This is a link to one of my UCLA Extension Photoshop Portrait Retouching classes that I teach there. We spend the whole day on iMacs where I have fun working on tons of images with students, showing them how to make their portraits look their best.
This is the class description from UCLA’s site:
Photoshop Portrait Retouching Workshop
ART 865.89

Photoshop is a photographer’s best friend, and retouching in Photoshop is a skill that can benefit all kinds of photographers. This hands-on workshop focuses on some of the best tools and techniques to fix and improve any kind of portrait. Learn the advantages of working in .RAW; why layer masks are the key to retouching; how to remove wrinkles and blemishes, smooth out skin and get good skin color, reshape the nose, whiten teeth, add highlights to the hair, dodge and burn effectively; and more. Each student has his/her own computer workstation and works on images with the instructor. By the end of the course, learn how to enhance portraits without revealing that they were retouched in Photoshop.
