Mission, Style and Branding

April 26, 2013 by John Ross

I am frequently asked about how to move the "Personal Brand" forward. Previously, I wrote about How to Find Retouching Work, but before you find that work, how do you stand out in the crowd?

I could easily say that the first thing you need to do is create awesome work. You need to build a solid portfolio that puts you well above everyone else. Then, once you have their attention, you need to keep it. Let's see how you can do that.

11 Ways to Find Photoshop Retouching Jobs

April 10, 2013 by John Ross

Find Retouching Work

Question:
How do you continue getting new jobs and clients? This is an issue I am struggling with. Do you have any suggestions for me to get clients, jobs, etc?

Answer:
I was thinking about your question for quite a while. If I needed to start over again, what worked, and what didn't. There really aren't any overnight answers. Honestly, it all comes down to "who you know". The best advice I could give you, is that you need to be where the work is. I could also add that it comes down to going out of your way to be noticed. You can not just wait in your studio for work to knock on your door when you are just starting out. The following is what worked for getting my own studio noticed.

Problematic Smart Objects and Smart Filters

Tonal Range, Levels and Curves | Digital Fundamental Tutorial

Tonal Range, Levels and Curves | Digital Fundamental Tutorial

Photoshop Tutorial - Tonal Range, Levels and Curves

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 10 minutes

This is an Adobe Photoshop Video tutorial that explains Tonal Range, and the difference between Levels and Curves. While each of these topics is technically different, they each work with the same basic principals, so I thought it would be helpful to understand them, if I covered them all at the same time. Before you seriously get started working with RAW Files, you need to understand Tonal Range, and how the different Sliders affect different aspects of the image.
