I thought I knew Photoshop, I thought I was half decent but watching Guy in action and learning from him I realize that in fact I was a fat, balding, pub team player watching Zidane in action”

Cosmetic Techniques DVD
The tools and techniques taught in this DVD are not only specific to the world of cosmetic retouching. Probably a better title for the DVD would have been 'Studio Techniques'.
These techniques are everyday tools which are used on landscape, portrait, in fact any image.
The tools learned here are all based on using Layer and Alpha Channel combinations creating the higest quality results with ultimate flexibility.
This DVD also teaches the benifits of adopting a fully non-destructive workflow while manipulating images using Adobe Photoshop.
