    Nice work. I would also add a caution to people who use warp tools to manipulate the bodies of one's subjects. Sure you can make them look more flattering and "ideal", but people can also go way too far with the warp tools making things look unrealistic, and it could be insulting to a model if you alter their bodies.

    I use a special form of frequency separation and local dodge & burn, which I teach in my course. Skin retouching is honestly the most important and nuanced aspect of portrait editing and it would be impossible to cover everything in a KZread video. There’s a lot to consider. I’ve tried using other AI features but the results are never nearly as good as taking the time & care using professional methods.

    It is just to correct the awkward posture not to change the way the model looks. She was hunched over and it made her look wider than she is in real life it was an unflattering illusion that she would not have accepted in her current form simply because it’s not an accurate representation. It’s a simple correction I’m not suggesting people use Liquify to make their models slimmer than they are.

    I really appreciate all the tips about shooting in direct sunlight, but the editing side of this feels a bit too much. That might just be my personal taste but I think if you took everything you did (especially the liquify) and dialled it back about 50-70% it would be a more flattering, but still realistic end result.
