Announcing RetouchPRO Concentrate

I'm pleased to announce a new type of video program from RetouchPRO. It's called "RetouchPRO Concentrate" and each video will have a single presenter concentrating on a single topic. These videos will be shorter than the RetouchPRO LIVE shows, but more densely-packed with information, and also considerably less expensive ($3 for a 3-day rental).

As with RetouchPRO LIVE, the emphasis will be on showing high-end techniques suitable for commercial work. However, these shows will not share RP LIVE's chatty, informal feel and audience participation. RetouchPRO Concentrate will be a concentrated infodump that will have you frequently pausing and rewinding.

Our premier offering is "Andrew Rodney Concentrates on Display Calibration". It is a very deep dive into every aspect of precision calibration for your monitor, a must for professional-level work.

Separated flower, repeated flower on black background, making larger and rotating while changing colors a bit, then added orange gradient. Brushed lightly with smudge tool and spatter brush to get a hint of brushstrokes, then sharpened with KPT6 equalizer to bring back some roughness/texture. Phyllis

O'Keeffe did do a lot of stuff like this. The lily in the front looks a little stark... it might have helped to add a a slight drop shadow behind it to make it a little darker... otherwise excellent.

Phyliss what can I say but you out did yourself, super job. I think she was stark in what she did at least what I saw of her work.

Very rythmic, balancing and outstanding also.
