A great thing about this course is the instructor often goes beyond just showing a technique and states why it is being used and sometimes the underlying basis of how the tools work. For those serious about such efforts, I believe these things are important to understand and they are way too often omitted from course instruction. This course could easily have had a 4.5 or 5 rating if not for a couple of pretty significant limitations. First, it is pretty clear the instructor does not or very seldom answers questions on the course content. The other more major problem is that the images used in the lectures are not available. Yes, others can be used. But working along with an instructor and comparing results seems to be the best way to develop confidence in learning. The other aspect is that the images used are clearly chosen because they exemplify how the techniques being taught impact a problem. Anyone, particularly an amateur, having those readily available is unlikely and has the potential to add to frustration. Again, yes, one can always attempt to find something on the internet. But that could be said without paying to take a course. The basic resources used in instruction should be available then the student tasked with extending the techniques demonstrated to other images.

I would have like to see more on perfecting color on pictures that were under or over developed, rather than just perfecting pictures that were shot well to begin with

I'm learning fast and things that i already know before but in more details. and i like that he is not very fast which helps me to understand easily

This is an All-Star Review. It touches on principles as well as theory to why to do what you're doing. The easy step-by-step style and approach makes what seems difficult doable. The instructor's delivery was clear and detailed about "the What and the Why." The length of each tutorial is appropriate time to digest new material and implement for yourself. Of all the videos I have seen on PhotoShop "Photography Touch-up", this is the Best. Thank you, Marcin.

very well structured in chapters and different techniques. I like it a lot! Little thing that I was missing: Retouch of "normal" glasses (in addition to sun glasses)
By Alisha Noboa on 7/1/2020
loved every second of it, super valuable information, really nicely broken down into sections, done other courses by this instructor and loved them to, would recommend, this is my fave one Ive done by him, especially as im also a MUA definitely given me more skills in photography but also helped my think about makeup in a couple of new ways

If you are serious about touching up your portrait photos then this course is for you. You will learn multiple ways to fix your photo issues. I have watched many photoshop tutorials. This one is to the point and teaches you what you need to do to get the perfect portrait shot. Definitely an A+ course. Highly recommended!

In the first 3 video sessions, i got a very clear idea about the different tools and they advantages and disadvantages. Looking forward to proceed ahead to get to know more......
By Marat Nurgaliyev on 11/7/2019
The course is very good actually, author gives all the information. But as a beginner it is very hard for me so far to understand the technical part of how photoshop works, and author does not give too much explanations on that part. So I think this course is more for advanced retouchers and photoshop users. Anyway, I would like to thank the author for this brilliant material.
By Trevor Dawkins on 8/30/2019
I found this course extremely good, Lecturer explained his reasons for his decision and showed us, why as well on some techniques. The best retouching course I have done so far.
