maybe it would be better to say favourite retouching style...

why no responses??

[Dave.Cox]

I don't personally have a favorite technique. It depends on what needs to be done.

[pellepiano]

Im very fond of Jill Greenbergs retouch ( www.manipulator.com ).

[mileeeeeeenaaaa]

so is that it?
no one else has anything to share?

why no responses??

i love muted colors style...like Annie Leibovitz, Joey Lawrence, etc.
i love Amy Dresser style...
i love Loretta Lux style...
still working for my own style..

[Nasturtium]

I'm still trying to find my 'voice' in Photoshop but the Quick and Beautiful technique from DGrin is probably my favorite.

But I also learned an awful lot from the Stuff You can Do With Clouds thread.

[Gee]

yeah i really like the work on the tones made by Leibovitz.
really wicked.

[mileeeeeeenaaaa]

i too am trying to find my own style.
yet to find it.

how would you go about making your own style?
(that sounds awfully noob-ish but i am curious...)

You need a vision ( able to see it in your head ) and time to practice, or hope for a lucky accident =) ( thats where many good things happen ).

[andyong]

Practice everyday, trying something different..hopefully found something that different yet you like it very much...

[mileeeeeeenaaaa]

but isnt threre already a very high possibility that someone else has had the same 'vision' ? i could make a couple of adjustment layers and stuff, and develop my own style, but then someone else could turn around and say, you copied this from me.. blash blah blah

[pellepiano]

So you dont want to develop your own style because you can be accused of stealing it ?

As there are more people than styles its only natural that many people will develop similar styles.

i would love to have my own style, dont get me wrong
im just saying
there is just that side of the story as well.
