Is high end retouching different? Any magical Photoshop tricks involved? This video shows step by step how beauty portraits are polished in high end retouching. There are no magic tricks, nor are people’s faces altered to make them look “beautiful”. High End Retouching is about cleaning up the face and flaws that could not have been taken care of during a shoot. The goal always should be to deliver realistic results that do not need to look retouched. High end retouching does not require airbrushing or painting over the skin. Professionals also do not use blur filter or filtering techniques in order to blend tones into each other. This image successfully shows what can be expected from a high end retoucher when dealing with images. It illustrates the enormous time investment and hard work put into one single image as well as the importance of quality source images in order to deliver stunning results.
