Photoshop Brush Retouching Masterclass (for PsCC & CS).
In this video tutorial, I’m going to show you the ultimate way to retouch your images to remove unwanted details.
Above, you can see a shot of a gorgeous Barn Owl called “Lilly”!
Lilly is a CITES registered captive bird who ended up at the Owl Experience Rescue Sanctuary, and cannot be released into the wild.
Because she is a bird that the public get very close to, she has some vital, but unsightly, leather ‘furniture’ on her legs.
So, in this short video course, I’ll show you how to carry you the ULTIMATE retouching operation on the supplied raw file of Lilly.
I will take you through how to make a Photoshop custom brush shape, and how to apply the various brush SHAPE DYNAMICS and brush SCATTERING settings, and how to apply these not only to a ‘brush’ but to the CLONE tool as well.
This retouching method is very closely allied to the techniques I was taught to use on prints way back before the days of digital photography. And it is VASTLY superior to the more modern methods you commonly see demonstrated, featuring ‘content aware’ and ‘generative Ai’.
Newly added: Lesson 3a. Creating Filament brushes in earlier versions of Photoshop CS/CC prior to the introduction of the Curvature Pen Tool.
