Wow, a bit heavy handed in the retouch...Hi Rebecca,<br />Wow, a bit heavy handed in the retouching for a portrait session. No wonder you were upset, I would be too. The relationship with the retoucher is such an important one for the photographer. Personally, I try to only use people I have trained in my studio. The healing tool and the clone stamp tool are off limits unless there is some real emergency. Skin needs to look like skin in order for a human to look like a human. Too often the retouchers want to take the easy way out and just mush out the whole texture. I always make them do everything in layers, each area and all the associated curves, so then I can turn them off, or turn them down if I want. <br /><br />Maybe we should start a support group for humans looking like humans?<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />David Harry StewartDavid Harry Stewarthttp://dhstewart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348830427574126569.post-86863999874844451542010-05-07T11:35:17.617-04:002010-05-07T11:35:17.617-04:00he he it is a very odd experience they really did...he he it is a very odd experience they really did give you the typical overly airbrushed look the idea is of course to even out the skin tones and get rid of blotches etc but as usual they go way too far but some people actually like the porcelain look<br /><br />alexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
