From optimizing tonality to removing distractions, this course offers a variety of techniques for enhancing environmental portraits. Teacher and photographer Chris Orwig begins this Portrait Project with a few fixes in Camera Raw, before jumping into Photoshop to clean, crop, and retouch the model and the environment around her. Then learn how to enhance the color and tone of the overall image, to achieve a bright, glowing look that picks up on the light and stone in the background. This project-based course will help you practice your retouching skills and give you ideas for pushing your environmental portraits further.
