1
00:00:00,006 --> 00:00:02,002
- [Natalie] Skin is one of the keys

2
00:00:02,002 --> 00:00:04,001
to compelling portraits.

3
00:00:04,001 --> 00:00:08,001
Learning how to retouch it quickly is essential.

4
00:00:08,001 --> 00:00:12,000
Lightroom and Photoshop offer many ways to do this.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,005
But which ones do you use?

6
00:00:14,005 --> 00:00:16,001
I'm Natalie Fobes.

7
00:00:16,001 --> 00:00:17,008
In my photography business,

8
00:00:17,008 --> 00:00:20,004
I've used Photoshop forever

9
00:00:20,004 --> 00:00:23,002
and Lightroom for almost as long.

10
00:00:23,002 --> 00:00:25,009
By working on real world photographs,

11
00:00:25,009 --> 00:00:29,009
I've had to figure out what works and what doesn't.

12
00:00:29,009 --> 00:00:32,003
What can be done quickly in Lightroom

13
00:00:32,003 --> 00:00:35,003
and what needs more time in Photoshop.

14
00:00:35,003 --> 00:00:37,004
As a working photographer,

15
00:00:37,004 --> 00:00:39,004
I can't afford to spend a lot of time

16
00:00:39,004 --> 00:00:43,000
in front of the computer, retouching my photos.

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,007
Most of the techniques I share in this course

18
00:00:45,007 --> 00:00:48,002
take only a few minutes.

19
00:00:48,002 --> 00:00:51,004
And in Lightroom, I'll show you how to save more time

20
00:00:51,004 --> 00:00:54,004
by applying the adjustments made to one photo

21
00:00:54,004 --> 00:00:56,007
to the rest in the series.

22
00:00:56,007 --> 00:00:59,003
This course features some of my favorite techniques

23
00:00:59,003 --> 00:01:02,005
for fixing or improving portraits.

24
00:01:02,005 --> 00:01:05,008
After setting up the preferences in both programs,

25
00:01:05,008 --> 00:01:09,000
we'll see how lighting affects the skin texture.

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,006
Then we'll move on to the importance of skin color

27
00:01:11,006 --> 00:01:13,004
and the many ways to correct it

28
00:01:13,004 --> 00:01:16,006
in both Lightroom and Photoshop.

29
00:01:16,006 --> 00:01:19,003
Next, we'll go over how to enhance features

30
00:01:19,003 --> 00:01:21,009
and disguise distractions.

31
00:01:21,009 --> 00:01:25,004
And then finish with how to give someone a makeup makeover

32
00:01:25,004 --> 00:01:27,001
in Lightroom.

33
00:01:27,001 --> 00:01:29,002
Whether you select a chapter that helps

34
00:01:29,002 --> 00:01:32,001
with a specific retouching challenge,

35
00:01:32,001 --> 00:01:34,005
or you watch it from start to finish,
