Hey fellow Retouchers you know we have all heard of what to do and what not to do when retouching.....I personally try to always stay away from the don'ts

All in fun and learning
Post your Do's or Don't
Great website to see alot of don'ts

Haha. Reminds me of the kind of work that models always ask for but no respectable photographer would want. If they did, they would have taken the photo in a different style and clothes in the first place.

I don't really have many do's and dont's to share since there are a million ways to do something and some clients will like a particular effect we all think is a pile of crap. It does bug me when I see retouchers use blur on the whole image in an attempt to even out the skin. Cringe worthy. Oh, and do NOT stretch out or smash an entire image in an attempt to get someone to look thinner. Believe it or not, I've seen that done before and it just makes me sigh.

Edit: That website is hilarious.
