This is just an re-upload of my tutorial video from last year, without the song and updated websites.

It might be kind of confusing for people who are not familiar with the program. I'll try to make a more basic video soon.

hey I just have a quick question, when I try to use my burn and dodge tool for the eyes it seems that it doesn't do anything... what can i do???

[meowyuanw]

@chepita472 check out settings for the intensity, and make sure you have either highlight or midtones selected.

Great video but,music would be nice to go along with it. Quietly in the background you know.

[meowyuanw]

@TeresaLuvsYouh Play something on your computer ;p . Jk, I was just too lazy to find a free track that's not copy righted.. >_<

[sw33tlilaznangel]

can you explain a little more about what the masking was for? >.<

I got a little confused

[meowyuanw]

@sw33tlilaznangel Maybe I'll make a video about it soon. Mask is hard to explain in a few words... 

[GlitterGlam014]

really coool but you are to pretty for photoshop :)

@pinkdinoRAWRaus The point of this video it NOT to tell people to do exactly what I do or to make photos look like this one. This is simply to show people the tools I used when I retouch images, and everyone is welcomed to modify the techniques to their own liking, that's why I show the possibilities of making the picture more dramatic. This image is for demonstration and not for perfection. I never use it as a finished product, and I was wearing circle lenses with exaggerated iris patterns.
