Announcing RetouchPRO Concentrate

I'm pleased to announce a new type of video program from RetouchPRO. It's called "RetouchPRO Concentrate" and each video will have a single presenter concentrating on a single topic. These videos will be shorter than the RetouchPRO LIVE shows, but more densely-packed with information, and also considerably less expensive ($3 for a 3-day rental).

As with RetouchPRO LIVE, the emphasis will be on showing high-end techniques suitable for commercial work. However, these shows will not share RP LIVE's chatty, informal feel and audience participation. RetouchPRO Concentrate will be a concentrated infodump that will have you frequently pausing and rewinding.

Our premier offering is "Andrew Rodney Concentrates on Display Calibration". It is a very deep dive into every aspect of precision calibration for your monitor, a must for professional-level work.

You did a great job creating a realistic color scheme. I especially like your choice for background colors...it works great with the portrait and I like how her hair isn't a solid color, but has hints of warm tones where the lights hit it. Very nicely done! Care to share a little of your technique?

Thanks. The technique I used can be found here:

It takes a little practice, but I really think it gives better results.

Vikki:

Absolutely great job!. The colors were well chosen and the coloration is as real as it gets. I can see a number of dfferent colors making up her skin, just like what one sees in real life. It' so well done, that it looks like you turned a color photo grayscale, not the other way around.

I started practicing the technique, but I'll need to get a lot more practice before I can make it look life-like.

hi vikki:-)

I really love your work.
i read the tutorial about this technique but i don't understand the purpose of the grey filled masks and coloring of layers... i think i could never do this alone;-). can you explain to me, why this technique is so unique and why you appreciate it so much? thank you in advance! i hope to see a lot more of your work.

many regards,
tanja
