Low Key Glamour Retouch in Photoshop

Here is my last tutorial post for the year! I will be traveling across the country in the Technopod as part of my re-location  to Boston adventure, and I’ll be posting updates from the road. For now though, just to usher in the holiday season, I’m giving you a little holiday gift to help you with your portrait retouching.

This tutorial covers a number of techniques, including:

• basic spotting
• skin smoothing
• shadow de-saturation
• Overlay diffusion for a “glamour glow” effect

Bobbi Lane and I will be doing a workshop in Los Angeles at the Los Angeles Center for Photography on “Hollywood Lighting in the Hurrell Style,” April 30th & May 1st, 2016,  where I will be covering retouching techniques like this one, as well as many others. If you are in the LA area, and would like a more personal lesson in Glamour lighting and retouching retouching – register for our workshop here.
