Photoshop Basics & Retouching...
Join her as she teaches you some of the Photoshop
basics, such as using layer masks, levels, clipping
masks, cloning, and many other tools available to
you. She will also use a few images to walk you
through her retouching process from start to finish,
demonstrating how to fix bad skin, remove stray
(and sometimes over-the-top-crazy-frizzy) hairs,
add bits of clothing where needed (to cover bra
straps, extend skirts, lessen cleavage, etc.), how
to use liquefy to fix client insecurities, and many
other steps that she takes in her process. She will
touch on some of her favorite and most used filters
and provide you with a cheat sheet filled with lots
of great Photoshop shortcuts. If time permits, Tracy
will also show you how she removes objects from
their backgrounds, which can be very useful when
creating composites, or if you need to change the
background of an image. If you’ve always wished
that you could do more with Photoshop, there is no
better time or place to learn!
