Hey all.

Last week one of my tutorials went live on the PIMA site.

Although I have written about the Liquify subject on the Retouchpro forum in the past, the pdf there is a more in depth and visual experience.

I will be posting new Tutorials/Tips there every 3 months, rotating with some other Photoshop Authors/Users. There are a number of very good tips there from the last 2 years or so to check out.

Loud and very audible from at least 50 feet away.

Quite amusing really and at the same time quite a eye opener for me. You see, most of the class were already involved with what they called "Hi End Beauty Retouching" or were Photographers in the industry. Their response took me by as much surprise s the images did...

Recently I was working on an image for a client. I was doing my normal everyday skin work to some models who had devastating skin. As I was working, a question that a attendee to my Las Vegas retouching class asked popped into my mind.

How do you know when to much has been done? Is there ever a clear way to know when to stop retouching an image?
