I was laid off of work and having a hard time fining a job. I was thinking about trying to fnd work as a retoucher. What would be the best way in doing so? I'm a portrait photographer and do my own retouching but can use some additional training. Would I stand a better chance if I went to an Adobe Certified class or does the training matter if the retouched photos look the same as if I was self taught? What do companies look for in a retoucher? My area doesn't have any companies that I can think of but if I could find something that I can do from home that would be great! I have a new IMac, Photoshop CS5 Extended, Lightroom 3, Nik Software Plugins,Aperture, Wacom Intous 4 Tablet and a 2TB External Hard Drive. Just curios if this is something even worth trying to get into. I plan on traveling back and forth to Miami for photo shoots too.

Re: Retoucher Job Market
Ditch the Imac... If you are doing serious color work. It won't hack it!
Stick with what you know, contact other portrait photographers and offer your services.
It is a big difference between that and the advertising world. Do what you know.
Forget all the adobe certified classes.... If you want to do serious retouching, find a serious retoucher with a good folio to help/train you.
