Well, it has been awhile since my last blog. During this winter break I have been spending most of my time watching Lynda.com. It has been hours of fun, learning, and a refresher on some of the programs I am always using. With all the time I have spent watching these training videos, it has helped my retouching quite a bit. Some of my favorite courses that I have watched so far are "Beyond Skin: Going Deeper with Photoshop CS3" and "Photoshop CS4 Retouching: Fashion Photography Projects". They showed me better way to organize my workflow, and to "reduce and simplify" as Chris Orwig would say. I went back to a couple of images that I corrected before watching the videos and reworked them. With the new techniques that I am incorporating into my workflow the images have really started to pop. This upcoming semester my post productions should be great. Now I just need to work on some concepts to shoot.
