A 1 hour and 10 minutes long video tutorial, showcasing 4 different photos and how to retouch them!
The video is 1200×900 resolution, so you can see everything that’s going on (preview is widescreen) clearly, and easily follow along with the audio.
I will be working with 4 different photographs, all 4 are photos that I’ve taken myself with my Canon 550D, under less than optimal conditions. You get 6 different files, an intro, a tutorial for each photograph, and a bonus clip. Throughout the tutorials, I will explain how to enhance the various photos in different ways.
Portrait Retouching:
In this picture, you will learn how to make your portrait photos of your friends stand out more, how to enhance them, without making it look too silly and fake.
Black and White conversion:
In this tutorial, you learn how to create stylish Black and White pictures, that have that “photography gallery” style about them.
Outdoor Photo:
In this picture, we’ll look at how you can take a typical bland outdoor photograph, with an overexposed background, and bring out the subject and make it look way way better.
Home Studio Manipulation:
In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through how I took a simple “home studio” type set up photo, and how you can make it look a little more professional.
I’ll be working with both JPEG photos, as well as the RAW format. I’ll be primarily working in Photoshop, while bringing in Photoshops RAW editor in a little bit.
The following topics are covered:
- Skin cleaning, smoothing, and detail retention.
- Quick and effective masking of fur and hair.
- Fixing highlights and shadows.
- Changing backgrounds.
- Colour correction.
- Black and White conversion.
- And more!
