A Really Long Retouching Video Using Lightroom & Photoshop

Before

After

Hi, welcome to my blog. Today I offer one of the last retouching videos that I plan to offer here. They take a long time to make, the take a long time to watch. They are very boring and because there are so many ways to retouch, I could never dream to cover everything. Over the last few days, I covered how you can use Lightroom only to retouch, then I showed you a Photoshop only retouch. In this last video (below), I combine both programs to do a complete retouch.

I use both programs together all the time, as a matter of fact I would be lost without both. In the video, I show you from start to finish a ton of tricks in between. The video is very long, just under 40 minutes in length, so you might want to watch in in a couple of sessions so you can absorb it all. The video covers just about everything you need to know in order to complete any basic retouch.

I do have and use some very advanced retouching information that I have not covered in any of the videos that I have posted so far, but they are pretty complex and take even more time to cover, even than what I have already offered you. If you are interested in those videos, you will have to ask specifically. I am not sure most of you are interested in that sort of stuff.

Please use these videos as a guide, revisit them until you have this stuff down cold. It has taken me years to learn this stuff, so don’t expect to know it all in a few minutes watching a video. You will have to apply this stuff to get good at it, so practice, practice, practice. One last note, you can save a ton of retouching if you have a great hair and makeup artist, something I have yet to find.

Enjoy the video, I hope you all have a great day, and tomorrow I hope to have a lighting topic up. Sincerely, Thomas Shue
