I learned so many new techniques. It seems so basic but knowing color theory and which colors work best together absolutely transforms your images into more eye-catching masterpieces. I not only learned the basics but also applied them to editing. Alex is so great at being thorough and goes over many different Photoshop techniques so someone like me can find what works best!

One of the nicest tutorials I have come across. I really love learning the concepts behind anything that I am implementing over photoshop. Alex goes over the reasons behind the implementations, which preps it to be used over wide ranges of skin. I loved the stylizing part, the curves just got my subjects to glow! I have used these techniques on my recent editorials which got published into fashion magazines. Thanks much Alex! Highly recommended tutorial.

If you wondered how Alex manage to create such stunning shots, this tutorial explains it. The layout is extremely easy to follow and well thought through. This definitely changed my workflow for the beter. Not only is Alex an incredible photographer and retoucher, but also an awesome person. Give it a go, she really shares her entire retouching proses, from the raw right through to the exported Image.

Imagine paying thousands of dollars at an Uni and it take months of your time when it can be done for a couple of bucks and in 3HOURS. Everyone say thank you liquidverve!

I was the lucky winner of the recent giveaway and I am so so thankful! I had never won a giveaway, and as a starting photographer this is super useful to me! Great content, Alex!

I spent so much money over the last few years trying to learn retouching. I had the basics down but there was something still missing in my images. Thats when I found Alex's course here. It is by far the absolute best retouching course I have taken in quite some time, if ever. Alex's ability to describe and teach techniques such as dodge and burn, are amazing. She goes into great detail as to how to do it properly. Now my images look so much better. Alex is super helpful when I had a questions. After you buy courses, so many other teachers don't bother to write back, but Alex gives you her full attention and has always thoroughly answered all my questions. I recommend this course to anyone looking to take their images to the next level! She is brilliant and she knows retouching! Learn from her!

Now that the coloring portion of the bundle has been released, I can say this is with out a doubt the best bang for your buck when it comes to portait editing tutorials! Alex explains everything so well in a way that is easy to absorb. When I first bought the bundle in April, I was a mediocre editor and photographer and now I constantly get compliments on my style and editing. I feel much more confident in my work and I am always happy with what I create. Not only has the tutorial helped my editing but it helped my shooting too. I became more mindful of the locations I shot at and started to visualize the edit during the shoot instead of adapting my editing to the shoot. It would take years to find youtube videos with the information in these tutorials. Buy this product!

I bought this bundle a week ago and I sat down and watched them all the way through before trying it on my portraits. The amount of knowledge Alex has Is second to none! She does everything with purpose instead of just playing around and eventually getting something good (like I used to do) she made it very easy for you to develop your own style instead of just using her own. Since I’ve applied what I’ve learned, I have had so many compliments on my work. I can only go up from here. It is 1000% worth the money. So if you’re unsure about buying this bundle, just do it, invest in yourself. In just a week, Ive had more photoshoot bookings than I’ve ever had. I’ve made back the money just with the down payments. Seriously, buy it!

Alex is AMAZING! She goes fully into details on every topic you cover with her tutorials. I also really loves how she gives you a quick crash course of explaining each method before jumping into it, so you really get to understand why is it you're doing. 10/10 recommendation if you want to up your knowledge and skills with editing in photoshop.

Not only does Alex have amazing talent behind the lens and in front of the computer, but she also has a rare ability to convey her approach to editing in a concise, logical manner. This tutorial is incredible in the way Alex explains the basics of color theory, builds on the theory with available tools in Photoshop, and then describes the practical application of the tools. There's no fluff or filler in this tutorial, just chock full of useful information!

In these tutorials you will find everything you need to take your editing to the next level. Alex is very professional and she will walk you through every single detail imaginable. I have watched it over 10 times!

I have struggled with color grading for a long time but this tutorial is so easy to understand. Alex explains the theory and how to think through and the color grading process to get what you want out of each photo as well as having different color pallettes from one photo. I have such a better understanding of how to color grade my photos.

I've been editing for maybe 2 years - purely out of passion (not paid professionally). At my own pace, I've watched probably enough YouTube on coloring and portrait editing for a university degree. Alex has a way to explain and express the materials that I haven't heard. If you enjoy her work, I don't think she withholds much of her style and how she makes masterpiece after masterpiece.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Arbaz

She will explain you in details and in easy way more than any one I can say, I guarantee you. You'll find the easy way to dodge and burn and even a frequency separation , colour style and you can find your style too. I highly recommend this tutorial if you are beginner or intermediate.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

As a New Photographer I Often see amazing Images through Social Media and olso I want my images looks just like those in Instagram, But after expending hours on photoshop and YouTube Terms like Dodge and Burn and Color Grading are not explained in full details and thats when this tutorial came as a Bright light in the shadows, explaining the whole procces from start to finish and importing, it worth every dollar.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Rohan R.

