In this course i will show you what are the most common type of jobs requested from the clients, when you are freelancing as a photo retoucher, and how to complete those jobs successfully.

If you want to become a successful, and profitable freelancer as a photo editor and retoucher.. you DON'T need to be a Photoshop expert , but then again, you do need to learn how to use the most frequently needed tools and techniques, that will get you ready to finish successfully most of the projects that you will be hired and payed to do as a freelancer, and this course is all about those most required tools and techniques.

My name is Igor Risteski, and i'm a top rated freelancer on Upwork, with 100% job success, and i made this course based on my own experience while freelancing as a photo retoucher.

From my experience, big part of the things you will be hired and payed to do.. are far from expert level, but this doesn't mean that you can fool around, get payed, get good ratings and long term paying clients without making an effort.

Although you don't have to be a Master in Photoshop, you still need to master a couple of things that i will teach you in this course, and if you do that, then you can use those same techniques in a wide variety of situations, and provide excellent results to your clients.

In this course i will show you:

how to use the pen tool,
color correct,
body reshape,
dodge and burn,
make mock-ups,
portrait retouching,
change eye color,
multiply eye lashes,
thicken the eyebrows,
add and remove tattoos,
folds removal from cloth,
how to make advanced and precise selections that will help you to get best results all cases,
logo removal,
color matching and changing,
teeth whitening,
compositing and matching the color and brightness to different backgrounds,
how to select hair in different ways,

and everything else in between..

You can follow this course with the free trial version of Photoshop, and practice everything that i will show you in this course, by using the same 25+ images, and actions, provided in the resource section.

Learn all of this, and you are good to go.

Then after working as a freelancer for some time, you will wonder why you didn't start earlier, believe me, i would never go back to work a "regular and normal" job again.

You will need access to Adobe Photoshop, you can use a free trial version of it, and be willing to practice and learn.

This course is for beginners that want to learn the important things first, and get ready to start freelancing as a Photo Retoucher
