i agree zooming in is a big problem, but a solution to that is to have 2 windows open of the same document side by side. @
Eli Infante
Dexter Fernandes Great suggestion! I’ll try it out 😁
@@EliInfante sure mate
Do you sell your presets
I work in a professional dedicated retouch lab, and if you don´t mind, I´m gonna say a few things.
1- we never use the whole picture (duplicate the background layer) as a clean layer. You´re adding size and consuming RAM memory for nothing. Just use simple empty layers; as many as you need (and name them). The only exception is if you need to use the patch tool for some reason.
2- the first round to clean the skin should be in one of those empty layers (clone and healing brush) and not on the FS process. Imagine you need to correct someting with the mixer brush and in that spot you need to clean dust or any kind of dirt, that dirty spot will contribute negetavly to the blur color effect.
3- You are absolutely right that for a perfect skin, we use just D&B. And for some reason its called Micro D&B (and not "local"). The reason being that its done on pixel level. You have to be constanly zooming in and out to get the whole vision, but its done "pixel by pixel" with a much smaller brush. You should go to the properties and set Shape Dynamics and Tranfer to Pen Pressure. Ah...usually it takes 2 to 3 hours (and not 15 minutes :) )
4- When setting the help layers, why use a 50% grey BW? a simple BW layer is enough. You can use a contrast help curve and be constantly adjusting it, or simply drag it down...and disable it in the darker areas.
5- Global D&B its done also using curves. Adding as many as the diferent parts you´re accentuating - because each one will have their own oppacity and point position of the curve. This way you should have a diferent curve in the face, another one for the torso, one for the background, say another for the lower part of the body, etc...
6- On color gradding, each one does it their own way. Using Selective color is very good. But if you´re color correcting the skin tones...mask it to the skin only (so you don´t affect the rest). You adjusted the cyans and imagine your client had blue eyes... You would be affect them. Its a matter of routine.
7- Glow effect is awsome if you do it on Color dodge blend mode in an empty layer filled with black; just paint white or any color you want with 2 - 3 % flow. Try it :)
8- -2 vignetting is unnoticeble... More in this image that has the cornes dark enough
9- The are 5 specific blend modes that behave diferent to oppacity and fill. The Normal blend mode is not one of those.
10- For a final comment, just to say that there is a fabulous thing called "Fade" (Ctrl + F ). It would have done you a lot in this specific tutorial. You can just fade your last brush (for example) without having to mess with oppacity and affect the whole layer.
Hope this was usefull for all.
Keep going!!
Rui Coelho Totally man! Thanks for taking the time to write the feedback. 😁
Thank you so much for adding this feedback
i want to know if you have a channel that explains all these?ll love to learn from you too as a beginner
Thank you for adding this.
Totally agree with everything.every time,you use FS,its not legit any more to use the definition "high-end" for any further step you do.Sorry but no
Love your style of delivering all these useful message. Great job. Keep up and can't wait for more!!!
Thanks for the feedback Jason! :)

Thanks Kerry! I have a couple BTS photoshoots in my channel.
Thank you! ^_^
As always, it was a very informative video.

Thanks bro!

Its coming soon Derek! :)
Hola Eli!! you are a reference for my portrait photography. I just started with it, but I am enjoying it so much. Your edition process is really amazing . I am shocked you spend so long in these details that are hardly seen (but perceived) by the rest of us mortals. Hence the quality of your work (the devil is in the detail)
Thanks a lot for sharing
You are so welcome!
Wonderful video. Thank you for all the info. Would love to see a dodge and burn video!
Thank you! You go it Milissa I'll be working on that video soon.
We want more and more videos of capture one ! Thank you mentor for this awesome videos✨Love from Nepal
Thanks for supporting man! Capture one videos coming soon :)
I haven’t watched yet but ❤️ your shirt!
Thank you! It was a Christmas gift from my brother and sister in law.
i love it
Thank you!
Thank you for such a detailed demonstration and explanation.
I solved my confusion because of watching your video.
You are welcome!
Thanks for this video! Yes please do a Dodge and Burn video AND a Capture One Tutorial. You Rock!!!
You rock Vic! Those videos are coming :)
@@EliInfante EXCELLENT! NO NO NO ELI. YOU ROCK!
Jajajaja todo el pex. Suscrito. De hecho tengo Capture One, but I already paid Adobe Cc and it's a lot to learn. Thanks for sharing. Success
Thanks for the sub!

