MASTERING PRODUCT RETOUCHING - PART 2
COURSE CURRICULUM
Course includes more than 3 hours of instruction in 15 video lessons
In the first lesson, we are going to take a look at how to use multiple images and raw conversions to achieve desired exposure and lighting and make sure that we get the best starting point for our retouching process.
In this lesson, we go through the different blending mode options on how, when and why use them.
In this lesson, we revisit the Clone Stamp tool from the first part, but examine it from a different point of view and explore some additional features of the tool.
In this lesson, we take a look at a powerful and quick way of removing large amounts of dust particles and at the same time compare the pros and cons of this specific technique.
In this lesson, we demonstrate how to set up the Mixer Brush tool and use it to smooth out surfaces which are not well-suited for other methods such as cloning or healing.
In this lesson, we once again revisit another technique from the Beginner course and continue to push the boundaries to see what this technique is able to do in other instances.
In this lesson, we show you how you can combine different selection and masking methods to achieve a flawless selection result that cannot be done with just one tool.
In this lesson, we go through an important technique that uses smart objects that can be updated later to replace real life elements such as bottle labels and phone screens while maintaining texture and reflections.
In this lesson, we demonstrate how to use the Liquify tool to fix organic flaws in the image.
Continuing on the theme of transforming, in this lesson, we show the capabilities of the Warp transform modifier and how to use it to your advantage.
To round up our transformation trilogy, we go through the Puppet Warp modifier to demonstrate how to use it in more organic transforming scenarios.
In this brief lesson, we take a look at some interesting ways you can use a Black and White adjustment layer for more than simply turning an image black and white.
In this lesson, we go through three most commonly used sharpening methods and compare them to each other to find out the major differences and their pros and cons.
In this last lesson, we learn how to create a photo-realistic film grain from scratch, and how to modify it and match it to an existing grain in the image.
In this special bonus lesson, we demonstrate the application of many of the techniques presented in the course to create a final high quality image.
