Hello doug,
The time is 23:00 in france and as it will take 2 hours, this will finish at 1. Do you plan a "redo" of this session of chris tarantino ?

Second point, if i try the seesion, at this time i will have only a 2 mb internet connexion. do you know if it will be enough ?

Thierry

[Doug Nelson]

Virtually all shows are rebroadcast.

2mb is under the recommended minimum, it probably wouldn't be a smooth view.

[public1988]

It would be be nice to know what exactly will be covered in this lecture!

Thanks

Sebastian

I have purchased a ticket and filled in the registration form, but still hadn't got the mail with the link. Is that all right or did my ticket get lost?

[Doug Nelson]

Tickets are processed manually, so they can take awhile if I'm asleep. You should have it by now.

[Doug Nelson]

The ticket sales link will close in 2 hours.

Thanks for another excellent webinar. Being able to watch Christ as he works is such a treat! One idea for a future webinar with Chris would be to have hiim extrapolate on the ending lipstick color treatment using a gradient mask. I have clients ask for this, and I'm always looking for NATURAL ways to change/enhance color of makeup such as lipstick and eye shadow. His technique using a shadow mask seems to be the way to go... a further example in a future webinar would be useful at least for me. Thanks again for another great webinar!

[Gadro]

Hi! I agree with fasttrax - great webinar, and it would be excellent to see colour change for eyeshadow, lipstick, etc. Cheers, and thanks very much.

[Blodgrape]

Great webinar. Due to technical probs. probably ISP i missed the whole lipfix-part 4-5 minutes or so, which irritates me. And I agree that Cosmetic retouch would be interresting in a future webinar.

[doctorontop]

Thanks to Chris & Doug another good show

[peter king]

As always very usefull. I also had some audio problems near the end and missed part of the eye work.

[stefan0n]

very useful to me too, also if it was second time with Tarantino. in future I suggest less time to skin 'peeling' (more than one our) and more time spent describing the other steps with more examples. thank you.

[Janet Petty]

Superb Webinar. I catch more each time I watch; and things make more sense each time as well.

I really like the techniques used in the skin retouching. I do have to admit to using them on some scenic shots I had troubles with. The techniques worked perfectly; and I was able to salvage a picture I thought good only for the regret pile.

Another great webinar!
It was very enjoyable to watch and quite informative as usual. I can say that those two hours flew pretty fast.
As fasttrax said, some cosmetics techniques along with an expanded topic on hair, as Chris Tarantino suggested, would be a great idea for future webinars.

[eos]

Thanks to Chris for doing another captivating webinar.

I would really like to see a show that focuses on the features of the face e.g. how to create realistic eyelashes, shaping the nose, shaping the eyebrows, enhancing the eyes, shaping the mouth, all the while keeping the look natural.

Also a show on how to apply makeup when the client just plain doesn't like what the makeup artist did or when the makeup needs help.

Another show I would love to see is on different color treatments of image. A lot of clients want something a little more edgy than a straight shot. Thanks again.

Great job on the webinar. Chris has such a refined way of working it quite a joy to witness. Id like to mention 2 things that really irritated me during this seminar.

First of all, as much as I appreciate Doug's enthusiasm, I really wish he wouldnt constantly cut-off the speaker mid sentence..

Secondly and even more annoying is the fact that some of the viewers felt the need to share their personal taste on the way the image was shot, cropped, or retouched... Common, this is Chris creative vision and workflow and thats what I paid to witness.. not some random person's opinion on these things.

Otherwise, Chris is amazing, and thanks Doug for creating these wonderful seminars.

Believe it or not, I use a lot of the same techniques on automobiles, jewelry, and clothing that I do on skin.
So there is really no right or wrong, just whether they work for you or not.

[Freya]

I really enjoyed last night's show too! To add up to the requests which have already been made, which I find very interesting, I would love a show with Chris covering softproofing, prepress... That would be fantastic!

[adsmithtx]

Would like to see him do the hair replacement, eye enhancement, eye brows, eve lashes, and makeup

[adsmithtx]

Would like to see a show on hair replacement, eye enhancement, eyebrows, eyelashes, and makeup color change&addition.

[adsmithtx]

it was a great webinar, enjoyed it.

[dweekley]

Thumbs up on another great webinar from Chris. Always interesting and informative. Thanks for taking your time to share with us Chris!

[Cyberek]

Chris, i have one question. I had video problems in one part of webinar and lost one (in my opinion important) thing. You have created the OA CC folder (in oryginal file), and make there a curves adjustement layer to make the whole picture darker, and also on the same layer you have clipped blues a little bit.... and after that i lose the video. You have made something with green and red channel, what was the purpose. What was other 3 layers and theirs purpose?

In advance thanks for answer.

[Isedo]

This one was great!

I'll try to answer to Cyberek. Chris just used these curves layer to give some tone to the image and if I don't remeber bad, to light a little bit the hairs.

Mine request is to see a webinar where Chris kindly talk about the pre-press production of the photos. My main problem is that my photos are great on the screen but onec printed they are to dark and not really nice like on my screen. It'd be nice to learn somethink about pre-press from Photoshop.
Thanks Chris and Doug for this webinar.

Hi, Chris said he has an autosave software that makes Photoshop save file every 2 minutes, can we know the name please?

[skauskas]

Great webinar Chris! Looking forward to a book.


Totally support pre-press production webinar. May be it will not be as much fun as retouching itself (as for me) but it's really needed part of retouching.
