Join us for the Advanced Editing Portraits in Adobe Photoshop event! Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, this hands-on workshop will take your photo editing skills to the next level. Learn how to master advanced techniques in Photoshop to enhance your portraits and make them truly stand out. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the process step by step, so you can leave with the confidence to tackle any editing challenge. Don't miss out on this opportunity to elevate your editing game!

Unlock the power of Adobe Photoshop to transform your portraits into professional-quality masterpieces. In this hands-on class, you'll learn the essential techniques and advanced tools used by photographers and retouchers to enhance and perfect portrait images. We begin by covering skin retouching, blemish removal, and skin tone matching. Then we will move on to fixing irregular teeth, brightening eyes, adding hair highlights, and even altering the color of outfits.

But we’re not done yet. We will learn to blur the background for better composition. And then we will tackle compositing subjects into an entirely new photograph. You will learn to place a subject in a new image, create their shadow, and color grade them to match the environment.

What You’ll Learn:

● Fundamentals of non-destructive editing and layer management

● Skin retouching techniques using frequency separation and healing tools

● Dodge and burn methods to sculpt facial features

● Color correction, tone adjustments, and enhancing natural skin tones

● Eye, teeth, and hair enhancement for sharp, polished details

● Background clean-up and subtle compositing tricks

● Compositing subjects into new images

Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with Photoshop is recommended but not required.

*This is a HYBRID seminar. We will be hosting LIVE in our Classroom in Boulder but we will also be streaming it LIVE online for those who live further away.
