About the event
-
Are you spending hours manually clicking away blemishes, fixing flyaway hairs, and dodging skin patches until your eyes hurt? In this free interactive online workshop, we will provide a beginner-friendly introduction to supercharging your portrait retouching workflow using next-generation tools without sacrificing natural skin textures.
We will walk you through the basics of turning flat RAW files into clean, polished portraits in seconds. You will learn how to automate blemish removal, achieve natural skin tone, gently refine facial contours, clean up stray hairs, and apply consistent edits across an entire photoshoot.
Ever missed the exposure on location or walked away with dark, backlit "ruined" shots? We will also cover how to rescue underexposed frames and tricky lighting disasters using AI relighting and dynamic range recovery tools—bringing shadow details, facial highlights, and vibrant skin colors back to life without introducing ugly digital noise. Say goodbye to plastic skin filters and endless manual brushing, and reclaim hours of your time.
