Week 8 Outline

Fixing the Obvious, Skin Tones, and Smoothing Skin 

I'm re-doing the Black & White resource page, adding a little bit about the history of the Black and White Photography and the different Dark Room Chemical processes and their results.

http://www.uofgts.com/PS-P2Site/bw.html  It'll change over the next few weeks…

I'm also re-building the following web page so, it'll be changing over the next few weeks… It's a list of tools in Camera Raw and Photoshop… 

• Fix It Tools

From Scott Kelby's book  http://kelbytraining.com/product/professional-portrait-retouching-techniques-for-photographers-using-photoshop/

• Portrait Check List

Skin Tones, In Camera Raw The Targeted Adjustment Tool for Hue, Saturation and Luminance is your best friend!  Skin Toone details are from the Smugmug web site.   

• Skin Tone

Two step by step tutorials for smoothing skin quickly in Photoshop

 Remember, The class web site will always be available, and is always evolving…

Take another class… http://www.campusce.net/clark/course/course.aspx?catId=172