You are very kind for supplying a raw image file
You're welcome!
More! Excellent
Thanks Calvin! :)
Very nice video, tnx, greatings from Croatia 🇭🇷
Greetings from Texas! :)
thank you very much very interesting
Glad you enjoyed it
With lots of Love, from Zambia
Thank you Tony! :)
Thank you so much, a very well done, informative video. I am wondering about a few things though. You make quite a bit of color/luminosity adjustments using two selective color layers, but then you go into camera raw and make a great deal of additional adjustments including to the colors. Is there a reason for adjusting in both places, or is it just how things turned out? I am also wondering about the tweaks of the calibration sliders in camera raw. It would be nice to have some words about what effect you are looking to get with these, as opposed to the HSL sliders, split toning, etc. I also play with calibration a bit, but I tend to shoot indoors without flash and so I sometimes need to make some radical adjustments for the colors. :)
Amazing work which I dearly enjoy watching! But Yes...Mooore Capture One Por Favor!!!!
Capture One tutorials coming! Thanks for the love
Really nice tutorial and photo itself, I like it at all! On other hand, is sense and worth (in time manner) to polish everything to create "new person" end even worse, only to have an IG picture?
Tom Mino It’s totally subjective Tom. It’s really going to come down to how the photographer wants to edit their photos. Thanks for the comment 😁
Bro...I love this man! San Antonio tacos are waiting for you man.
MMMMHHHHH Tacos!!! :)
Muchas gracias.
You're welcome Jose!
excellent video😃😃😃😃
Thank you David!
U are doing well and my interest is more on the color grading...
Thank you! Make sure you watch my color grading videos :)
you need to do a class on lighting :) I would love to check it out. Was this just one light or two?
I want to eventually create a light video on my channel. This was a two light setup.
Hey Eli, when you export from C1 into PS and finish working there and save it back to C1, are your colours off? every time I open the saved file from PS back in C1 the saturation and clarity seem to be a little off. Thanks!
love this! and where did you get that shirt manito? thats my all time favorite book
My sister in law and brother got it for me.
Sir your really helpful. I learned a lot from you. Is it possible for you to have tutorial on camera setting please.
Hey Ronald! Thanks for the feedback. I plan on doing a camera settings video at some point.
Definitely a dodge and burn tutorial
Yes sir I'm on it!
please do a dodge and burn. your video is so useful
Its coming Gabriel!
This is such a good photo! What specific camera and lens did you use for her original shot? I'm using a Sony 6100 and a 50mm f/1.8 lens. Any tips how to get a portrait shot like this for a beginner?
I used the Sony A73 with the Sigma 135mm
Are your actions pack included Global, Detail Pop, Contrast Pop and Red Lum? I really like your work. Thanks!
Yes sir!
Great video! Please do make a capture one edit video
Will do Serge! I have some ideas brewing :)
Great tutorial!.. Please do a D&B video.
You got it Richard! That should be my next video :)
Hello Eli, what would you suggest for a new photographer. To take a photography course or to learn from the professionals?
I really want to get on as soon as possible.
If you're referring to retouching purchase Pratik Naik's Master Course.

