Howdy all. My name is Ray Lloyd. I'm new here on RetouchPro.

I am a photographer, my business website: www.raylloydphoto.com

I am fairly good with retouching, but am always looking for seminars or classes to improve my skills, particularly with layers, masks, selections, and the more esoteric uses for photography.

Does anyone know of any good seminars, training classes, etc in the Chicago area? Money is basically no object.

I took a class a couple years ago at Shoot Smarter University when Will Crockett was still putting on classes at his now closed Aurora studio. It was all hands on, taught by Suzette Allen.

You can also e-mail me directly at raylloydphoto@sbcglobal.net

Thanks, and I am going to have fun with this site!

well, if money is no problem, i'd be happy to move to chicago and fake something up ;) :)

and welcome to RetouchPRO :)
