Week #7: 10/20/11 Advanced Portrait Retouching

"If you want reality take the bus." - David LaChapelle  
 

"I do not object to retouching, dodging. or accentuation as long as they do not interfere with the natural qualities of photographic technique." - Alfred Stieglitz

  Even more advanced retouching on our portraits!  On today's agenda is the following:

• Instead of liquify... Puppet Warp, Warp Transform, or Simply Transform a selected area
• Color and tone on select areas (eyes, lips, teeth, eyebrows, etc.)
• Hue/Saturation adjustments
• Skin Smoothing
• Sharpening  

I would also suggest you take advantage of the free Lynda.com tutorials offered to FIT students via the myFIT webpage under Web Resources.  Of particular interest should be Photoshop CS5: Portrait Retouching by Chris Orwig.
