  "RETOUCHING FOR REAL" with MANDY  CORBELL

  Retouching for a portrait photographer can be time consuming. Outsourcing is a good solution for many, but retouching often is very personal to a photographer and an integral part of their artistry. Who has spent countless late nights retouching photos? Anyone? Of course! If you are a busy working photographer, you don’t have the time to do competition-style retouching to all of your photos, and you need a speedy workflow. Mandy will show you how to use today’s tools to spend a few minutes on an image and get gorgeous, realistic results, without burning the midnight oil.
