In this class, I step through finishing a portrait from start to finish.

Assessing the image and cleaning the background using the Adobe Camera RAW Filter, Smart Objects, Box Blur and Adding Grain. We also talk about Selections, Layers and Masks
Retouching hair using Spot Healing Brush, Healing Brush and Clone Stamp tools
Removing skin blemishes using Spot Healing Brush, Healing Brush and Clone Stamp tools
Reduce skin redness using Hue / Saturation Adjustment layer and masks
Selective Dodge & Burn (Lighten & Darken) retouching using Curves Adjustment layers and masks
Simple technique for enhancing eyes using Unsharp Mask and Smart Object layers
Adding a background texture using Selections, Masks and Blending Modes
Using the Liquify filter to subtle change hair shape and pose outline
THE fastest way I have ever worked out for adding an awesome vignette!
Final finish using DXO Optic's NIK Color Efex Pro 2
Each stage is self-contained and I talk through exactly what I am doing and (more importantly) why!

I cannot wait to see what you create!
