Adobe Photoshop CS6 Review

Adobe Photoshop is used by MANY different industries; Graphic Designers, Video Editors, 3D Rendering, Photographers, and Professional Retoucher. This Adobe Photoshop CS6 Review is from the point of view of the Professional Retoucher. My needs are based solely on taking an image from Camera RAW, to a Printable High Quality Image. I am interested in making the Retouching easier and faster, while not making it Automated. I need to stay in complete control.

As a Professional Retoucher, I have very specific needs. Unfortunately, Adobe continues to make a single product for everyone. As I have said for many years, I desperately wish they created separate product divisions. Personally, I have no need for video editing tools, or 3D rendering. I have no need for Automated this, and Computer controlled that. "Hands Off" Retouching is what Elements is for, the beginner. I want Professional tools that allow me to do Professional Retouching. No more, no less.

Corel AfterShot Pro Review

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 11 minutes

This is a video Corel AfterShot Pro Review. Use Corel Aftershot Coupon Code "ARTCOREL10" for 10% Off – Links.TheArtofRetouching.com/aftershot - I want to start this review by saying that this product took me by surprise. I was expecting something that was mediocre, and I instantly fell in love with all the powerful features build right into the software. You may be thinking that I am just trying to pitch Corel AfterShot Pro to you, but I am quite serious, I genuinely love this program, and I would use it in my own studio as well. Sadly, I had already spent $600 on a competitor's solution.

Corel AfterShot Pro competantly joins together Image Cataloging Software, with a RAW Processor. This means you can keep track of thousands of images (I have over 20,000 myself), and make quick Color Correction edits without the need for any other software. Everything I could think that I wanted to do, was built right into the software. Check out the video, and the rest of the review below.

And even then, because all the content is inter-mixed, much of the most important information is being repeated several times.
