Description
This advanced course teaches pixel-level retouching tailored to food, preserving realism while enhancing appetite appeal. You will learn frequency separation for flaky crusts and creamy sauces without plastic artifacts. A micro-dodge-and-burn lesson shows how to lift crumb structures and seed edges subtly. You’ll practice color range masks to correct herb tones and neutralize color casts from reflective surfaces. The course includes actions for crumb cleanup, plate speck repair, and edge crisping on cut produce. You will receive RAW practice files with diverse textures—pastry, grilled meats, glossy desserts—for hands-on practice. A sharpening workflow balances global and selective detail so images hold up in print and web. You’ll learn to build layered PSDs with tidy groups for easy handoff to agencies. A QA checklist helps you spot halos, banding, and over-saturation before export. By the end, your retouching will be invisible, believable, and consistently appetizing.
