\n\t\"John<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you frustrated by weak<\/em> online videos? Have you become confused by tutorials that assume you already know what to do? Are you hungry for real-world tools that are relevant to your work?<\/p>\n

If so, my name is John Ross<\/strong><\/a>, I have the solution.<\/p>\n

After working in the photography, retouching, and graphic design field for more than 20 years, I\u2019ve come to recognize a huge problem. The need for quality, economical, and most importantly \u2014 effective \u2014 Photoshop training.<\/p>\n

To fill this gap, I founded The Art of Retouching Studio in 2010, which specifically focuses on training photographers who want to be more comfortable retouching images, using the power of Adobe Photoshop.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"John<\/a>What makes The Art of Retouching Tutorials different? Every video I produce is intended to be simple, straightforward, and easily understood. Each tutorial is divided into small segments, which will maximize your learning experience, and minimize intimidation.<\/p>\n

No matter what your current skill level may be, my passion is to help you experience the world of creativity that Adobe Photoshop can offer. The Art of Retouching Studio<\/strong><\/a> is your<\/strong> community, your<\/strong> roadmap to learning best practices, and your<\/strong> number one resource for motivated learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
