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.

I used Healing brush and clone tool on blemishes and some scratches. Used adjustment layer-levels to bring out contrast. Clone and darken/lighten brush on damaged eye. Also some "hand" drawing to fix eye. Selected background, add some to top, did a fade from left to right to bring out contrast. That also helped with the right ear. Adjustment layer: Brightness/Contrast on whole pic Tried to airbrush some depth into the left arm area. I didn't want to mess with the texture of the photo.

Your bg treatment makes a huge improvement on this photo, and is one of the few that doesn't fall short around the shoulder straps. The care you took in preserving the texture really gives this restoration alot of character. Very well done.

You did a really nice job of repairing the creases but keeping a natural old look and
retaining the character and charm.
Nice job.

I like how you kept the over all texture. It really retains the old photo look.

this is a beautiful restore. to me, it's perfect. i like that you concentrated on simply fixing it back to the way it was originally, rather than making adjustments that would change it from what it was.
