    This video provides a comprehensive walkthrough of a professional photo editing process using various software tools including Lightroom, Photoshop, and the Pro Retouch Workflow actions. Sarah begins by adjusting the lighting and shadow details in a photo, discussing the importance of histogram balance and the pros and cons of working with smart objects. The session covers skin smoothing, reducing blemishes, and evening out skin tones with Photoshop techniques, including frequency separation and adjustment layers. Specific attention is given to correcting skin pigmentation, adding grain for a natural look, and managing dodge and burn for highlights and shadows. Advanced topics include creating seamless backgrounds, utilizing artificial intelligence for background modifications, and applying textures. Sarah ends by using Adobe Camera Raw filters for a final colour grade, and describes the ideal workflow between Lightroom and Photoshop for non-destructive editing. This tutorial is aimed at intermediate to advanced photographers seeking to elevate their photo retouching skills to produce professional-grade imagery using the PRW system
