nice tutorials, but his technique seemed awful. I just watched the make up one, and he duplicated the layers so many times and erased… most of those things he did could have easily been done with adjustment layers and masks… Sorry to be overly critical. But just as an example, he used an adjustment layer on the last part of the “applying lipstick” all he had to do was paint on the mask layer, but instead he erased a top layer… a very, destructive way to make those changes. Sorry again if that sound too critical. http://photoshoptv.com has some really nice tutorials… if anyones interested.

Thanks for sharing! Personally, for the whitening of eyes and teeth, I’d use a masked adjustment layer in Photoshop, a little overdone so you can control the exact amount of whitening with the fade adjustment of the layer ;) Good to see these video tutorials!!

Have you ever tried portrait professional? No layers to deal with, very easy.

Can anyone tell me the steps to adjusting the nose? hansen.74@comcast.net
I saw the tutorial without spoken words and I just am not that versed in photoshop to know what they were doing but I’d like to. Also any tips to making a studio for portrait photography. (windows?)

A quicker way to whiten teeth and eyes is to do the following: Choose the brush tool. From the drop down box, choose saturation. Choose a soft brush that is small enough that it won’t touch the gums as you go over the teeth. Put the brush opacity around 15% and the flow around 35%. Go over the teeth being careful not touch the gums. You can always clean up the gums with the history brush later if you need to. Do not desaturate them too much because they will turn gray. Use this technique similarly for the whites of the eyes.
You should be able to breeze through an entire wedding party in an hour or two, no problem.

Really nice! I thought I couldn’t do this type of editing because I don’t have the full Photoshop, but your tutorial got me looking and I found most of the functions in Elements as well. Thanks!
