RetouchPRO LIVE with Amy Dresser "Surprise"

[Doug Nelson]

The feedback on our last RetouchPRO LIVE "Surprise" show was outstanding. Now it's Amy Dresser's turn to be surprised.

Watch live via your browser as professional retoucher Amy Dresser performs a beauty retouch on an image she'll see for the very first time at the same time you do.

I'll send her the raw file only after the show starts. Amy will analyse, plan, and execute while you watch, providing a unique and valuable glimpse into the mind of a pro retoucher's process truly from beginning-to-end.

Saturday, January 16, 4pm CST (see link below for other time zones)

No one has asked, but in case anyone was wondering: the image Amy will be working on is completely different from the images used in any of the surprise shows for other presenters (yes, that's plural, there's more of these to come).

[george_zakharov]

I hope the image will be some sort of a challenge.
Looking forward for the Live cast.

Hi.

I Use the internet through a Cellular Data card and pay per megabyte tranfered, can anyone tell me what bandwidth this show will use and about how many megabytes i will be downloading, I really want to watch these shows but not if it worth my while if it will cost to much on my side.

[d00dle]

sweet if u can do the same on the banner/ads, would be great! see u there!

[Doug Nelson]

Graham: It's not downloaded in the traditional sense, but it will be over 2 hours long and is higher rez than HD. You seriously do not want to pay per mb to watch this. Find someplace with wifi or use a library computer.

I've heard a lot about Amy and have missed her previous Webinars on account of not having discovered and signed up on this website yet. So I am really looking forward to watching her work. Really enjoyed Carrie's session last Saturday. Thanks Doug. Please keep them comin'!

[Doug Nelson]

I suspect I unnecessarily confused quite a few people with this show having the same "theme" as the last one (and made things worse by using the same placeholder image at first). If you have friends you know are Amy fans, please help to make sure they know this is a live Amy show, not a rebroadcast of any other show.

Doug,

Is this a female beauty retouch? Give us a hint at least.

[Doug Nelson]

Yes it is a woman, you'd be amazed how hard it is to get male pix.

[igas]

email received and sorry about the obvious first question.

[erikhatt]

[contemporaneous]

My compliments to Amy Dresser on a job well done. It was a pleasure having a candid insight into your workflow.

[e3kphoto]

awesome....

[d00dle]

love the show!!! highly recommended nice to see her tackle some eyes and hair this time around.

[lmax]

I thoroughly enjoyed Amy Dresser. I have never posted although this is my third webinar in the past month. I'm a portrait photographer and use very simplistic methods to retouch. I feel the webinars are taking me to a whole new level quickly. Thank you for a fabulous learning experience.

[Fog]

Thanks Amy! Great to see your process and your intuition for addressing color adjustments. Learned a lot today.

Hi Doug and Amy

Doug thanks for hosting this surprise webinar and I think these will be a big hit as its is really interesting listening to someone like Amy talking there way through and image they haven’t seen before.

I think the surprise aspect of the image really helps us get an idea of how someone like Amy thinks as they move through the image.

To Amy I would like to say a big thank you for a very informative 2.5 hours, even if it was 2.30am here when it finished (Doug, any chance these could start a little earlier?).

I have always worked with global adjustments and large selections thinking that these would help keep continuity but it was fascinating to see how Amy’s small nibbles and non committal brushes really built up to create a fantastic result.

[Cornellison]

I put my vote in for a rebroadcast. I was very disappointed to miss it.

[DesignBuddy]

Thanks Amy, enjoyed watching your workflow. For some reason the webinar doesn't like my computer and decided to crash it twice so I missed a small part of the show. It would be nice if RetouchPro offered a rebroadcast or some way to review the video for paying viewers.

I did have one question for Amy that I don't believe was asked during the show. What is your reasoning for toning down the highlights on the face only to add them back with your painted white layer later on?

[Blodgrape]

I also put my vote in for a rebroadcast.
I was also very disappointed to miss it.
