New video tutorial on photo retouching available here

This video tutorial offers step-by-step instructions on color correction, skin and face corrections and smoothing, removing wrinkles on the face and clothing, reducing blur, and more. Below, you will find an outline of my workflow, along with step-by-step videos and more detailed outline.

2. Partial color adjustments (face and arms) using lasso (to make selection) and "selective color"
3. Face retouching 1 (remove blemishes and wrinkles) using "healing patch" tool
