Sounds very good, especially the explanation of the each tools strengths and weaknesses. Looking forward to it.

Hi James… yup! Knowing which tool to use for which retouching job is part of the course. There is a reason photo RAW has several tools.

Not too much longer, Kenny! 🙂

Really looking forward to this. I’ve had minor success getting rid of simple elements, but I really need to learn how to get rid of people and more ‘complex’ distractions. Thanks for this!
Scott DavenportApril 7, 2019
I think this is the course for you then. Enjoy!

If Scott can make me clearly understand the subtle differences between Retouch Brush and Perfect Eraser, I’ll be happy.
Scott DavenportApril 8, 2019
I’m sure going to try, Michel! 🙂

Watched them all and have to say it sharpened my skills on removing objects and how to look first as to the approach to handle the job with which tool (s) to use! Thanks sharing with all os us.

Hi, I watched the video tutoria about deleting objects or people who distract the vision of the photos, and as a result seems to me
Very good.
A unique to be remarked on vs products in general.
are only in the English language
You are deleting it so it is not easy to recreate what you show me also using the slowdown of the video
And last of the times that I have reported my poor thought I never had an answer
Thank you!

Excellent course, gave me a better understanding of the retouch tools. Found your explanation of the ‘divide and conquer’ use of the clone tool particularly helpful.
Scott DavenportApril 12, 2019
Great, Robert! Glad you enjoyed it.

Great course. But, boy, the power lines in the “Mail Box” photo are really annoying. What is the best way to remove them?
Scott DavenportApril 12, 2019
I’d recommend a combination of the Clone Stamp Tools and the Perfect Eraser. For example, the lines in the lower right corner. Use cloning to maintain the edge of the mailbox post whilst introducing a gap of sky into the power lines. Then, use the Perfect Eraser to take care of the rest of the lines.

Thank you Scott. You’re an excellent instructor. Really appreciate you sharing how to select the best tool or set of tools for a given situation. This is a very helpful session.
Scott DavenportApril 13, 2019
Thank you, James. I am really happy to hear you enjoyed the course. Have fun retouching!

I just watched all of the videos. Great job! I was already familiar with all of the tools, with exception of the layering technique. Watching the videos and being able to work along with them was super helpful. The pagoda image also helped me better understand different ways to use the tools together. Much appreciated!
Scott DavenportApril 13, 2019
Hi David, great to hear! So glad you found the course valuable.
Holly MasepohlApril 13, 2019
Thanks for the course Scott. You did a great job explaining the different tools and the practice files definitely helped highlight where each tool excels. Also excellent tips on combining tools. I’ll feel more confident using these tools in the future.
Scott DavenportApril 14, 2019
Excellent, Holly. So glad you enjoyed the course. Have fun retouching!
Kenny WrightApril 14, 2019
It was worth the wait Scott!!
Scott DavenportApril 14, 2019
Awesome! Thanks Kenny… made my day 🙂

Nice job…really helped me pull together the 3 fix tools to use in tandem. Pagoda image was a good one for practice…I removed a couple of additional distractions (for me) and then decided to make it look like a found old image … likely could have used the original image (<:
You certainly make ON1 membership the best deal in town!
Jim
PS: I recall the last video said we could post our results … ???where
Scott DavenportApril 22, 2019
Hi James… you should be able to share photos inside the ON1 Plus forum.
Glad you enjoyed the course!
