Photoshop Tutorial: Dodge tool and more color corrections

Chad — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 07:54:34 +0000

Hosted by Veoh.comMy fifth Photoshop CS3 tutorial. In this video, I’ll show you some more precise color correction methods and explain a little bit about the dodge, burn and sponge tools.

Those of you who already know your way around Photoshop should probably not waste your time watching this video. It’s meant for beginners.

There are two issues with this video everyone should be aware of in this video:

First, my screencasting software glitched and recorded my cursor as Vista’s busy cursor, so you won’t be able to see some of the actual cursors I’m using.

Second, I reference a book that I never actually mentioned in the video, so you’ll probably wonder what I’m talking about. More info on the book here:

Concepts covered: color corrections, dodge tool, burn tool, sponge tool

Photoshop Tutorial: Standard Beauty Retouch With Masks

Chad — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 06:15:20 +0000

Hosted by Veoh.comMy second Photoshop CS3 tutorial. In this video, I continue working with masks to do a standard beauty retouch. I keep it simple and only correct some blemishes and wrinkles and smooth the skin. We’ll do color correction and a bit of facial reconstruction (with the liquefy tool) in a later tutorial.This is an intermediate tutorial, so I assume you have a working knowledge of Photoshop’s layout.

I also tried to slow down a little bit so you can understand what I’m saying, but if I’m still talking too fast, let me know.
