Smart Objects and Smart Filters for Photoshop

www.TheArtofRetouching.com - Whether you’re retouching portraits or composites, Smart Objects is and always will be the right way to go. In this short session, I will tell you all about the magic of Smart Objects and Smart Filters.

For any retoucher, it’s important to develop a non-destructive workflow. Smart Objects and Smart Filters will give you the ability to go back and forth between your actions without permanently damaging your photo.

Smart Objects vs. Pixels

I often get a lot of student submissions that use pixel-based information in portraits. This becomes very problematic because when I ask them to go back and make changes, they would have to resort to building on top of their existing layers, or collapsing their layers to create entirely new ones. Because pixel-based information does not allow you to revise adjustments you have already made, it can pretty much eat up all of your time and waste all of your effort whenever you need to change something.

The most effective way to work is to use Smart Objects in your basic portrait workflow, and for a quick how-to, go to http://www.TheArtofRetouching.com where I explain all this in more detail.
