Sarah Edmunds - Member Edit - Goddess Portrait

This video shows extensive use of the PRW for competition-level editing and retouching. Sarah starts in ACR for noise reduction using the 'enhance' function. Several issues like coloration on the knees and cleanup of hair are addressed. Specific tools like the healing and remove tool are used to clean up the image before the skin retouch begins. The session covers smoothing out skin tones, particularly focusing on the challenges of evening out leg tones and adding dimension to avoid a flat appearance. Lighting adjustments, frequency separation for different body parts, and manual tone adjustments are discussed. Attention is given to careful styling critique, suggesting that less is more and discussing the distraction caused by excessive accessories. The editing process includes detailed dodge and burn techniques to sculpt and highlight features, adding texture where needed, and careful consideration of the backdrop to maintain focus. The video closes with liquefying adjustments to enhance body contours subtly and adjusting facial expressions for the desired emotional effect. A final color grading step concludes the detailed post-processing workflow, showcasing a transformative before and after comparison.
