In this tutorial, I want to address some common problems that I see a lot of my students come up against (and I do too!)
Whether you are shooting in a studio, your living room, up a mountain, or on the street, there are a few things that often come up.
I'll show you how to fix these, quickly, so you can get on with the creative part of retouching!
Enjoy!

You're so cool Chris!... 😎 Would like to know what you're retouching process tips are (if there are any) with your sun moody outdoor portraits you make in California? And can only agree with Michael Stahl that I would love to attend a photography course with you - then I'll try to plan and make it a part of a vacation (living in Denmark - Europe ;-) )

[@portraitsbyms]

Great. Man, I would love an extended, on-location, course with you.

I have watched the video and love it. Great information. However, I can't get the RAW file to download so I can follow along. Can you help? Maybe something I am doing wrong, but I have tried many times.

[@ronlacy2507]

Just some further information. Every time I try to download the RAW file for this tutorial, I receive the RAW file for your How to Create an Awesome Portrait with Lightroom and Photoshop tutorial. Perhaps that will help to sort this out. Thanks, Ron

[@chris-orwig]

Thanks for the heads up. I must’ve uploaded the wrong file or some thing. I’m traveling today but let me take a look once I get to a computer. Thanks again! And I’ll try to get this resolved
