In this lesson we'll retouch an image using a bunch of tips and tricks that will serve as practice for combining a wide variety of techniques. There's so much to learn that this lesson spilled into a second lesson that will be posted next week where I tackle the most difficult section of the image.Note: The downloadable practice image for this lesson has been compressed into a .zip file. I don't usually need to do that with JPEG files, but I discovered that the backend of this web site has a maximum JPEG size of 2560px in any dimension. To get around that limit, I packaged the JPEG file into a .ZIP file, which is something that web site cannot change. So, after downloading the image, you'll need to double-click on the resulting file to extract the JPEG file before attempting to use the image in Photoshop.
NOTE: Some Windows users have reported issues accessing the video playback controls. While we're working on the issue, here's a Temporary Workaround: Click "Introduction" in the table of contents to the right of the video and then immediately click within the video to give it focus. After doing so, use the spacebar to play/pause the video and the left/right arrow keys to scrub forward or backward within the video.
