Hey Studio (may I ask for your name?),

Great to have you in here, welcome to the forum. Fantastic work, I agree with Doug, that first shot is amazing. Your compositing is on point so definitely...

For those of you who missed the November PhotoKamp, we've just announced the next one on April 8-10, 2011. We've perfected the design of the workshop even further based on feedback from the first...

Hi David,

Thanks for the kind words, and for posting your work. The shots look great, especially given that you're so new to retouching. The #2 and #3 photos are fantastic, I wouldn't change much....

Hi Ladytre,

The skin looks very smooth, nice work on the consistency of the technique. I would watch the discoloration on the sides of the her mouth...maybe drag down a bit of the cheek color so...

Hey extended Slickforce fam,

I wanted to apologize for the recent barrage of spam in our forum. I've been up to eyeballs in work this week and just now got in to moderate. There was also a user...

Hey Gilbert,

Thank you for the kind words and welcome to the Slickforce forum! You'll find a lot of great people in here for feedback, conversation, or critiques.

...and LOL Corey now you've...

Hey Corey,

All the shots look great, but I like the first image the best because of the monochromatic color palette and smooth contrast and gradients.

And while I'm always a fan of...

Simply click the check box on the top menu of the Clone Stamp. Change it from Sample Current Layer to Sample All Layers.

Hey Sergio,

Welcome to the forum! It's great to have you here, and you'll find many skilled photographers and retouchers from wildly different genres in the forums. Happy Holidays!

If you've got the budget, get the 5DMK2. While the 1D and 7D are nice, the 5D is literally changing the industry, partly due to it's cinema-quality HD video. The camera will keep you happy for years.

Yo Corey, thought i'd deposit my 2c into your cards
Front:
First of all it looks mighty similar to my Moo Cards I used for my self promo :-P...

You have to remember that people are inherently interested in themselves, and you cannot expect them to ever take the time or trouble to visit your website and learn about you. For most people, your...

That's fine, just make sure to post all retouching work in the member's section of the forum called the Matrix. It's specifically reserved for people who have purchased Mastering Retouching. Can't...

Awesome dude, I love this. You nailed the tinting and the depth of field, which are the two giveaways of bad compositing. Good cutouts/masking on the foreground as well. Maybe add an overall grunge...

Hi Ladytre,

First, welcome to the Slickforce forum! You'll find yourself among many talented photographers, retouchers, and compositors here, who are all very happy to give comments, feedback, and...

I agree with Bigram, and on an even deeper level. These cards do nothing to showcase how talented you are. Listen to what I am going to tell you, and please take my comments in the positive light...

The practice photos for the first few levels are included on the discs in the Images folder. The images for the advanced levels are here in the Matrix forum for free, you just need your password to...

Just add your email to the mailing list at http://photo-kamp.com and you'll hear it first when we announce the next dates!

I agree with Doug, actually, about the location. Since you're so skilled at compositing, maybe try swapping out the dead grass with an awesome green football field...I think it will add to the...

Hi Alicia,

Sure you can post, if you're interested in getting feedback on your retouching. Please be sure to post in the correct forums, there are ones for Retouching and for Modeling as well....

Hey Werner,

Thanks for your patience. Between PhotoKamp and another project I'm launching in November, I've been a bit off-radar, so I apologize for the delay in my response.

Your techniques...

Another thought popped into my head on this topic.

No person, woman or man, who wants to be a part of your life should ever make you second-guess your livelihood, especially when you get the...

So glad you like the Mastering Retouching series. I worked very hard to make sure it was both education and fun.

There will likely be a follow-up series that covers lighting and photography, but...

Hmm...interesting question you pose here, Doug.

Interesting primarily because I imagine my answer could go on for hours. But I'll keep this short.

Nearly every woman will have some issue with...

Hey guys,

I've had that occasionally too, but it's either me sampling from the wrong place when I get tired (in this case too low near the bikini), or Photoshop sometimes has a hiccup where the...
