    This was packed with so much information! It really helped me open my eyes to different ways to edit.

    short with lots of information :)

    Fabulous introduction to editing skin. learning how to use modes for clone and heal tools is an absolute game changer! Also incredibly helpful was the tips on using plugins, I have Portraitpro and its so easy to go overboard. I thought I already knew the basics of these tools, but my control of these tools just went from about 2 to 12 out of 10!!! thanks Lindsay, I cant wait to get to the Advanced class and blend modes next - I bought the blends one because it was on special, but after watching this, I cant wait to get a better understanding of the blending modes. simply amazing. For wrinkles, pimples, blemishes, dark circles, start right here! cheers

    Excellent, clear and some new uses of tools (to me at least).

    Definitely a good course to get you effective in portrait retouching. Although the course is only a little over an hour long, it's ram-packed full of information (one can only imagine how long it would take to absorb the volume of information from readying a text book - any one remember those!) and is also accompanied by a useful downloadable 'at a glance' recap sheet of the whole course. Your photography will never be the same again once you know these retouching skills. Well worth the investment.

    Love this course and the way Lindsay Adler is teaching - basics good and concises explained, no blalba, just the important things you have to know to start. Thank you!

  • Sandra S. Nov 3, 2017

    Excellent! great information and she didn't take forever to explain . I just don't like the classes where the instructor rambles on and on. A working busy photographer doesn't have time for all that.

    Thanks Lindsay! Super helpful.

    Outstanding introduction to portrait retouching! It's concise and provides an excellent overview of relevant tools and when they might be useful. This 73 minute video has been much more helpful to me than any Lynda course I've taken. Lindsay Adler is a gem.

    Lindsey is an expert in every aspect of photography and, in my opinion, can do no wrong. She's not the type teacher who is there to win a popularity contest and put on a semi-phony act; she's simply Lindsey, the real thing. I particularly love her editorial work; excellent taste in wardrobe, lighting makeup and set (if there is one). She's simply one of a kind and is as likable as she is knowledgable in all areas.

    Great course, very helpful! Recommand it 100%! Lindsay is AWESOME as usual. PS: You have to buy the Portraiture feature to use it, I wish it could be it photoshop itself :'(

    Awesome course! Can't wait to buy the next one!
