RetouchPRO LIVE "Beauty Masking" (rebroadcast)

[Doug Nelson]

This is a rebroadcast of our most recent show with Chris Tarantino. This is not about masking in general. Rather, it is about one specific masking technique professional retoucher Chris Tarantino has refined and perfected for use during his beauty retouching.

Fair warning: this is one of our more advanced shows.

Wednesday, October 21, 8pm CDT (see link below for other time zones)

Unfortunately I am committed during this show elsewhere but is it possible to view a recorded viewing of it?
Cheers,
Mandi

[Ken Weber]

I am stuck with a lousy dial-up internet connection, so watching these are out of the question. Could you release these on cd/dvd, perhaps as collections? Starting with basic Photoshop skills and progressing to more advanced stuff.

Just askin....

Doug...I'm in agreement with Mandi...can we do this one again...I want this one..but I'm out of town on Wed. A little more advanced notification helps on these...normally you do your rebroadcasts on Sat which is good for me...why not this time????

[Doug Nelson]

It will be rebroadcast again. Sat will be a live show this week.

I try to rebroadcast them on a different day/time than the live show, to be as inclusive as possible.

The only thing standing between us and on-demand viewing is volume, so spread the word.

Thanks for doing an asian friendly time. It's 9am Taipei time so would work for Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore... Brilliant!
I'll sign up. Thanks again.

I´m trying to subscribe but the browser gives-me a warning of Phishing ????

[Doug Nelson]

Has to be a false positive, I don't phish. But you can't be too careful, there are apps that can hide on your computer that turn even friendly links into phishing links. Just check the URLs in the browser before you submit any information.

[fryday]

Really really want to see this one but i can't make the re-broadcast. Is there any chance of buying it somehow? I dont want to miss out

[robertmccadden]

I just tried to register and pay for this a few times and had no luck. Is registration closed?

[thelamb]

Worked for me about an hour ago.

[Doug Nelson]

Registration is still open. Perhaps your popup blocker or other security software prevented the necessary redirects? Just a guess...

[robertmccadden]

Thanks, I called Paypal and got it worked out.

I was unable to send the money using the paypal link in the forum, so the paypal notification may come to you looking a bit different. I included the item# in the subject, so hopefully you will catch it.

It was a good rebroadcast on asian time.

A good solid technique for masking skin tones. I would love to see a skin retouching tutorial from chris or a re-broadcast of the Grys seminar at the same time schedule.

Good stuff!

[Janet Petty]

The rebroadcast was well worth viewing. My only wish is that it could have been the second time I viewed it. I learned so much that I'm sure that it all won't sink in even with copious notes and screen shots to supplement them.

It is a privilege to be taking these webinars. The beauty retouching ones are particularly interesting to me. Thank you ever so much.

[Amanda_Lauren]

Great techniques on beauty masking. I plan on trying to apply these as my job. I would have liked to have seen a more, in-depth/ complicated image for masking hair. I retouch for J.crew catalog and hair masking isn't so black and white as the image Chris demonstrated with.
As far as another webcast for beauty/skin retouching, I would absolutely love for him to do another session.
Thanks so much.

[Andrew Lawrence]

This was a great show!

I would love to see a show from Chris doing the skin retouching, I missed all of the first ones.

Also, I would like to see some application of more "creative" techniques to help develop a mood or feeling to the image by color manipulation (and not just simple color shifts but more complicated applications)

This show was on the more advanced level that I have been waiting for. I would like to see a lot more shows like these. I like seeing a lot of things that go over my head - it gets me excited and opens up an area of retouching that I can play around with trying to figure out.

I would love to see many more shows that go above and beyond the basic scratching of the surface of photoshop all the way to a very advanced level!

[jmgcg]

The show was fantastic.
It worth the time i spend wake to see it, here in Portugal started at 2 AM and finish 4 AM.
I already know some advanced mask techniques, but the one´s e show in the webinar was whow.
I hope to see more, and like Andrew said i´d like too see some techniques about skin retouching.

Thanks everyone.

I do have a lot more masking techniques that there was just not enough time to fit in due to complexity. If I crammed them all into one show more than likely I would rush through and leave way to many questions that would be unable to be answered.
I do have plans to show how to use Calculations, Highlight/Shadow, the custom filter and other ways to get very good masks. Not altogether though, of course.

Just let Doug know what you want and we will work something out.

[Janet Petty]

Although I use luminosity and shadow selections in post processing to pop color and things, I was so enthralled with the possibilities presented by this technique that I brought up a complex scenic I'd been having some trouble with. Not only was I able to correct the color imbalance in that part of the picture giving me fits; but I was able to denoise some of the shadow areas without affecting the rest of the picture. And all without a lot of tiresome painting and fiddling on hand created masks. I was able to maximize my time by doing the job in a fraction of the time it normally would have taken.

Thank you for releasing me from the worry this picture was giving me. I'm glad to now be able to take masking to new heights and expand my creative horizons.

Janet

[robertmccadden]

Great stuff; really enjoyed the seminar. One question for Chris: Is the selective color mask aproximating the vibrance filter in Lightroom when the colors are all at -100 and the neutrals, whites, and blacks at +100. Never thought that I would be thinking about things like this, but glad I am. Thanks,

Robert
