Photo Retouching

Photograph Retouching:

The most recognized use of Photoshop is manipulating images of people.

You see this very often with celebrities. If you click through the slider on the right you can see examples of before and after. The last slide does not disappoint!

This is an area of Photoshop you have to be careful with. This can be very dishonest and result in unrealistic and frankly, impossible standards.

Phlearn:

You can find amazing resources online to guide you through professional methods in Photoshop. Phlearn is a youtube channel that I have found that offers just that.
