This project was created during my second semester in Digital Photo II: Digital Imaging<\/strong>. Using Adobe Photoshop, I explored various retouching techniques such as blemish removal, color correction, digital shaving, and overall image enhancement. Each project focused on refining techniques such as blemish removal, color correction, digital shaving, and overall image optimization. Photoshop’s advanced tools allowed me to seamlessly smooth skin, enhance lighting, and remove distractions, resulting in polished and professional-quality edits. These exercises not only showcased the transformative potential of photo retouching but also helped me develop a deeper understanding of digital imaging workflows.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
