Course Description
Great for Beauty Retouching beginners "Making Photoshop Fun & Easy"
All Lessons include step by step in video instructions!
Includes all Raw & Photoshop files which you can profit from - Instantly
Good to have some essential photoshop knowledge or experience.
Full & free lifetime access to the complete course
My approach is:
One thing I have learned through all the years of working with Adobe Photoshop is that knowing and understanding the essentials of adobe photoshop is just as fundamental as the heavier and trickier Photoshop techniques when it comes to honing your craft.
This Beauty Photoshop Retouching course is good for beginners. But it would be good if you have some to photoshop essentials knowledge of the Photoshop tools. This course does not cover any photoshop beginner tool explanations.
This photoshop course heads right into adobe Bridge & photoshop raw conversions. In the next part of the photoshop course, we head into Skin Retouching for Beauty skin. From here the following lectures will deal with the more advanced photoshop retouching techniques to really improve your beauty retouching skills and the pace at which you work.

What sets this course apart:

I Love Sharing & Teaching Online.
Here on Udemy, I'm an instructor that teaches Photoshop for beginners, but if you are more experienced, then take advantage of my free Photoshop courses. I’ve been teaching Photoshop & Retouching on Udemy since 2012.
In my personal capacity, I’m an owner of a Digital Media Agency where the core focus lays in Content Creation. I’ve been an active photographer and retoucher since 2010 and have worked on many advertising campaigns in Cape Town “South Africa” for clients like Mercedes, Zara, H&M, etc,
When I'm not working on campaigns, I'm producing online training courses & I have realized that it has become my passion to teach online, this may vary between Photoshop, Photography, Design or Business Content. In the next years, it is my goal to teach you how to become a better version of yourself with all kinds of skills. Most of which I have used to make my life better & to gain financial freedom.
Feel free to reach out to me on Udemy at any time, if you have questions about the courses or just want to say hi!
Thank you, Manni

This course is really professional, interesting, no unnecessary talking, everything is right on point. I enjoyed it very much and learned so many useful things in just couple of hours. It is precious, Manni, thank you so much!

Manfred is a good instructor, chapters and then workflow are well organized and some techniques are uncommon (Inverted High-pass ... )
By Annette Alexander on 8/5/2015
Great course, straight to the point.....not a lot of pointless chatter. I love that. I also like the fact that the instructor added the course photo for practice.
By Monique Nelson on 10/31/2014
The course takes one image and teaches you how you can apply beautiful retouching techniques to just about any portrait. It was very easy to follow, and I learned a lot of basic techniques as well as some of those all-important "secret sauce" tips that only an experienced professional can teach you!

Ich hätte mir noch mehr zu den Augen gewünscht und dass die RAW-Datei gleich dabei wäre.

Sometime, it's a little faster, but dont worry, pause it, take notes and you will have the best tutorial for beauty retouching ever!
By Baris Oztekin on 7/25/2013

Yippee! It works again on the iPad. Thanks for fixing it! I love portrait photography and this is a fab set of tutorials.
By Steve Henderson on 5/3/2013
Does not play on iPad so total waste of money. Why was there no compatibility warning.