Hi, new sub. Were you ever in a teaching cert program RGV Act? You look so familiar. I think we were in the same class! Wow, so proud of you and your success!!!
Hey Anna yes I was in RGV ACT :)
Full tutorial on Dodge and burn plz🙏🏻
Yes sir! Working on it :)
YES
I hope YES is a good thing!
@@EliInfante hell yeah it is!
Nice
Thanks Santosh!
oiga compa, estan bien chingones sus videos, pero ando todo revuelto, tendras una lista de los videos para verlos de manera ordenada desde nivel basico, nivel avanzado y terminando con lo mas perron que tengas? por el amor de la virgencita haz esquina no seas asi!!! plis!
please teach us how you made these nice actions. and tell us more about burning. thank you sir.
MReza H Ghorbani I have a video on dodge and burn on my channel.
Do you find that the 400W is enough for lighting outdoors? I am trying to get into more OCF with my photography and do alot of shoots outdoors, during the days and things.
Some people I see use 200-400W and then others I see use 600W+ strobes for their shots.
I am on a budget somewhat, so I am looking at the Neewer Vision 3 and 4 as starting options for some more powerful OCF.
400W is good enough unless our shooting midday. You will be shooting at full power.
Very Nice Video! Do you have a video where you set up all your actions the way you have them under your "Infante 2019 Actions"?
If you're referring on how to make the actions I'm sure you can find something on TH-cam. If you're talking about how I use each one I have a video when you purchase them. I hope that answers your question.
@@EliInfante That answers my question. Thank you. See you at WPPI!
Eli - I’m a fan from Corpus. Do you think you might put out a video that talks through your Sony custom settings and why that set-up works for you? Just switched to Sony and looking for some help from folks like you, Francisco, and Keydrin. I’d write to Francisco as well but it sounds like he and his family are going through a challenging time con la suegra.
Great idea! I'll be working on that soon.
Your work is beyond awesome. If you ever have spare time, can you make a full edit video from start to finish without using the pre created actions.........
I would Kevin but the video would be too long. The purpose of actions is to speed up the process.
Let's go for some Capture One edits! :)
Yes sir! I already have some ideas :)
This is a photo Amazing 🔥😎 good 🌺
Thanks for the feedback! :)
Thx and subs!!! ❣️
🥳
Hola. Sería genial que tenga subtitulos en español. Saludos!!!!
el tutorial esta bueno para hacerse una idea general del proceso, pero intente hacerlo a la vez y cuando me tope con las acciones ya no pude avanzar más porque son de pago :( igual gracias por guiarnos en algo
can we pleaaaassseee get that dodge and burn video...... ASAP
Hahahah I'll try my best Simba :)
Can you do a dedicated dodge and burn video?Appreciated
Yes sir its coming soon! :)
I see you own the Sigma 135mm art lens. How do you like it?
I LOVE it! I would review it if I used it more.
Plz if u are not using a tablet what will be the capacity and also the flow for especially if ur are using a mouse ...
It would be the same :)
Ponle subtítulos 🙏🏻
Yes sir! Will do
I wish that I could find a video that teaches the functionality of lightroom and Photoshop. I myself find it hard to navigate throughout the software. Maybe even go into the basics what to do first in lightroom and or Photoshop.
I have one video covering Lightroom.
Eli Infante thank you do you know the title to it?
From Syria 🙌
Texas here! :)
Nice one, with proper workflow, but too many excessive steps, like the actions in ACR - all these could have been done initially in C1, as well as tweaking the skin tones to look great in C1. The skin tones in the "Before" were too greenish (again, this is where the powerful skin tone editor in C1 comes into play) and in the "after" they turned too reddish-orange, but this is strictly a personal thing :) Keep up the good work and enthusiasm, Eli! :)
P.S. One more thing - noise/grain must be added at the very end of the workflow and not using high pass or any other sharpening over it. :) Cheers.
Alexander Ivanoff Thanks for the feedback man! 😁
@@EliInfante, nothing to thank me for, mate. I admire your efforts and energy you put into these videos. :) Keep it up.
I have a question 🤔:
why u use Curvs layer for d&b and don't use D&B 50%gray layer? 🤔
and about the zoom in for retouching I make 2 window, first on 50-70% zoom and second on 130-160% zoom, I think is a good option 😇✌️
I use it from time to time. Right now I use 50% gray for global changes. Thanks for the suggestion man on the zoom!
Amazing shirt.
One of my favorite books of all time! :)
Eli Infante same here. The lessons from masterpiece has been instrumental in changing my life
how settings u use to upload to instagram??? I am loosing so much in salve process to up there
Neno I have a dedicated video on my TH-cam Channel. Check it out man and see if it helps :)
can you do a tutorial without actions?
Probably not the tutorial would take too long.
What is the name of editing software appear at first.
Please.
Capture One :)
Please do a tutorial on how to edit like BR Football!
Que?
@@EliInfante BR Football es una cuenta de Instagram, siempre he querido editar como ellos.
Would be nice to see a before and after at the end to see how all those microscopic tweaks impacted the image as a whole.
True! Thanks for the feedback. I'll do it in future videos :)
Sir make a Dodge and burn and skin retouching separate video
Yes sir its coming!
Shocked when i saw that much grain, good tut overall
Thanks bro! Texture is different for each image.
Eli Infante totally wasn’t sure if that was added or from cam
i had no idea you could make actions
Yes sir! It's amazing and it will make your workflow faster.
we need dodge and burn tutorial in detail
You got it Faizan! :)
Lovely. I'm watching this video, in the same time I've opened IG and I saw, scrolling my home, the #street_ninjas post with your photo of this girl but different pose and your tag on the description :D Lovely coincidence. Im going to following you right now :D
Thank you so much Gaetano! Thanks for the love and support :)
