    3 Module - fast skin retouching with Frequency Separation

    In this module you will learn how to use frequency separation correctly to retain skin texture. This method allows to retouch skin quite fast without loosing too much texture.

    This technique is perfect if you want to get first amazing results quite fast. But if you want to bring out the most of the skin texture you definitely need to go to the next module and learn the method dodge and burn.

    4 Module - high end skin retouching with dodge and burn.

    There are many videos and tutorials about this method on the web. For me, it was always difficult to speed up dodge and burn in order to save time. Before I discovered my small life hack in dodge and burn it took me about 2-4 hours to retouch skin with dodge and burn. With my life hack you can speed up the time for skin retouching to 20-40 minutes!
