make sense of the process.
Retouching portraits can be extremely work intensive. Learn time-saving techniques from Pratik Naik of Solstice Retouch.
With Pratik’s guidance you’ll develop a blueprint for retouching portraits by utilizing the tools you already work with just in a more efficient manner. You'll also learn the trick to developing a plan of action before you even start to tackle an image. In this class, Pratik will help you make sense of the retouching process, no matter how much retouching experience you have.
Software Used: Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 15.0
Good class! However, I primarily purchased it based on the cover photo. But the editing did not feature that picture at all. I think that's misleading - in fact I felt cheated.
Absolutely love it! Simple explanations, clear flow, tools and principles, that makes workflow more smooth and efficient.
This class is absolutely wonderful, I honestly thought I was pretty decent at retouching (not pro but good for a self taught). I learnt everything online and have realised how heavy handed I have become. His workflow is incredibly clean, simple and natural- looks amazing. Definitely following this procedure from here in
This tutorial was my turning point. This was when I said I'm done researching retouching tutorials. I wasted a lot of time in youtube and here it is in CL. Great job sir Pratik. - Vincent Munoz
Patience is a virtue, in this case its a professional development tool. This is not a plug-in course to get things done quickly, or sloppily. No, he is showing you the foundation elements, and techniques to get you to the next level. This is not a full high end retouch, but your patience using his technique is critical to becoming a better retoucher. One of my Professional Mentors.
The class has nothing to do with the cover photo , it is a simple retouching face.
This course was more about HOW to retouch rather than how to do it as efficiently as possible. The only time saving techniques he taught were some keyboard shortcuts. I still enjoyed learning the new dodging and burning techniques however.
Mr. Naik obviously knows what he is doing. His work is beautifully done, and he is careful to explain everything in detail. I have learned a great deal from him.
