Glamour Retouching Class

Yeah. But that's NOT the way to do it:
If you go Mode > CMYK, the image will be converted to the default CMYK working space (set in the color settings), and you will loose any colors that are out of CMYK gamut!
Mode > RGB will then convert the image to your default RGB working space. sRGB in your case. And clipping any colors that are outside sRGB gamut in the process...

If your intended output is for web, I'd use sRGB troughout.

Oh!!! got it

Two words for everyone in this thread looking to get better at retouching portraits.

Frequency Seperation.

That is all.

It's not the only way, but it probably is one of the best, and easiest. (once you understand it)
Careful healing or dodge / burn can work as well.

that first video on that link is VERY similar to what we were taught. He uses the exact same tools as well.

going to check out the video, but it would be nice if you actually explained some of your new found techniques rather than just hype the class
