| | | Re: High End Retouching = not.... Obviously not if you look at my work. Mentioned it because there is still many on here (and everywhere) that believe that is the route to go...and are shown these different methods from online tuts. that involve blurring, so should maybe re-think what tuts. to follow. |

| | | Re: High End Retouching = not.... okay...but for the record, if you were to actually read a good deal of the threads/posts here, blurring is not encouraged so your revelation is not a new one...just saying'
you come across like you discovered something new...lol
...and i did look at your work and while you have some non-blurred work, you also have a great deal of what appears to be blurred work...it all depends on what the client wants. |

| | | Re: High End Retouching = not.... nothing new again and it's a shame you're seeing blurry since I've never blurred any of that work. (GIF animations decrease image quality, btw.) |

| | | Re: High End Retouching = not.... I have one that i recently got through with, I could have done way more, but it wouldn't have been worth the extra time. I will try to post a new thread to show everyone what not to do when photographing people, and also that getting it right in camera is important for the work on the back end. |

| | | Re: High End Retouching = not.... I think that the point is that you need both. Having only one half of the mixture is only a half rate job most days. Even worse when blur and bad photography get in the mix. Unfortunately sometimes the good photographers/ retouchers have bad days. And then sometimes there has to be compensation on one persons end. |

The PROPER tutorial to follow is where?
Your tutorial on how to do it correctly is where?
I think the answer to both of these questions = You should make a tutorial and post it!
I would be interested.. |

| | | Re: High End Retouching = not.... I agree, but with most things it comes down to how time, experience, and research. With a bit of hard work to boot. This website has made my retouching grow by leaps and bounds in a short time. There is still much to learn. But there has to be a willingness to learn and motivation to try. For without those qualities it falls on deaf ears. In addition, most of those proper tutorials can be found in the tutorial section of this website. There becomes the revelation for many, "there is no quick-fix, just time and attention". I posted a new thread that deals with that. "A whole lot of time and trouble", it can be found in the photo retouching forum. Maybe not too educational, but deals with an image that sometimes you wish you had a quick-fix for. |