Alex is an amazing photographer and retoucher, but that doesn't need to be said as her works clearly show you that. Here are specific things about the tutorials that she has produced - they are accurate, in-depth, easy to understand, and all that you need to become a good to a great photographer/retoucher. Alex is not only very knowledgeable, but also incredibly articulate in the way she makes these videos. I would highly recommend buying any of the tutorials and seeing it for yourself. All the best in your learnings!
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Daniel D.

Alex has always made sure to create quality work, and this is no less true in her tutorials. Learning dodge and burn techniques takes a lot of practice, but this tutorial will provide you with an extremely strong foundation to build off of. I was very happy to have supported Alex's work way back when she released her first retouching tutorial, and even more ecstatic when she updated it. tl;dr: This tutorial is amazing and worth every penny, and supports a fantastic artist. Get it.

With every single video, it made me think more about how I carry myself with my photography. Every lesson carried something completely fresh and brand new in itself! I finished all of these videos with a bunch of new notes and ideas that before watching, I wouldn't have thought of, or ever even considered! In Alex's creative mindset in everything she does, she definitely proves that not all great photography can solely come from the high-priced quality of gear out there, but from what you actually envision in the PREPARATION and COMMUNICATION of the shoot, or hope to achieve rather than just doing a photoshoot without giving much thought. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that's looking into photography! This is the kind of tools and education that's a good investment towards enhancing your craft, whether if this is a hobby for you or a career you're pursuing!! <3 Thank you, Alex!!
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Alfredo A.

Let me preface this by saying that I started doing photography a while ago and it took me a lot of time to realize that investing in education is hands down the best thing you can do to improve. Cameras, lenses and lights only get you so far, and you won't be able to make full use of them unless you have a solid base to edit. I bought this tutorial because I wanted to improve not only my editing skills, but the way I was approaching photography and I've gotta say I got more than I bargained for. I won't go as far as to break down the tutorial, but I'll say that in each part (Retouch and Portrait Editing) Alex does a wonderful job showing and explaining each of the necessary tools needed to create awesome edits in Photoshop. This is hands down the best Photoshop tutorial I've encountered and I would recommend it to anyone even mildly interested in creative portraiture, as it not only shows you what do, but really teaches you the tools so you can make them fit your own unique style.

I found it extremely beneficial. The matter of fact way you go about each topic was fantastic. I was extremely appreciative of your matter of fact presentation of certain topics. It made it a lot easier to grasp. As simple as this comment is, but the table of contents in the beginning that is time stamped, was literally my best friend. I was working through parts while studying for an exam for my actual work. So this little feature allowed me to hop to the points in which I wanted to hear your thoughts on immediately.  I can only imagine the time you spent in putting it all together. It, aesthetically, was incredible. The whole tutorial was fluid and easy to follow, and your sense of humor certainly lightens the mood. You really have a knack for this! Your knowledge and skillset, coupled with your personality, are a top notch combo for these types of products!

If you want to Learn D&B, then this is the One. Beautifully designed and explained. I'm fan of Alex's work and she has really done an excellent job in explaining everyting even to the tiniest detils.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Bram

This is the course you are looking for. I already bought a few online courses to improve my skills but I wished I downloaded this one first. It's so clear and well explained. Alex knows what she's talking about and you feel the passion when she starts editing. I recommend this course to all of you.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

DBeck

This is really a must-have for any portrait photographer. The tutorial was really easy to follow and after a few tries, I was able to dodge and burn with ease. Highly recommend this guide. It really goes in-depth and allows you to follow along.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Errevizualart

This is definitely the best tutorial. This update is more detail and very well explained. It makes you identify better the problem areas and Alex approach is more relax less like a teacher. I learned much more with this version and felt a very human side of Alex. This is super helpful and worth having on your retouching arsenal. Thank you so much for the update Alex. Keep up the great work.

Rodolfo P.

