UdemyModern retouching rejects the porcelain-doll aesthetic in favor of flawless skin that still feels real. This course teaches a workflow that preserves skin texture and structural integrity while removing blemishes and imperfections.
You'll learn techniques that work across any lighting—daytime, studio, nighttime—and understand why basic methods like frequency separation often look over-edited. The emphasis is on efficiency and quality working together: spending less time while achieving better results.
Best for: Portrait photographers and editors pursuing the modern standard: a model who looks like herself at her best.
Whether you're new to portrait editing or have been retouching for a while now, you're probably here because you're looking to learn how to create a higher-quality retouch.
What sets a high-quality retouch apart from an average retouch? If you can create a result that looks like real skin and makes the model look like herself, yet she still looks flawless - you've created a high-quality retouch! Popular trends are moving away from airbrushed-looking images, where models are made to look like porcelain dolls. Instead, we are moving towards images that feel unretouched and "real".
Often, basic techniques such as frequency separation can create results that look over-edited. The techniques taught in this tutorial will instead create a very natural result that maintains the complete structural integrity and all the texture of the model's skin!
You will learn a retouching workflow that is centered around quality and efficiency. The techniques are unique and novel and can be applied to any portrait shot (daytime / studio / nighttime / etc.). This tutorial will take your retouching game to the next level!
