Bad move by clonig the eye...you can see that are the same. Simetry is beauty...but not allways!

@adiphoto I actually agree. I ended up throwing it in there due to a request given on demonstrating that technique. Unfortunately, it's a common request given to me by my clients. On my own work, I don't go that deep.

[adiphoto]

@solsticeretouch Then it's ok.

Check my work: on vvvvvv.adrianzaharia. R O

How are you able to freely rotate the image like you do in this video. Looking at the menus, under rotate, I only see 90, 180 degrees, as well as others. You seem to rotate it with a lot more control. Which is what I would like to do lol. Superb video btw.

@artifical007 - On CS5, by default, the 'R' key is set to go to the rotate tool. This allows you to manually rotate the canvas, as you would a regular piece of paper, on the fly. It's great for those like me with a drawing background. You can then switch back to your preferred working tool and continue going at it.

Let me know if this helped!

[artifical007]

@solsticeretouch Helped a TON!!! Something I should have known. Thanks again!!

At the start she looked pretty.

At the end she looked plastic.

@solesticeretouch at 0:33 what do you do with the layers? Merge the layers? if yes how do you make the clone tool usable in the blank layer after creating the group? cause i cant use the clone tool after i create a new layer out of the Group.. please explain it to me, its really important cause without this i can't move on with the retouching! thanks !

[solsticeretouch]

@tiagocamposdrums Basically, what I did was place all the layers into a folder. To do that, select all the layers and bring them into the folder icon in the layer palette. I did not flatten them but just minimized the folder so you can't see the layers. If you expand the folder, they are all there. After that, I set a blank layer over the folder and selected the clone tool. Then I ensured the top either had 'sample all layers' or 'current and below' selected as I continued.

Great retouch!)



[solsticeretouch]

@natartnyc I appreciate that!

[Killadey]

Great video! I thought the photo looked stunning in B&W, i would of been tempted to keep the B&W adjustment layer on.

Liked!

[solsticeretouch]

@Killadey Thank you! I loved the black and white as well, I was considering keeping it as well.

[deepakmenro14]

[KrunoslavStifter]

Always interested in another retouchers point of view. Thanks for sharing.

[solsticeretouch]

@KrunoslavStifter Always a pleasure hearing from you!

[artifical007]

Very cool vid. Why did you switch to monochrome though? Easier to spot certain elements whilst retouching?

[solsticeretouch]

@artifical007 - Correct

[b1tTutorials]

@artifical007 yeah, you can see better not perfect spots in monochrome :9

[artifical007]

@b1tTutorials Makes sense. Cheers buddy!
