Developing an efficient post-production workflow is the key to achieving professional, top-quality photos. Particularly in the field of portrait photography, the ability to edit images quickly and thoroughly is often the hallmark of an experienced photographer. In this five-course Domestika Basics, professional photographer and photo retoucher Iris Encina walks you through her foolproof method for editing portraits in Adobe Photoshop, paying special attention to skin and hair retouching.

Get started by exploring Camera Raw, setting up your workspace, and adapting your interface according to your needs in order to apply preliminary corrections to your photos before transferring them over to Photoshop.

In the second course, begin retouching your photos in Photoshop and familiarize yourself with essential features such as the Liquify filter, the Healing Brush, the Clone Stamp, and the various selection tools.
