Portrait Retouching - 5

Often a tricky subject to get right. My approach is the ‘less is more’ method. By this, I mean do the minimum to get the maximum benefit.

I normally use Adobe’s LightRoom and PhotoShop to achieve what I want. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be an expert - I’m not!

Here is the sixth (even though its numbered 5!) and last of six video shorts (about 5 mins each, or less) showing a typical processing workflow I use to go from straight out of camera to a ‘you but on a good day’ look.

In this final part I’ll look at saving in PhotoShop, then some final tweaks in LightRoom and a side by side comparison: before and after.

Let me know if you have any questions and I’ll do my best to answer them 😃
