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.

Hi there. I am not one to talk, because I haven't attempted the challenge yet. but, My opinion, it is a little too much. It is too much Smoothing. Eyes are PERFECT dude! kin color is a teensy bit too orange, You can counteract the orange by adding some pink blush to her. Not so it is 'obvious' but a gentle application. And I like the lip color, your white shading is great, you could have used a teeensy bit more. AND I like it because you don't have an obvious TIGHT line on the lips. (lik a BUNCH of the other photos!) AND I like the fact that you listed all of your steps that the majority of folks DIDN't Do.

OH one more thing.

You may want to ad a little bit more contrast, or limit the 'foggy' aspect of it. It needs to be a bit sharper all around. If you don't want to do that all over, then you can sharpen the nose a bit.

I am going to try now.. Im scared! lol

good job dude!!

reall great.
