How To Edit Portraits Like A PRO! (8 Step Beginner Method) Ft. Tourbox Elite

In today's video, I'll walk you through the entire process of retouching a portrait using only the tools found in Lightroom & Photoshop using the Tourbox Elite!

If you're a beginner, many videos on YouTube show the process using a preset. While that can be helpful starting out, it isn't actually teaching you the exact steps to take to make your photos look their best. That's why I walk through the specific settings that I use in Lightroom before bringing it to Adobe Photoshop to finish off the skin retouching and color grading. Grab a coffee, relax, and follow along with me!

Great video bro

What tool was you using to paint with the pen?

What is a good tablet that works well with MacBook? Also, not at all related to editing, but if you have any videos on nailing a focus in blue hour or dark scenes, can you point to which one?

Impressive! This really helped, thanks!

Overall it was pretty good.

For the love of Pete though guys please don’t paint with the clone stamp. You select the blemish or whatever to change and make the circle just about its size. You select healthy texture that follows the light and texture patterns and just stamp. Painting blurs it. You can especially see this when he works on the nose. It’s a bad habit many pick up.

Looks like an interesting tool. Honestly, before I think about buying it, I’d like to see it in a reputable camera store, not Chinese dominated Amazon.
