    This is a really wonderful class. Clear instruction - the only thing is that I wish there was a bit better explanation about liquefying and what the purpose of using that tool is. However, wonderful class overall!

    I loved this workflow!! It taught me so much and I've even been able to use some of the technique when editing some of the recent pictures I've shot. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

  • Cheryl Hofferber C. May 4, 2019

    I really learned so much from the workflow and he explained each step and showed the effect of the action. I learned so much. This is great for a frustrated person, me, trying to edit photos. There is so much in Photoshop to learn and this is a great starting point. Highly recommend this course.

    I found this class to be straightforward, to the point and easily digestible. I enjoy the way Pratki teaches. He's calm, knowledgeable and trustworthy.

  • Bjorn C. Mar 21, 2018

    I like the fact that Naik is presenting us with a full retouching workflow, however basic it may be. This makes it a lot easier to wrap your head around as you’re learning. It’s a very short and basic class, but the calm and logical approach of Naik makes it a gold mine for someone who’s trying to make sense out of skin retouching.

    Solid class, though could use some work with pacing. I really liked the part about using different layers for editing work
