A sloppy collection of amazing retouch tutorials
Okay, so lately (and always) there have been so many requests like, "Retouching for beginners," and all that sort of thing. So I've decided to dig up all the tutorials that have helped me and taught me what I know today, which will hopefully come in handy for those photographers etc who are are always looking to learn retouching, and the beginner photoshop wiz's. I tried to make sure they are only top quality. Okay so I've tried to put a kind of brief description next to all of these, but believe me, they're all pretty good. VIDEOS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0IrnjfCgPQ - Thankyou Sean R Baker! Explains the inverted high pass technique, always good. I personally tend not to move the contrast down, and I use a higher radius for the high pass, ie. 21 for high pass and 7 for the blur. Each to his own. http://www.digitalphotoshopretouching.c … ir-retouch - a brief hair retouching tutorial thanks to natalia, this has to be a pretty good one, one of the few view-worthy free hair tuts out there. http://vimeo.com/14344363 - this one's alright, it does however involve the use of portraiture, which is fine, but some mightn't appreciate that. Apart from that, it has some useful info in it. http://vimeo.com/14381588 - a dodge and burn video tutorial, haven't watched the whole thing but seems pretty good from what I have. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CjhltYe7pM - a REALLY amazing excerpt from natalia's dvd which shows another example of the high pass technique, love this. OTHERS An awesome dodge and burn tutorial from Nienna here: Part 1- http://nienna1990.deviantart.com/art/Do … -101369803 Part 2 - http://nienna1990.deviantart.com/art/Do … 6962&qo=20 http://everythingsmagic.deviantart.com/ … -124450837 - another dodge and burn tutorial from everythingsmagic http://nienna1990.deviantart.com/galler … 3#/d1r92cq - another one from nienna, this time it also comes with a layered psd file for your pleasure  Okay, so those are all for now. Enjoy, and I hope you find these useful! Also, I didn't make any of these. Just collected 'em and put 'em here. Jan 01 11 04:31 pm Link thanks so much! I just got CS5 and I want to learn so badly! Thanks again!
