retouch

Step-by-step Pieces by Christophe Heut

Nowadays some may say Photoshop i really overrated, since everyone knows a bit about it and there's a lot of tutorials on the web explaining how to use this tool. Well, I would say there's a ton of guys using it nowadays, however only a few really can make perfect retouchings and montages as Christophe Heut.

This guy is really out of this world, you probably have already seen a lot of his manipulation thru the web, since he worked with many big clients and famous campaigns. In his Website I found this making ofs of some pieces that he did and after seeing this I kind find I really can do more with less on photoshop. Don't forget to visit Christophe website, he got some pretty wicked works.

Professional Photographic Retouching Tutorial (40Mins, Start-To-Finish)

Youssef Sarhan — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 03:01:30 +0000

This is the second tutorial in a series on photographic retouching. The first part was all about evening skin tonal values and removing blemishes. In this part I will take you through everything else. So, as a result it's a long video (40 Mins).

Originally written for www.whiteinkblog.com .In this tutorial I will complete a professional photographic retouching from start to finish. Before watching please note that there is a lot of information in this video to absorb, so watch and re-watch areas that you find more advanced. This is a 40 minute video, 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:

If you do not have time right now to watch the 40 minute tutorial, I'd suggest you watch this video, it goes through what we will be doing in a summarised version as I am aware the lenght of the video is quite long.

– Colour Correction
– Reshaping Features (Figure, Eyes, Lips, Cheeks, etc)
– Adjusting tonal values
– Grading the image
– Simulating a Realistic Depth of Field Simulation
– Selective Enhancement of areas

There are a lot of sub-techniques and sub-processes that go into each of the above, so if you've got a question leave a comment and I'll do my best to answer.

Ok, I have included two versions here, both are the same video except the second one is higher res, suitable for fullscreen.

Standard Res.

A Perfect Truth: Reverse Photshop Processing + Video Tutorials?

Youssef Sarhan — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:10:56 +0000

There are many touch-up videos on youtube, but not so many in depth tutorials. I've been getting a lot of requests, suggestions and questions so I've been thinking. Perhaps it's about time I do some tutorials. Now with youtube's better quality, it's possible to upload high-quality/high-def widescreen videos. This would work great for tutorials videos.

Drop me a comment, if you'd like to see some tutorials or even have some tutorial suggestions let me know. I'd be happy to start them.

This is my most recent video, it's a reverse process of photographic touchup. Perhaps going against the grain of my other videos. I have reversed the process, 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.

More videos to follow soon. I hope this gives an slight insight into the stages photos are taken through to create a 'sellable' face. Let me know what you think, and if you'd like tutorials. Check out some of the related content below for more cool stuff.

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:

A Perfect Lie in Photoshop

Cameron — Sat, 17 May 2008 02:27:02 +0000

Hi my name is Cameron Rad. I am 17 years old and am an aspiring graphic designer from Los Angeles, California. I have been using photoshop for almost 2 years now and thought i should take it upon myself to try something new. I have always been fascinated by how models and actresses appear to have that glowing, flawless look. So over a period of 3 months I worked night and day to take this photo:

And turn it into something amazing. I went through about 40 different makeover techniques, until i found what i thought was the best balance for this photo. By combining 2 very common techniques, i think i have found a good "flawless" skin method.
