Very good indepth video dude! But I have to say, from someone who does this day in day out, this is wayyy too much prep and work. Its literally clean up then dodge and burn on curves with a soft brush. all that BW/blur stuff at the beginning is not used as it just eats away at the budget.
Some techniques for the micro specks but thats not used most of the time in normal commercial advertising work. Its all about the natural look. you can achieve a lot with a few curves. I think the most important element is the brush. Photoshop updated all the bushes recently so luckily I was able to get the legacy brushes. Soft, 100opacity 2% flow with pen pressure applied. Thats a huge factor with curves for skin work. Anyway ill stop waffling, I gotta remove a tone of fly away hair: )

Is way too expensive! Is a good product but way too expensive. I use Portrait pro which is doing good job, and it cost less and is doing every thing he put in all his plugins - except cleaning the background - and more. He sell 3dlut Creator and now we have almost the same thing in Davinci Resolve for free. Is his choice I respect that and I hope that satisfy him because with such a price we never buy his products (otherwise very good products.

Thanks for all the great videos. Early on I see something that goes against all my PS instincts: If I follow correctly, you created a new blank layer (not an adjustment layer) and then proceeded to use the healing brush on the blank layer, which seemed to affect the image in real time. Did I miss something?

Can someone answer my question? I wanna know if I should dodge and burn before or after I've done a Lightroom edit. Mainly just colors, and basic exposure edits

amazing.
Is there a big difference between using a brush and using a Dodge and Burn tool?
(ex. skin, tone )

Thats a lot of work for 1 photograph. How do you use that whole process and apply it to another photo?
