There has been some great work by a lot of the retouchers on here, so I figured I'd open up this thread for those awesome retouchers that want to share some PSD example files, and discuss them.

Best Wishes,
Jason

Why is it that you need to see PSD's specifically? Again, files are huge.

Layers used.

If your retouching structure has (for example) a liposuction layer, a skin cleanup layer or three (using different techniques for each), a sky replacement layer, an eye 'pop' layer, a contour layer, a vignette layer, a color tweak layer, a contrast tuning layer, and others, it's hard to describe just what is happening without seeing the layers.

Fortunately, in many cases, reducing the resolution of the file for instructional purposes has minimal impact on the educational benefits.
