Description

Whether you're new to portrait editing or have been retouching for a while now, you're probably here because you're looking to learn how to create a higher-quality retouch.

What sets a high-quality retouch apart from an average retouch? If you can create a result that looks like real skin and makes the model look like herself, yet she still looks flawless - you've created a high-quality retouch! Popular trends are moving away from airbrushed-looking images, where models are made to look like porcelain dolls. Instead, we are moving towards images that feel unretouched and "real".

Often, basic techniques such as frequency separation can create results that look over-edited. The techniques taught in this tutorial will instead create a very natural result that maintains the complete structural integrity and all the texture of the model's skin!

You will learn a retouching workflow that is centered around quality and efficiency. The techniques are unique and novel and can be applied to any portrait shot (daytime / studio / nighttime / etc.). This tutorial will take your retouching game to the next level!

Ive tried retouching tutorials before, "Professional color correction" and Dodge and burn walkthroughs. But NOBODY has explained it as simple as Alex. 1000% worth the investment if you want to learn. I saw her results in her work and love the style.

Eine wirklich tolle Einführung in die Retusche des Gesichts! Ich habe einige Erfahrungen mit der Frequency Separation, die aber, wie erklärt, destruktiv in der Bearbeitung ist. Alex geht hier ohne Bildverlust vor und bearbeitet prägnant, ohne einbußen im Material zu haben. Viele Techniken für den Workflow und die Betrachtungsweise kommen mit anbei. Eine wirklich tolle Sequenz!
