I have expensive ‘branded’ boxes and cheap ‘sino’ ones. Sure they shape light, but they are not built the same.

With images so heavily retouched/manipulated now a days it is very hard to ‘see’ what modifiers actually do? In reality, 99% of us could not tell ‘exactly’ what modifiers were used on any shots.

I probably didn’t explain myself well enough. I am doing the youtube route etc. but I find it difficult to find good consistent content. I was also looking for some more walkthroughs to shoots from starts to finish. As a beginner I find it hard to learn a technique when the shots I have done look completely different from the shots that they are using.

I suppose I’ll just go back to looking on my own.

YOUTUBE! GOOGLE! DAFUQ! If you don’t mind learning yourself then you would already be using those instead of wanting it handed to you! If you get how to shoot like this then you will see it hardly has been retouched, unless retouching to you means adding saturation and adjusting color….

Yes but it’s non destructive in the sense that you can return to the original file if you use masks and layers. If you dodge and burn using the tools you are stuck with however many undos you have preset.

” basically any non destructive process for Photoshop” when you change the value of a pixel you destroy it. Photoshop lies

Yes thanks I will look into this. It would be nice to see a complete shoot though in terms of we see how this shoot was done and then are just plonked with the final images with no talk of the post process.

You mean, retouching for fashion and beauty? You can find tutorials on Dodge and Burn on Youtube and Vimeo…and basically any non destructive process for photoshop
