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.

Helpful advice is more than welcome. After work the colors by creating mask for Dress, tree, walls, carpet,rug, and Mom. Then adjusted Hue/Saturation. Created mask for her arms and face, created new layer, then bluured and set opacity down. Cropped, then expanded canvas size to give border found in most older photos. I did not have as much time to play with as i would have liked. Maybe 1 hour. (1 Late hour) Anyway. Let me know!

1 hr ! unbeleivable. But looks really nice. I don't have any great suggestions, but you could reduce the brightness of mom a little and also sharpen the image.
