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 then used levels and curves to bring out contrast and details. I copied the layer and ran a high pass filter over it, and then I used the overlay mode to sharpen some of details. I adjusted the opacity until it looked right and then merged the layers. 3. I used the burn and dodge tool to continue to bring out detail, and then I added some noise. 4. I love the look of vintage photos, but I thought that this image would look nice with some soft color. I made some layers in color mode and colored each area, adjusting each as I went along. Cathy

Very good restoration work Cathy,
The original was a small grainy and blurred photo.
Enlarging makes matters worse, but you have done a great
job giving it a clean and sharp appearance.
Especially like the colors on the brick wall. I botched that.

Cathy, Nice touch with the subtle color. I especially like the colorization of the brick, it looks really natural to me. Well done. :up:
