall, our look is more natural, and that’s what we’re looking to teach. By backing away from the overkill, you’re left with something that looks realistic, and believable. Once you understand the fundamentals of image editing, you can then let your creative side free.

 How to Succeed as a Freelancer | Freelancing Strategies | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 13:15

The sad thing about working as a freelancer is that thanks to the word "Free", people often think that the work you do is low cost. In their mind, they are doing YOU the favor by keeping you busy, and helping you grow your portfolio so you can start making some real money. This mindset completely undervalues your work, forcing you to spend all your time underpaid. If you could only break out of the low-cost slump through effective freelancing strategies, you might begin living a more prosperous life. The problem lies in my past belief that the price was too high; I assumed others wouldn't pay those rates. Boy, was I wrong.

 8-Bit vs. 16-Bit | Bit Depth | What is Tonal Range? | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 12:33

What is the difference between editing images in 8-bit or 16-bit? While it should be obvious that 16-bit color is significantly better than 8-bit color. After all, 8-bit is only 16.7 million colors when comparing that to 16-bit which is 2.81 Trillion Colors. However, it just doesn't seem that way to the naked eye. This is because humans can only see less than 10 million colors anyway. Since 8-bit already exceeds 16 million colors, why in the world do we need to work in a bit depth that moves us into trillions of colors? Visually, they both look the same, why use the higher resolution?

Properly masking an image with Adobe Photoshop is often done using one of the simple selection tools like Magic Wand or Lasso. This is simply the wrong approach.

I'm going to let you in on the tips and tricks that I use behind the scenes in order to come up with a clean and accurate final image. Lets get started.

 10 More Things Still Missing in Photoshop CC for Retouchers | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Adobe has released another update to Photoshop CC. They even released a pretty interesting video showing the future of the entire suite of products. While this was a video to showcase their new partnership with Microsoft, there is plenty to look forward to. Unfortunately, I am not a graphic designer, illustrator, or video editor. I have only seen one thing out of Adobe since the initial release of CC over a year ago that I even cared about, much less used (Linked Smart Objects). Sadly, I even needed to be an advanced composite user to even care about that. My Previous Top 10 List was passed along to Adobe's Engineers by Julieanne Kost (thanks). While I don't know if anything I wrote about the first time will ever make it into Photoshop for Photographers and Retouchers, I feel it's important to keep them on their toes. Therefore, I bring to your attention 10 more things still missing in Photoshop for retouchers. No related posts.
