Portrait Retouching with John Ross
- November 14, 2012 · 6:00 PM
The smallest details will make or break a portrait. We see so many faces everyday, it becomes easy to pick out a poorly retouched image. Learn the skills of how to retouch men/women/children, and the different things to look for.
The three most important areas when retouching a portrait are going to be the eyes, the teeth, and the neck/chin/jowels. Do it right, and you can make the person look great. Here, we are going to discuss these problem areas, what to look for, and what you can do about it. Sometimes all it takes is a soft and subtle correction to fix some of the worst portraits, and create the Perfect Portraits.
Various Topics:
- Filling Shine
- Skin Color and Tone
- Skin Blemishes
- Hair Touchup
- Whiten the Eyes
- Whitening Teeth
Join us as we discuss the various steps to retouch: Skin, Eyes, Teeth, Jowels and even fix lighting. We will go over studio shots, as well as indoor/outdoor candid.
This meeting is not about "how" to use Photoshop, but rather the key areas to fix, that bring the most life back into the image. It's about the skills and techniques, not the tools. Of course Photoshop will be used to demonstrate, but its less about how, more about why.

It was a nice meeting. Next time can we have the quick how to's it is a great topic, lots of us know how to use the tools but are always looking for quick tips and how someone else does it. Also, love the idea of having meetings online, so some of us who can't make it can make it from home online. It was also great to meet new people. Thanks Scott for great organizing!
