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.

Used Oval Selection to just select upper body Created background with cloud filter Fixed spot on forehead with rubber stamp and brush tools. Touched up spots in hair Used pictures of a couple books and replaced what she was holding with those. Duplicated body layer and used brush tools with various samplings of facial color to smooth out picture grain. Changed opacity of the layer to blend better. Created new layer on top, filled with white and created a reverse vignette look. Duplicated white layer and used cloud filter again. Changed opacity to soften edges a bit more.

Great color. And the soft focus is good for a picture of a little girl. Reminds me of how you did the "girl and dog" picture. Adding the books makes it look sweet too...nice choice of titles! Do you have a little girl of your own by any chance?

Yes, I do have a little girl. I definitely like soft focus for little girls. Thanks for your comments.

denijo,
I love how you handled this one. By cropping her like that and softening her I think you gave her a very precious look. Excellent work.

The pink color really brings out the girls eyes.

Good idea to isolate the subject. And just the right books for a little girl to read.

Good work!
