Challenge Image: Prom Part 2

In this lesson I tackle a challenge image that needs a lot of retouching to remove flyaway hairs and are crossing over both the background and faces. I also show how to smooth out a harsh transition where a face is half in shade and half sunlit.

Note: The downloadable practice image for this lesson is the same one that was attached to last week’s lesson. It has been compressed into a .zip archive, which means you’ll need to double-click on it to extract its content before attempting to use the image in Photoshop. To get to the point that it was at when it was opened in Photoshop, click on the Snapshot icon (overlapping squares icon) on the right side of ACR and choose bottom snapshot.
