Black and White Photography Post Production Revealed - Create Beathtaking Portraits in Photoshop
Are you trying to get the perfect black and white images but still something is missing?
You are in the best place to start. Get your skills to the next level and create outstanding black and white images in Photoshop.
In this course i will show you something that no one did. I will teach you how to make your images dynamic, clean and full of contrasts.
I am professional fashion and beauty retoucher as well as photoshop educator with well over 5 years of experience. I work with magazines, tv, websites, fashion designers, hairdressers just to make sure their images look great.
One of my favourite and most outstanding images are those in black and white. But it’s not so easy to master it. I know the right way.
We will start simple from raw conversion and I show you to what you need to pay attention from very beginning. I will also show you how to clean up you image.
After that we will jump to fun stuf! I will show you how to get the perfect contrasts - I will show you how to adjust the contrasts by simply working with masks. I will show you how to create and work with luminosity masks as well as how to use color range to work with lights and shadows, how to get the perfect selections and get amazing control over the light - which is criuical for bw images. You will be true PRO in working with masks.
This is not everything. Because I will show you work to work even with most detailed things like lips, eyes, ahir or part of the warderobe. Except getting everything whats best from the masks and using power of channels, I will show you how to get even more contrasts by mastering Dodge & Burn Technique. You will see what areas can be dodge and burned to not ovedo or destroy your image!
At the very end of each section I will be showing you my final steps of work with camera raw software, which is very poerful in adjusting the final contrasts or working with the grayscale.
And all of this working with this beautiful portrait and beauty images!
Which is not everything because in the final sections we will jump to the fashion images and i will show you how to get the strong look and perfect balance between the black and white!
Do you want to push your photography and retouching to the highest. This is the course for You!
Enjoy!

Instructor knows his subject but his accent and the way he speaks English is very hard to understand and sometimes I simply cannot make out what he is saying. English is not his first language and it shows. I'd give one or no stars to UDEMY for their absolutely awful software that is used for turning the lecture into a transcript. it can't figure out what he is saying so it fills in with words that are nothing but gibberish. UDEMY could do a whole lot better if they wanted to. Like getting better software.

Desde los comienzos, paso por paso todo explicado con todo lujo de detalles. Gran cantidad de maneras de conseguir un b/n realmente genial con fuerte contraste. Personalmente he disfrutado cada minuto de este tutorial. La única pega son los subtítulos, ya que son demasiado genéricos y no corresponden mucho con una traducción correcta. Recomiendo sin lugar a duda el tutorial. Y si conoces el trabajo de Marcin Mikus y su modo de enseñar, sabes a que me refiero y su material es cremita.

Course content is fantastic and worth the cost. It has helped me further my goals in becoming an editor. To make the future courses better, every action need to be fully verbalized. When an action is performed make sure to verbalize what you are doing even if you have done it once already. People don't learn by telling them once, it's through repetition we learn. When doing an action make sure to let the students know why an action has occurred, such as, why is Photoshop making a particular selection when working in the Blue Channel's? Section 7: Master Black and White was needs improvement on this. I am a very quick learner when it comes to understanding, but I had to watch many times to understand what was trying to be communicated to me. Hopefully, the rest of the course get's better. Great content, but need to convey what is going on and why every time. Thank you for helping me become a better editor. Great Stuff!
