beginning your journey into the professional
Beauty & Portrait
photography retouching world. You don't need to waste your time learning
all
the tools and panels Photoshop has to offer, if you only want to

retouching skills.
Our eBook will help you to get a clear understanding
as to what tools you need to be familiar with,
and what to do with them
to turn your photographs into works of art. In just three lessons you
will
know all the necessary panels, tools, functions and essential
photography and retouching
information to prepare you to dive into the

Moreover, you will learn how to fine-tune your
Photoshop for peak performance, how to read and

you need to know about color management, how to use custom brushes
for
Beauty and Portrait photography, what essential keyboard shortcuts you
need to know, and a
lot more. A few video tutorials will demonstrate the
difference between Photoshop retouching
tools, the trickiest Blending
Modes and Adjustment Layers concepts, and explain what's so great
about
Layers and Layer Masks and more.

WHY YOU NEED THIS EBOOK EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU ALREADY KNOW
PHOTOSHOP?
You don't know what you don't know. Even if you have been
working in Photoshop for a couple
of years you may still be lacking some
knowledge that will lead you to that break through in your retouching.
From my own teaching experience I know that a lot of photographers say:
"Oh, I know
all the essentials - I've been doing it for 2-3 years!" And
when we get down to the advanced part
of the course, I realize that they
don't know what Layer Masks are, never used the Free Transform
tool or
some of the Blending Modes, have no idea how to set target color in the
Curves Adjustment
layer or never heard of other essential things like
that. After reading this eBook you will have a
clear understanding as to
what tools you need to be familiar with, and if you are not yet, than
you
should practice working with them before you begin to learn Advanced
retouching techniques.
Essentials are super important, and any
professional retoucher will tell you that.

to become a Beauty retouching wizard.
