Course description

Photoshop for Portrait Photographers teaches you how to elevate your portraits from “blah” to stunning with pro-level retouching. David Molnar starts by reshaping how you think about retouching so you avoid over-editing and stay intentional. You’ll master essential tools like the spot healing brush, patch tool, clone stamp, and dodge-and-burn techniques. The course includes full process tutorials for male and couple portraits, showing you every editing step from start to finish. You’ll also learn advanced tricks like head swaps, adding people to group photos, and replacing dull skies for more dramatic impact. Bonus lessons dive into reshaping the body using Puppet Warp and other transformation tools. By the end, you’ll have the skills to confidently edit portraits that look polished, natural, and magazine-worthy
