Its simple interface and tools will only take minutes to get the hang of, as opposed to taking hours to at least be competent enough in Photoshop. You&#8217;ll see just how effortless it is to retouch your raw photo, which is why this tool should be a cornerstone in your retouching career.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Smart Objects for a Smart Workflow<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to get stuck doing something halfway through editing just because you realize that you want to go back but can&#8217;t, because you&#8217;ve permanently damaged your photo with all the adjustments, and your original image is one big mess. For any retoucher, it&#8217;s important to develop a non-destructive workflow. Smart Objects and Smart Filters will give you the ability to go back and forth between your actions without permanently affecting your original photo.\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some topics include:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Camera Raw and Camera Raw Filter<\/li>\n<li>Local Adjustments<\/li>\n<li>Open Image vs. Open Object<\/li>\n<li>Smart Objects<\/li>\n<li>Smart Filters<\/li>\n<li>Linked Smart Objects<\/li>\n<li>Problems with Smart Objects<\/li>\n<li>PSB File Format<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Wait&#8230; isn&#8217;t this a FREE Class?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Well, yes, but mostly no. There is a free version available on this website, but even though it&#8217;s pretty awesome; there is a huge amount of content that I do not cover in the paid version. Like, it&#8217;s not even close. No sooner does the free version start talking about Smart Objects, that the class is over. The free one is great to get started for beginners. However, If you want to know everything there is to know about using Smart Objects in your workflow, then this class has WAY more to offer. More videos, written materials, and downloadable content. I was challenged by a fellow retoucher to expand on the original content, and even he was impressed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;<strong>Nice job!!<\/strong> Thanks for the new Smart Object tutorial. You covered a lot of new ground. The Lightroom example was interesting in that you opened the Lightroom RAW file as a Smart Object in Photoshop and then used Camera Raw for more changes. Let&#8217;s hope that the Adobe Engineers listen to your requests for Smart Object Workflow improvements. On a Non-Smart Object note, I purchased your Masking and Cloning videos. I find your teaching style to be very effective for me.&quot; &#8211; Philip Lindsay<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp; <\/p>\n<h4><strong>TESTIMONIALS<\/strong><\/h4>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"85%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">\n<td width=\"18%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theartofretouching.com\/blog\/images\/5stars.gif\" height=\"28\" width=\"123\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"82%\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;<\/strong><strong>Great course!!<\/strong> The instructor explains everything and makes it super easy to understand.
