Professional Photo-Retouching Video Tutorial: Hair

Youssef Sarhan — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 03:35:20 +0000

(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:

This is the first tutorial in a series on photographic retouching. In this tutorial I'll try to demonstrate the level of editing that goes into removing any discrepancies in the skin.

I have divided the whole process into parts. Beginning with skin tones and blemishes.

- Tidying skin blemishes & Removal of unwanted hair

- Colour Correction

A Perfect Truth: Reverse Photoshop Processing

Youssef Sarhan — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 02:30:23 +0000

As a follow on from yesterday, this is the second of this style. I have reversed the process, to create a reverse processing style to the video. I feel this clearly shows a person for how the really appear. Stripping back all the work to reveal the face as it was, as it is. I hope you enjoy.

I will be posting a tutorial video shortly. More then likely it will be a series as there will be many ares to cover. So after a certain amount of videos it will cover nearly all the processes covered in my timelapse videos.

Bored at home with Photoshop: The Tutorial

Cameron — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 10:28:37 +0000

Last week I posted "Bored at home with Photoshop™" which showed a sped up process of me retouching an image. I was pretty surprised with the results and the simplicity of the effect. With some persuasion by Fabio, I decided to create a tutorial on how I achieved that effect.

So without further ado here is the tutorial:

Bored at home with Photoshop

Cameron — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 06:02:55 +0000

Well it's been almost 7 months since I posted my last video on here and I have learned a lot of great techniques since then. The "A perfect lie in Adobe Photoshop" was a great start; however, I have learned that the techniques that I had used before may not actually be the proper way.

Over the past 7 months I've learned a number of different methods and have experimented countless times. On numerous occasions I had to stop and take a step back and just remember the basics. I learned some pretty cool effects and I think this one is one of my favorites.

So without further ado:
