Photo Retouching for Portraits (TBD)
“We have reached the end of the course! Thank you for getting this far and letting me be part of your entire process. // Before finishing, I want to leave you with some advice for the development of your final project. 1 - Remember that the selection of the photos you are going to present is very important, // for this, keep in mind the lesson where we reviewed factors such as light, composition, model, and others that we must take into account when choosing our photos. On the other hand, if what you are going to do is a small sample of your retouching portfolio, // try to select photos where that editing is evident and you can demonstrate your mastery of retouching. 2 - Then, do a first development of your photographs in Camera RAW and establish a work order that respects the maximum quality of your photos throughout the process. 3 - Once you are in Photoshop, reframe, clean up and organize your shots to create striking and impeccable compositions. 4 - With this ready, edit the skin in the most professional way with frequency separation // and then retouch details of the body with several layers of opacity. // Don't forget that for the complete skin editing you can correct the tones and recover the original color. 5 - Finally, you will edit the color with various Camera Raw filter layers and adjustment layers until you begin to discover and generate your own colorization style. 6 - Finally you will export your files to store and present them in the best way! The most important thing is that you enjoy this part of the process and that you practice so much that it becomes one of your skills and competencies. I hope this course has met your expectations and you feel that you have the necessary tools to develop yourself in digital retouching. I now invite you to participate in the forum, comment on your colleagues' work and interact with the community. Thank you for being here See you at the forum ”
