The photographers at Retouching Academy have produced some of the industry’s best work when it comes to beauty photography and retouching. Not only are their images stunning, the educational content they have produced has provided immense help to other photographers learning the industry. The last product we featured, “Studio Beauty” with Julia Kuzmenko McKim was such a big hit that we’re bringing more of their post processing techniques to Fstoppers.

In RA’s latest production, Michael Woloszynowicz dives into one of retouching’s most fundamental techniques, dodging and burning. Michael breaks down this fundamental, nondestructive process into a four section course that teaches both the theory and practical application that goes into dodging and burning an image. Here’s a little more of what this course provides.

What’s Covered in This Tutorial?

Lesson 1 
It’s important to understand some of the broader points of retouching an image before we dive into practical application. This lesson introduces you to the tools and settings needed throughout the course as well as the reasoning behind choosing D&B as a corrective technique.

• Underlying theory behind D&B, what is it, how it works, why it is so important, and how it compares to other techniques
• The elements of an image: Hue, Saturation, and Luminosity
• Local or Corrective D&B
• Global D&B or Contouring
• D&B vs. Other Retouching Techniques
• D&B types within your workflow
• Tools and Layers for your D&B work
• Working with Curves Adjustment Layers for Corrective D&B and Contouring
• Working with 50% Gray Layers for Corrective D&B and Contouring
• D&B as a part of your retouching workflow

Lesson 2
In this lesson, we begin to use D&B for localized correction and to refine luminosity shifts in skin to make it look perfect. We also examine how the technique can be used in combination with other tools like the Healing Brush. While we walk you through practical application of using D&B, we’ll also demonstrate some pitfalls to avoid which give your images unnatural looking results.

Lesson 3
In the third lesson we dive into the idea of contouring or global D&B.

We explore how adding accentuating highlights or shadows on certain areas of the face and body can give your subject more depth and dimension to give a more three-dimensional appearance.

This lesson starts with a completed beauty image and then moves on to  completing the black and white image from lesson two.

To finish this lesson, we contour a color image to give an extra example of this technique. As well as the standard contour process, we examine the best ways to go about reshaping areas of the face using light and how to organize your layers when doing so.

Lesson 4
The final lesson will involve putting the final touches on all our images, particularly from a color standpoint.

Although our focus with D&B is to correct luminosity shifts, we still have to pay attention to color. This course doesn’t dwell on color correction techniques but it is important to be able to identify color issues and understand the most useful tools for correcting color.

We’ll explore how to use D&B to work on details such as harsh shadows, dark spots in the whites of the eye, as well as peach fuzz on the face, and deal with the resulting color problems in those areas.

  Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Innovative Business Model:
     • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
  2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
     • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
  3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
     • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
       • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
       • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
       • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
       • No direct email support from the author or their team.

     We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.

  Refund is acceptable:

  • Firstly, item is not as explained
  • Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
