Following my recent film showing you how I shot the Mentor Portraits project back in South Africa, this is a follow up tutorial showing you the full editing process in Photoshop; from retouching, to dodge and burn, colour toning, sharpening and contrast control all using adjustment layers, masking and blending modes. I hope you find it helpful.

More than two years and still one of the best and most helpful videos for this subject. Thanks so much, mate!
It's not only postprocessing, this's art!
I don’t understand why there were some people who unlike this very informative and helpful video. I just started getting serious into photography last month and your videos are helping me a lot from a technical and emotional standpoint. Keep up your informative and inspirational videos. More power and God bless.
Negativity is just how some people communicate:)
@@seantuck Oh well it’s their lost anyway. Btw, I am new sub and so glad that I found you channel. I’ve been practicing your process specially the one speed lite indoor set up. I’ve been doing with my daughter as my model lol. I now understand how you make and edit those great coloured and bw portraits of your mentors. For me, they look alive when you look at them. Hopefully I’ll be able develop that level of skill through your channel of course.
Excellent video Mr Tucker
Brilliant video, very helpful and informative. Excellent Channel. Many thanks for sharing.
You just turned a good photograph to a piece of art. Marvellous. Thank you, Sean!
I’m an entry-level/just starting photographer, but i watched this Guy about 2yrs ago, when he had about 1000, or so followers, didn’t really post many videos!, but now, this Guy makes Thomas-heaton look like nothing!, yep! He’s way more advanced than I should be looking at, but, I can’t help myself!!. The Guy just pulls me into his world!!....
I love that you always bring opacity all the way down and then build up as needed. This is such a helpful tip.
Thanks April:)
I've watched this tutorial when it was released and I'm still coming back because it's just that good!
Hi Sean, I'm a beginner fotografer and completely new to photoshop (like 1 week ago I purchase it) and the level of options and interface in general scared me when I run it first day. I tryed some tutorials for beginners but they focused more on general things and didn't have common sense for me. Then I found this video and I decide to give it a go and study it carefully following every step. It takes me about 4-5 h to pass all video, make proper notes ( 6 pages😂)writing every click on your way and play few other vids in a mid time to understand other things and Boom!!!!! I edited my first portrait successfully. There is still many, many things to learn and improve but in general I think is a perfect way to learn photoshop for all beginners that want understand Ps just because it gives u goal that u can verify at the end and things start having sense Great job on this one. Thank u very much.👍👍👍
Wow, fast but GREAT...thank you. All your video's are extremely helpful and honest!
one of the BEST short tutorial on portrait editing..... Thank you sooo much for sharing your knowledge with the photography community. Excellent!!!! Learned in one session more than one of those 1 day paid seminars (here in Orlando FL it's almost at a scam level now) Again Thank you for your time.