I really loved how Alex changed my way to edit in photoshop. Tutorial is really complete and exhaustive, I learned so many things about curves and colors. Thanks to the demonstration files included in the course I was able to follow step by step what is explained in the video and replicate it in real time. This is one of the most useful tutorials I have ever bought, and in my opinion it is worth much more than the price at which it is sold!
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Cristina

Alex is extremely talented and it's a pleasure to watch how she edits her shots. I really learned a lot, especially how to use properly curves (including some great tricks about them), how to fix skin tone and how to create a unique color palette for my edits. Every step is well explained and so much interesting. I highly reccomend this tutorial to everyone!
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Andrew S.

The techniques Alex displays in the tutorials are very refined and spot on ! Although some teachings are easily found for free it is very nice to have it all in one place to look at in a clear and concise Manor. The local dodge and burn technique she uses and teaches is the biggest piece I took away ! I wish there's was lot covered on compositing images as that is what I struggle with most but unfortunately it was covered much. This is not to say that the tutorial was a waste because it absolutely isn't.

Christopher

This is a must if you want to fast track your abilities and understand what you need to know to make it happen and produce great pictures. My only regret is that I did not see this when I first started photography. If I had I would have been way further ahead. Alex knowledge and teaching abilities combined with the video layout will instantly make you 100% better. Worthy every penny and is perfect for beginners, hobbyist to semi-pro photographers. 
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Alex S.

This retouch tutorial is everything needed to understand how to perform this very advanced technique! Alex was able to take something extremely difficult and explain it in terms that I believe a newborn child would be able to understand. It’s truly an exceptional product and second to none in the market. This was the first retouch tutorial I ever looked at and is perfect for someone who wants to learn dodge and burn but doesn’t even know where to start. Alex will show you the way.

Using a fine blend of technical ability and creative eye Alex provides excellent insight on how she accomplishes her artistic vision. This insight is instrumental to anyone looking to accelerate their learning with creative beauty photography.

Ranadeep R.

Have always been a fan of Alex's work and having this tutorial is surely a step up in the journey of retouching. If you aren't following Alex's tutorial or her work then you are surely missing something which is damn good. The way she explains stuff even a layman can understand.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Devonte T.

The tutorial is very in-depth from start to finish. Every question I had, Alex covered in the tutorial. I now incorporate everything she went over in my photos. I will definitely recommend this to everyone. Definitely worth if your are a pro or beginner!
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Christopher

Amazing tutorials that will insanely level up your abilities to produce content like a pro photographer, editor/retoucher and creative influencer. Everything about these videos will help make you better than most of the creatives out there and will position you up with the best of the best. Alex knowledge and signature editing style not only polished my editing style but also made me 1000X better. I was already a pro photographer and editor but after watching these videos I feel like I am on a whole new level. Thanks to Alex my social media presence and more importantly my photography business and editing & retouching classes I teach are flourishing.

I've been doing photography for about 4 years now and have competed in many editing competitions on Instagram when I discovered liquidverve. Her edits always blew me away and forced me to continually push myself but I could not figure out how she did her edits so I purchased her tutorial. I was skeptical that it might be something I could find easily on youtube or might be something I could easily learn on my own but just seeing her workflow and attention to detail made me really rethink my approach to portraits. Definitely leveled up my work as a result and I ended deleting most of my portraits off of IG because I know how much better I can edit them now.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Matt D.

Having shot landscapes exclusively for most of my career, the thought of photographing people scares the absolute crap out of me. Alex makes an otherwise daunting task seem so achievable. She shares so much valuable knowledge and lets her personality shine through making it a real pleasure to watch. Super excited to get out and start putting her techniques and teachings to the test! I can highly recommend this tutorial to anyone from a complete beginner, to someone with a lifetime of experience in other genres of photography, and even portraiture. Matt @itsworthashot

Oliver

I wa attracted to Alex' tutorials from her IG account. The colour palettes and theory shown on her account really attracted me to her tutorials. I can DnB I can FS Colour tones and editing this is part of curating for your feed or your specific aesthetic. this really does help in that space and gives the cohesive look of your concept. Really love the tutorial and her work!
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

S.m.p_photography

First of all, Alex’s voice is so soothing which makes it easier to listen to, as well as the atmosphere of the video. She goes very in depth about everything and the way she creates art. She gives insightful suggestions and advice to those who are new or experienced editors. Absolutely would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great upgrade in their editing style!
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

DeAndre S.

This tutorial is by far one of the best when it comes to advancing your “eye” for the little things as a photographer. Alex has such an amazing way of breaking things down, even if you are a beginner you would be able to catch on and understand. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to elevate their skills and knowledge!

