Photo retouching is essentially a process of practicing the art of deception. Removing bits of a picture that you, or your subject, do not like, in order to appear more attractive, intelligent, or tough. You name it, a patient application of software can achieve it…
In this lesson we look at simple retouching techniques used to remove small blemishes - basically to make the photo appear 'cleaner' and in doing so, more professional, using the Clone Stamp tool and the Healing Brush (which work exactly the same in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements).
I also demonstrate how to edit or correct perspective distortion in a photo, a perfect technique for architectural photographers wanting to make distorted buildings stand up straight (see below).
I then show off some of the neat effects that you can generate using Photoshop Elements, in particular three effects created with its Guided Edit Mode.
