With what exactly...............

 

[DJMorgan]

To understand how to do it properly. I need a guide of some sort.

 

[tiler65]

air brushing is a huge subject............ what are you trying to do.

1. Global Colour Adjustments

2. Flow vs Opacity

3. Safe Cloning – Don’t Kill Pixels!!

4. Dodge and Burn with Curves

5. Dodge and Burn with Black and White on Grey

6. Dodge and Burn with Colour on Grey

You start with 1, then do 3 (2 just explains why a particular setting is used)

Then choose one method from 4,5 or 6 to address tonal variation.

I wrote the posts above, and recorded the supporting videos. Where possible I've referenced any books used.

The retouchers that I've learnt the techniques from.

1. Gry Garness
2. Amy Dresser & Carrie Beene
3. Carrie Beene
4. Carrie Beene
5. Can't remember
6. Chris Tarantino

Save as either .tiff or PSD as they will retain the Layers. I use .tiff

Also (and probably very controversially) I often convert from 16 bit to 8 bit once I've done the global colour corrections. This makes the file smaller and faster to work with.

Another thing. When editing images a tablet (even a small one) is a huge help rather than using the mouse.

Jasons videos/tutorials are very good.

Been learning all about masks with the one he put up the other day on how to put a different background on a subject.

Must look at these soon.
