Thanks, everyone! Here's the link to the retouching technique I use:

I was trained by the Glitterguru herself in this technique. After about a year of practicing I'm finally getting it right.

To get the color right I just increase the contrast in Photoshop to 10 - 15. It makes the skin glow & saturates everyhing. I'd also highly recommend the Glitterguru's book too:

It's amazing!

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.


 

The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.

You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
