About the video: Retouching in Photoshop II - Part I
Overview
“Now we will develop an advanced skin touch-up using non-destructive techniques with curves and specific color corrections. The technique to be used is called Dodge & Burn, which today is considered the most advanced and professional technique for skin retouching. By means of the "lighten" and "darken" curves, we will be able to mold the light to help tighten and soften the light and shadow transitions of our photo. Remember to turn these curves on and off as you go through the retouching. Do not lose sight of the reference of the original photo! The goal is to keep the image as natural as possible. In this case it is preferable to retouch less than to retouch more and lose the naturalness! ”
In this video lesson Nicolás Cuenca addresses the topic: Retouching in Photoshop II - Part I, which is part of the Domestika online course: Beauty Photography. Learn to produce beauty photographs from the idea to the digital retouching stage.

We will be able to advance on the image without destroying what our background image is, the original image, because we can erase the change We can start over...”
