Portrait Retouching


I have a lot people ask me how I retouch images in Photoshop. My answer is generally, "it depends on the image". The methods and choices are varied. Typically I'll get half way through an explanation when the person that asked the question has their eyes glaze over. Everyone wants a magic solution (three clicks or less). Typically it's far more complicated. Clients sometimes don't understand how much time can go into doing a quality retouch.
Chisty Schuler has some serious skills. Check out her website http://www.christyschuler.com/retouching.swf . Specifically check out her video tutorials. They are great step by step explanations of some common Photoshop techniques.
