10 Portrait Retouching Techniques Every Photographer Needs to Know

Level: Processing - Confident Beginner

As a photographer, your job is to make pictures.  While it's always great to sit around and play in Photoshop, there are times where you do not have hours to do so.  It's also not cost effective for you to send out your work to a retoucher for work that you could do yourself.

In this seminar, RC Concepcion (curriculum developer of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals and host of Photography Tips and Tricks) will go over some of the common techniques used in portrait retouching so you can make them a part of your digital arsenal.  RC will go over a couple of finishing tricks and cool effects to give your images a different look - not in hours but in minutes.
