Clinique Shoot Post Production

In this series of Photoshop classes you’ll see the complete post production process for the Clinique-style advertising image that Karl shot.

This first chapter focuses on creating the group shot. This involves layering and compositing the final images, cleaning up the background and base surface, removing water droplets and reducing the reflection in the base surface. To do this, Karl uses a variety of tools and techniques, demonstrating how to work with masks, use the clone stamp and brush tool and adjust highlights and contrast.
