This is a really good Photoshop tutorial video on advanced dodge and burn techniques for portraiture. These are the types of things that are good to know for that one special image you’re working on. It’s not the quickest or easiest stuff in the world. This stuff takes time, but the time is definitely well spent. Most stock photographers like myself can’t afford to invest this much time into just one image or piece of stock art, for the sake of workflow and return on investment. These dodging and burning methods are definitely something I might do for a client, or for a very special marketing or advertising campaign where one portrait is the main focus or feature image. Editorial or fashion photographers and retouchers might employ this much retouching in their workflow, especially for headshots, magazine covers or article spreads. Here the artist/author, Sean Armenta, also shares how to work with curves, curve adjustment layers, and layer masking.
A quick and painless demonstration of wrinkle removal using some tools in Photoshop. I apologize for the fact that it sounds like the mic was inside of my mouth…
Here is a recent photo edit I did on a photo of my dog, using the clone stamp and patch tools in Adobe Photoshop. This video illustrates a pretty simple yet effective way of removing some unwanted elements from the image – all in under 4 minutes. These are the types of edits I do on a daily basis to each and every one of my photos, when it comes to removing logos, flaws, zits, etc. Once you master these tools there’s very little you can’t fix.

Here Bob show how to create a unique layout with simple square shapes in Photoshop. Clipping group is something I had never even heard of until I watched this tutorial. I really like how non-destructive the editing is with these methods. Everything Bob does, he does it in ways where he can easily modify it without having to go backwards in the history tab. Overall this is a really cool effect that you can easily tweak the template to your own style or personal preference.
