looking for some advanced tutorials for dodge and burn and just retouching of people.
had been using blur techniques but am really trying to push onto a professional level now and that just doesnt work.
The bes thing thing i can find is the art of dodge and burn dvd. Its looks extremely good but at over £200 pounds that is just silly.
Could anyone recommend anything free or a heck of a lot cheaper..
thanx :)

Hang tight. I will post links in the next few days, but any tutorial you could find on 50% grey D&B and D&B using curves would get you in the right direction. If you need further links, shout back.

With all due respect ignore all the six revision links, stick with mild healing and cloning and as you want D&B.

Looking forward to seeing your results :)
