Professional Photo-Retouching Video Tutorial: Hair
(via: www.whiteinkblog.com) I am back with a brand new exciting photo-retouching tutorial. In this tutorial I will focus on the hair. Before watching please note that there is a lot of information in this video to absorb, so watch and re-watch areas. I’d recommend pausing it at regular intervals before continuing so that you fully understand all the processes. Some of the areas covered in this video are:
– Colour Correction
– Removing Unwanted Straps and Hair
– Adjusting tonal values
– Grading the image
– Boosting image vividness
– Removing blemishes
– Working with blending modes
There are a lot of techniques and processes that go into each of the above, so if you’ve got a question leave a comment or contact me over at www.whiteinkblog.com and i'll do my best to help.
This is the image I used: Before Photograph
Here are some before and after shots:

Hi thanks for the tutorial, just one thing that is annoying is the background noise of your computer.

Wicked tutorial, not to complicated either, i like your teaching style.
Perfect, it was worth watching this video. I learned a lot!
Thnks Yousseff :D
NICE EASY TO FOLLOW TUTORIALS!
awesome tut! retouching is a quite hard field. there are many tips & tricks, hard to discover by yourself. it would be great to create a serie of retouch tutorials. each part could be about something different: eyes, skin, hair (like this one), mouth&teeth, curves (not only for skin but also for final mood) etc. I'd love to see tutorial about skin - especially detailed techniques of changing colour, making a suntan, making a professional skin texture, etc. plenty of things to show :)
Awesome stuff - really useful I have to say...makes you much voluminous hair etc in the photos and indeed in the ads areis just simply editing. Your retouching gives so much life to the photo there as well, it looks natural and vibrant which is very impressive. Nice one!
Really great post!!!
super
Great tutorial awaiting your updates! I recommend modelphotoretouching.com for one on one photo retouching lessons (only in Los Angeles).
Hair loss is a great loss to which Hair transplants is a great solution.
You're brave, doing everything on one background copy :) My layers end up a mile high.
