Don't Make This Photo Retouching Mistake

This is just a quick thing that I noticed a lot of beginner retouchers do. I know it's tempting to remove everything that is considered an imperfection, but it's usually those things that make that person who they are. A lot of beginners make this retouching mistake, but you should know to stay away from permanent features when you are retouching your subject in your photos. Hope this quick tutorial helps!

Yeah really good point. I remember one time I took photos in school, the photographer really wanted to get his job done. In the end, my face looked unrealistically perfect, kinda scary. Like perfect wax-skin and such. Freaked me out. I prefer authentic photos of mine. I never use filters and such when taking photos of myself. :D