Lainey

I have been a photographer for about ten years now (more professionally in the last 3 years). This tutorial was super in-depth and is a great recourse for new photographers; but also for experienced photographers. There were several elements that Alex brought up that I had not previously considered. There is so much I could say; but I will just say: I’m so excited to test out these new techniques in my upcoming shoots.   ~Lainey (psalm96pics)

Ben R.

Alex’s retouching tutorial is a game changer, I’ve been struggling with portrait retouching, and after watching countless YouTube tutorials felt more confused than ever, but after watching Alex’s video I know exactly what to do. Her descriptions not only cover what to do but why to do it and you finish the video with a great understanding of how light works and how to work with it to achieve great results. The video chapters are clearly labelled so it’s easy to dive back in and rewatch particular editing stages when needed. Genuinely couldn’t recommend this enough to anyone of any skill level.

Samantha

These tutorials are extremely comprehensive and easy to follow. I have been using photoshop for a little under a year. Recently, I purchased and watched the tutorial bundle and I have seen my work improve immensely since. The actions that come with it are also extremely handy! I've been struggling to find a great dodge and burn tutorial, and this is it. I would recommend this to anyone looking for some help with the finer points of retouching, no matter their level.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

John H.

Honestly, while I don’t use everything. This course taught me so much I didn’t know. Many of the methods I use in my everyday editing now.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Juan S.

Alex knows soo much about editing and teaches it in such an easy way to understand it all, it's amazing. The tutorial is also organized perfectly so you can watch it by parts.
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Lorenzo

The theory sections are especially well done in my opinion, I think even a toddler could really understand what's going on. know it may seem obvious, but many courses I've followed didn't have this feeling about them.

This is my first ever dab at retouching via Photoshop! Before this i was just familiar with the healing brush and did very minor things with it. I can totally recommend this to any new beginner or intermediate, maybe even expert. Alex does a fantastic job explaining everything I never knew. Before i go on, let me explain why this is different from just learning off any youtube video tutorial. First off, when you pay for something it means you are 100% down and invested in learning! I've seen many tutorials but none really fit my tastes or editing style. This one was different right off the back! Secondly everything about this tutorial was professional! The video and audio was amazing! High quality and easy to follow along. Kid you not when i thought i was lost... a couple seconds later she'd know why. I managed to take a lot from this tutorial and it actually made me want to retouch more of my images. Don't expect to be amazing right off the bat with this tutorial but with weeks of consistent practice you'll be right up there! So much knowledge gained from this! Overall i would recommend this tutorial to literally anyone in the photography industry. Thank you Alex for it! -@EduardoVisuals

Alex S.

This tutorial exceeded my expectations on all levels, which were already very high since I have watched many of Alex's prior tutorials and have even attended her live workshop. I will start my review with a bit of data around what happened to my instagram account after I watched her tutorial and started implementing what I learned. The VERY FIRST edit I did after watching Alex's tutorials and putting the lessons to practice got my most likes ever by a long shot. I received so much feedback on that post that I never heard before, such as how beautiful the color grading was. This tutorial is absolutely jam-packed with everything I needed to learn to take my edits to the next level. Alex is very clear in her explanations of these advanced techniques and imparts wisdom behind the thought process behind her edits too which is extremely helpul for me to understand how to come up with my own creative edits and not just copy her style. Amazing. My favorite sections were by far the color grading section and the narrative editing sections. I was cocky enough to have thought that I knew just about everything in terms of editing portraits but Alex shattered that belief as she explained things that I have never heard before and that you will never see on any YouTube video or anywhere else that I know of. These two sections alone are worth every penny to purchase this tutorial.  @alexanderthegreat

Alex Miller’s (@Liquidverve) Portrait Retouching Tutorial was so easy to get into and so thorough. I have been doing more destructive editing for years and never really grasped the whole concept of Local/Global Dodge and Burn. Alex broke it down to an easy to grasp theory and such an easy to follow guide. I’ve been using Photoshop for 20 years now and it was always great to learn new tricks. Plus, the tutorial was easy enough for a complete newbie to photoshop and editing to follow or grizzled veterans. Plus she threw in her actions and brush settings, it makes life easy. I was so confident after sitting through the tutorial once, that I went and did a live stream of one of the portraits I had that could have used some love. My followers on twitch were floored at how it turned out. If you do any sort of editing or retouching of photos, either professionally or just for yourself, do yourself a favor and pick up at least the Portrait Retouching Tutorial.  It will add a skillset that will get your photos looking so much better and give you command to add your own special touches to photos.  Alex gives you the tools to be better.
