Even though this tutorial is several years old, it's still totally usable and works great. Thanks, Marty, for creating this tutorial that is not overly complicated.

Great video. Came across somebody's instagram where they keep making claims about not using makeup. As a photographer, not as somebody putting up pictures of themselves. Retouching is something I already knew he did, but seeing how this plain photo was done makes the claims of greatness crumble even more.

You, sir, are officially my favorite person of the day! Thanks for breaking it down for people like me who aren’t already Photoshop and Mac wizards.

Fantastic tutorial! New subscriber 😁

Thanks. i can say i finally learned something after watching multiple tutorials. you did a great job

[michaelschatz]

Awesome tutorial. I had just one thought you could mention.  When you go to the alpha channel created and use the brush to bring back the eye brows, eyes, lips etc.  Make sure to turn your brush to the color black and not white.  By default, seems to stay white. If you  don't then you are just brushing white over white. I know it may be obvious to many, but just thought I'd put it out there. Thank you again.

followed the tutorial and achieved tremendous results. Thanks Marty

I started watching and learning from your video 7 years ago when I was 14 and at that time I had no basic at all regarding of Photoshop. I'm 23 now and the knowledge and skills I gained from your videos really helped me a lot during my study years from school to university. Although my course had no relation with designing but people around me praised my photoshop skills haha but it's all thanks to your guidance and patience to explain it one by one!

The best tutorial on skin softening I've seen. Short, clearly explained and easy to follow. Thanks

[travisrollins]

I have watched and tried probly 18 different videos on this subject and this is the first one that worked for me... Thank you

This is basically all you need to know in photoshop. Thanks for your tutorial.

[RichardJoeLeonn]

I've been trying to find someone who can explain this in a real simple terms thank you finally someone that doesn't go flying over it as if I already knew. Nice teaching pace thank you again.

Always come back to do this video whenever I need to do a quick skin retouch.

[JerryLaboa]

The best and quickest explanation ever.

best tutorial for photo retouching. very elaborate and easy to understand. thanks

[jazzyj]

Wow, thank you so much. I realize that if you've used photoshop but are not used to using new tools, you MUST find a tutorial that is updated due to the updates of the program. I was trying to follow along with a program that was posted in a video in 2011.  That didn't work for me then I searched 2015 tutorials and of course I didn't notice until the very end that we were using the exact same version of photoshop. This was super helpful.

[akkythegunner]

Thanks a ton, Marty!
This is just what I needed and after days of searching (and going through a lot of useless tutorials) I've found this thankfully. Works like a charm!
Also, I love your detailed explanations. Keep up the good work. Thanks again. :)
