Photoshop Retouching Newsletter September 5, 2014

September 5, 2014 by John Ross

Today, you can purchase Advanced Photoshop Magazine #126. I am quite excited because I have a 5 page feature article in there that I wrote, and of course retouched and composited.

If you would like to watch a Behind the Scenes video of how I created the image for the magazine, you can check it out here:

You can also purchase a digital copy of the magazine here:

Behind the Retouching
A few weeks ago, I had started releasing a new video series, Behind the Retouching. I have been doing some image reviews for my students, where I show them what they may have done wrong in their own retouching. More importantly, I show how they can correct their mistakes, as I work on the same images to teach them. So far, this has been a highly successful venture, and I plan on continuing to do them.

Gritty, Grungy Retouching in Photoshop
While I had never seen this guy before. I am shocked, because as I wander around his website, he has a million products and videos, so it’s clear he has been around for a while. I thought he had a fairly clean training approach. He uses tools that I do not, like Topaz and Nik for filter effects. I figure, if you get the look you want, then why not?

A Dynamic Poster
There are so many different things going on here, I don’t even know where to begin. Let’s take several custom brushes, mush together many random things, and end with something fairly interesting. Yeah, that about sums it up. While not my usual posting, there was something about all the various steps involved that I appreciated.

Create Waves with Mixer Brush
This one sounds a bit silly. I know you want to skip it. I beg you not to. This video gets very complicated, very fast. I love videos like this as it uses tools and techniques outside of the normal workflow. In fact, it was making me focus while trying to follow along. If you know me, it takes a lot to get my attention. This video had it. I really liked it.

Photoshop Transformation
Ok, this is HORRIBLE in every possible way. But, I was simply mesmerized by this video. It’s borderline Not Safe for Work. He uses liquify to…. well, just watch the video. I include it here, because the skill level, and cajones to even attempt this, is mystifying to me.

Lightroom Basics Class
I was asked to host a Basic Lightroom Class, and show how it can be used with a Reliable Workflow. This request makes sense, as Lightroom is included with the Photographer’s Photoshop Plan from Adobe. So, I will be hosting a very focused, best practices class on organizing and retouching images using Lightroom. It will be as simple and direct as I can make it. Starts 11:30am EST, following the Retouching Basics Class (Above).
