The face is vital to broadcasting emotion and intent, but also beauty. Balancing these elements is at the heart of skillful retouching in Adobe Photoshop. Join Timothy Sexton, senior retoucher at New York's Gloss Studio, as he explains how to read faces before you retouch them and preserve the natural beauty and character of your subjects. Learn how to identify areas for selective enhancement, improve color and contrast, correct your model's posture, and use the Liquify, Patch, Clone Stamp, and Dodge and Burn tools correctly to soften or play up your model's features. Timothy also shares insights from his decades long career in high fashion photography.
