Hope you enjoy my first video

This is not a Tutorial, just a look over my shoulder.

Have Fun

Re: Video Beauty Retouch

Thanks for sharing, what a treat! Though its not a tutorial I did pick up a few new tricks (how to transfer texture to another area of a photo - smacked my head when I saw that one - why didn't I think of that).

It's also interesting to see the order that people approach things, you like to start off toward the beginning with a color balance adjustment and I usually do that as one of my last steps.

I also found it interesting that you seem to do your work all on one layer for the most part (except the d&b stuff). I guess with experience you kind of don't need masses of layers so that you can go back and redo or fix what you've already done.

Thanks again!

Re: Video Beauty Retouch

pretty amazing to watch! how long did that take in real time?
I think the movie would be a great tutorial in itself in real time, any interest in selling a dvd of that in real time?

That's Awesome. You don't happen to have a larger version that's real time do you? There are a couple of things I'd like to see more on. The lips and skin texture in particular.

Take care,
Jim

Natalia, Thanks for the visual treat
Me too would like to see the video at normal speed as I am not able to catch up with many of the techniques used (yes I am a newbie). Hope you will post one very soon.

Hey.. I did say this was not a tutorial...

Do you ppl really think there's a market for something like this on DVD? my english sucks, so I could never do it my self, but maybe some could do it for me.

but... is it worth it?

Re: Video Beauty Retouch

hey, godm...I would buy a dvd or a movieclip if you narrow the retouching categories down, to what you do in the picture here,,,

I'm interested in the lip retouching, and adding glow...even the color mastering...

this is a nice way to go...to start real retouching movieclips that people can buy for a buck or few

I'll buy it without any narration, just a high quality real time version.

I'm 25 years old, that's true (Untill december 3th, I expect lots of gifts )

I have a 2 and a half Years old boy, when I got pregnant I didn't have much more to do... so there goes 9 month of TOTAL PRACTICE and learning. No job, no school, just Photoshop and internet.

Practie makes all the diference.

Re: Video Beauty Retouch

Did you have any photography/art/painting experience before you started retouching, Natalia?

(and your video is really awesome )

Re: Video Beauty Retouch

Well... I'm an adverstiser (That was my major in the uni) and I took 2 years of Graphic Design in the UBA (University of Buenos Aires). When I met photoshop I loved it and started doing www.worth1000.com contest (even won a few ) and then I met retouch pro... and haven't done much else but retouching since.

thanks... you are all making me feel like a famous person jajaja

Have a nice day

Oh.... I forgot... I love drawing... by hand I mean... but don't have a wacom yet... saving for one

Re: Video Beauty Retouch

I would say if there was a video out there to teach me some of the skills that you have, I would be more then glad to purchase it. Your work imho is the best that I have seen so far. If I get to a tenth of your skill level, I would be happy.

I'm sure if you could burn some dvds of that video you would have enough for a tablet in no time.

You can consider also pay-for-download version

Re: Video Beauty Retouch

i don't think you even need narration, just a full size version in real time. You will sell more copies if you just have a pay-per-download as people usually want something straight away, but maybe offer a dvd as well, just up the price to cover your costs. PayPal is very easy to set up and use.
