Your videos are amazing and so helpful. Thank you so much! I see you don’t post as much, and I totally understand but I hope you resume someday soon. Your channel is one of the best!!

This is the BEST cloning/healing tutorial I've seen because you have explained WHY you're doing what you do and you answered common questions. Looking forward to the next one, Vera. Best @traceyjophoto

Wow.....beautiful finish 👍

[@ЮлияЗимина-ш2у]

Thank you Vera! What are your clone stamp flow and hardness, please?

[@tetianakhotiaintseva562]

Awesome videos, thank you so much! Do you have any advice on dealing with bad skin texture (such as very dry skin, flaky skin, acne beyond a few small blemishes) and color problems (redness, dark under eyes, uneven skin tone)? I realize this problem does not exist in beauty photography, but it does exist in portrait photography where your client is just a regular person. If a large part of the skin has problematic texture or color, it can be very difficult to fix it with clone stamp/healing brush as there may be no suitable patch of skin to clone from. And, this is not something that D&B can help with. Any help is much appreciated 🙏
