Video Training Review: Portrait Magic with Susi Lawson - Page 3

Winter Wish (four videos) is a significant collection of training in Photoshop. In this series you will see how to create the image on this page. You start by cropping the image. Next you will clean up the skin and perform other fixes to get it just right. You will create snow using brushes; you will also see how to experiment with different brushes. Finally you will add additional effects via the dodge and burn tool to add highlights and other enhancements.

I found Portrait Magic incredibly easy to follow and the techniques are rather easy to use. You will find yourself amazed that these simple techniques are all that are needed to get such superior results.

Portrait Magic is available from Susi Lawson Photography for $80.00 plus shipping and handling. Better yet, Susi also has two other videos, Photoshop Magic and The Fine Art Of Photoshop which you can buy all three at a special bundled price.

If you are still not sure, what I suggest is that you check out Susi Lawson's gallery over at Susi Lawson Fine Art Photography to see some of her work. My guess is that before long you will find yourself wanting to see how she does it. I highly recommend Portrait Magic.
