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.

Photo Details
ninety9 Junior Member Registered: May 2006 Location: New Zealand Posts: 1 users gallery	A Whole lot of cloning!!(referencing detail from original) Its difficult to restore this one, without making it too 'painterly'. Replaced background, and parts of hair by overlaying new hair with an effect layer... 'lighten' if i recall correctly... I was working for a restoration company (Photowonder), until they made me redundant :*( A friend put me on to this site to satisfy my restoration needs hehe Comments and Questions are good

Very nicely done Ninety9.
Is this the same standard as you would have done for Photowonder?

hheh you must have been really bored to attempt this one !

This is an image befitting your name 99. Because thats what I would have done with it.

While I dont have a right to comment as I havent even attempted it myself, I would say the right side of her teeth still looks marked slightly. I love the detail you have put into the hair, but i think the edge is a touch sharp, and there is a bit of a halo around the top of her hair. heheh. But really overall its a vnice job. !

Great work Ninety9,
The dress looks terrific and your skin tones are great.

I wonder what restorers are paid in India and China.
10 cents an hour? I'd only have made 50 cents on this one.

Very good work Ninety9.

You've definitely captured the original look of her face. I could see it, but couldn't realistically recreate it.

Have to agree with sipolandis 'best of the lot'. Every square inch got quality attention and her 'look' is definately there. The only thing I can see that might be a little off is the shape of the face (forehead a bit broad, chin/jaw a little rounded). Excellent work.
