Share Everything You Know
Good image retouching comes from keen observation, acute attention to detail and most of all… realism. Knowing someone else’s technique and approach won’t reproduce their results.
So don’t be afraid to share what you know with others. People who refuse to share ideas or techniques are usually the least experienced and unprofessional people of all. They feel compelled to protect what they know as they feel it gives them a significant competitive advantage. It doesn’t.
Knowledge alone isn’t enough.
It’s the ability to know when and why to use certain techniques that you should focus on, not the fact that you’ve acquired the knowledge.
It’s the actual process that will determine your outcome. This is where all of your energy and focus should lie. So share everything you know and learn from others, but then apply that knowledge.
Work to the best of your ability… Then you’ll gain a significant competitive advantage.
Welcome
This is my blog about retouching.
I’m not too sure what specifically I’m going to write about here or how it will develop and evolve over time, but it should be interesting. If nothing else, it will eventually serve as a useful resource for me; full of tips and tricks and detailed accounts of any new techniques that I learn along the way. I’ll include links to anything that I find interesting or relevant, I’ll probably include some examples and screen shots and stuff. Hopefully in time, other people will find it useful as well.
So let’s get started shall we?
