Pro4uM members often emphasize the importance of starting with high-quality images that have excellent lighting and flattering poses. This foundation makes the retouching process smoother and ensures professional results.
Pro4uM threads dive into specific techniques like frequency separation for seamless skin work, dodging and burning to enhance contours, and eye-enhancing methods to make your subject’s gaze pop without looking unnatural. Members also share their favorite Photoshop actions, plugins, and brushes to speed up workflows while maintaining control over fine details.
