I’ve had a number of people ask me about my retouching techniques so I’ve decided to do a small 2 hour workshop in order to teach some of the techniques I use when I retouch my images. The workshop is limited to 3 attendees and will cost $75/person. I currently have two people signed up and have room for only one more. If you have an interest in attending this workshop on July 28th 6PM – 8PM or in one-on-one lessons then please contact me at scott@three2three.com.
Here are two videos featuring my retouching techniques. They have been sped up in order to last the length of the song but you will see how in-depth I go with my retouching and what I would be able to teach you.
At the workshop, I will teach the following:
Lightroom
- Exposing for post processing.
- Beyond defaults.
- Exposure vs Brightness.
- Using the adjustment brush with purpose.
In addition you will receive my personal import preset for Lightroom that utilizes a custom tone curve and exposure settings to ensure the most tonal range possible in an image. If you bring your camera or a RAW image with a proper exposure I will help you adjust the preset to your shooting style and camera output.
Photoshop
- Non-destructive editing.
- Masks.
- Preliminary skin cleaning tools,
- Advanced retouching techniques using frequency separation.
- Effective Burning and Dodging.
- Local Contrast Techniques.
- Sharpening Methods.
- Luminance Masking.
In addition you will receive a custom action pack to help you perform common tasks needed while retouching.
I will be teaching the workshop while working on a 42″ LCD so that everyone can easily see the tools and techniques. You can bring a laptop if you’d like to follow along. You can also bring some images that you want retouching suggestions on. If we get through the materials before the 2 hours is up then we’ll spend additional time on any questions you have about retouching.
Again, if you have an interest in attending this workshop on July 28th 6PM – 8PM or in one-on-one lessons then please contact me at scott@three2three.com.
