Hei Justin , is this presets available for your any cource pack like Welcome to the Portrait Mastery Course Pack , because am trying to buy that cource
Hi Manu, Yes, each are sold separately, however. Here is the link for the Portrait Mastery Course Pack: www.justinlaurens.com/portraitmastery Here is the link for the Preset Pack: www.justinlaurens.com/presetpack Does that help ? -JL
I think you missed a point as to how you removed the shadow on her sweater in the front. You go from one image to the next still talking about exposure and colour etc then magically the shadow on her sweater disappears. How did you do that?
Um I think I know what you're talking about... I probably removed it when I applied my Skin retouching to the face & body (sometimes I will retouch tonal inconsistencies in the clothes too, to create a cleaner look). I use the same methods for that. Does that help?
@@justinlaurens Not really but at least I see what you did. Which tool do you use for skin retouching? If I use the AI portrait retouching in LrC or the new masking features just released do you know if it will give me similar results as what you have done in your image? Thx.
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 RUclips 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.
Great vid but one thing to note, try to avoid talking about specific numerical values in camera raw sliders as beginners will take this too literal and try to replicate those exact settings and end up disappointed.
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.
Awesome video man, the saturation and vibrance section really helped a lot! Also kind of off topic, but how did you get the magnifying circle around your cursor? I'm not sure if that's basic knowledge but that would be super helpful in editing 😂
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.
@@justinlaurens i understand your point and why you did it, yet i feel it is somewhat "misleading" to other people that would take a picture in that pose and think "how does she look that thin whilst posing like that?" (I actually don't really care that much lol, i just think about those situations)
Imo using and promoting liquify as shown in this video is neither a good nor healthy choice at all, alongside with the overdone skin retouching. Especially as the changes aren't subtle at all. Been there, done that - for years.
Great video but the fact that this models perfect body had to be "corrected" by the smallest amount with liquify because the stomach wasn't "flattering" is why so women have body image issues. Wildly disappointing.
🤦🏼♂️ I didn’t enhance her stomach or make it slimmer than she normally looks. I corrected an illusion created by her posture. Lens Correction inside LR also makes people look slightly slimmer. Next you’ll say that’s “wildly disappointing”.
Yeah Skin Retouching I find to be the most important part of any photo edit ✍️ I have a course which teaches you how to do it in the most effective yet natural way if you want to check that out. There’s too much to discuss in a RUclips video… let me know
Haha oops I should've used an arrow to show - it was mainly a change to the railing, wood and trees in the background. It was subtle though but easier to see on my laptop. 😄
@@justinlaurens oh yeah now i can notice, took me a couple times of replaying. also the fact that i have a type red-green colorblindness doesn't help ^^
Every is fine with me, I'm well known with the tips, and thank you for perfecting them. Just if I may, and excuse me... I wanted to let you know that models shouldn't be thinner than they are. It drives girls insane, and sometimes can cause mental issues. Perfecting the shot and colors is one thing- Changing nature is a different topic. Thanks
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.
Talk about over editing. You keep increasing saturation overall and then taking it back down in hsl rather than just adjust individual colors from the start
Yeah that’s not a good idea lol you want to bring up global saturation so that it’s even and then fine tune. If you thought it was over editing you wouldn’t have clicked the video 🤦🏼♂️

I like it, good idea thanks Eugene. 🙏 Thanks for watching man!
Like me
this is adobe photoshop cc 2022 OR Adobe Photoshop CS6?
Hi Justin! I wonder which editing/capture software you use for your videos?
Very Thank
My pleasure, thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any questions. 👍
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.
That's definitely something you have to discuss with the model prior to the shoot and prior to the edits.
@@IliaUsmanov absolutely. Communication is key with your models as to what they might want edited or not.
Info is best
Glad you think so!
I just edited the photo, I was wondering if i can post it on my IG
That’s awesome Yoelin yes you may but please tag me and the model so I can see :) I will share you photo on my Story 👍
Awesome video man, the saturation and vibrance section really helped a lot! Also kind of off topic, but how did you get the magnifying circle around your cursor? I'm not sure if that's basic knowledge but that would be super helpful in editing 😂
Thanks Josh! So that actually comes from the screen capture / video editing software actually.
Please free preset
Was this shot in Old Montreal?
Yes it was 👍
@@justinlaurens I thought that bridge and wheel looked familiar.
Can't access the link
I checked the links they should work. Which are you trying to access specifically?
@@justinlaurens the one with the presets
hilarious how you black out the Canon letters on the camera and keep the Sony prominent. things we have to do as Sony ambassadors... lol
Wait what? lol
I can’t download it for free
Yes you can the preset is in the Google Drive linked in the description
Me the entire video: 😃 Me when i realized u were gonna use liquify: 😔

Well I mean hopefully they watch that part of the video and listen to exactly why and how that is the case
nice
Thanks
Please
Presets are no longer free
They should be there free to download my friend

Yea, its to much fakery going on here... The color grading was great, but the rest was pure fakery.
Great video but the fact that this models perfect body had to be "corrected" by the smallest amount with liquify because the stomach wasn't "flattering" is why so women have body image issues. Wildly disappointing.

Lens Correction inside LR also makes people look slightly slimmer. Next you’ll say that’s “wildly disappointing”.
Color grading was great, but the skin retouching and using the liquify tool went a bit too far into the "unhealthy amount of photoshop" direction...
Yeah Skin Retouching I find to be the most important part of any photo edit ✍️ I have a course which teaches you how to do it in the most effective yet natural way if you want to check that out. There’s too much to discuss in a RUclips video… let me know
Insane job !
Underxpose team all the way haha 😁
Thanks so much man!! Yeah dude, gotta agree with you on that one. 🙏
"we're going to increase the greens because i like that it does to the picture"
also me: not seeing any difference :(
Haha oops I should've used an arrow to show - it was mainly a change to the railing, wood and trees in the background. It was subtle though but easier to see on my laptop. 😄
@@justinlaurens oh yeah now i can notice, took me a couple times of replaying. also the fact that i have a type red-green colorblindness doesn't help ^^
informative 11mins.

Did you pay attention to that section? I do not make the model thinner than she is.
@@justinlaurens Usually people edit the waists and other body parts fyi, but indeed I truly loved your tutorial. Very educational- Good job.
Please all preset give me Please boss
Hey my friend, you can get them here: www.justinlaurens.com/presetpack
Suddenly realized that the shoot looks like my hometown of Montreal near the Old Port.
That’s exactly where it is 👌
One picture 81MB??? WHAT is the trick boss
Hey bro! What do you mean? The RAW photo is 81MB or what?
@@justinlaurens Yes. What is the trick to get such a heavy picture
So I just shoot in RAW, Uncompressed. Let me know if that works. It could also be my camera, the picture sizes are typically quite large. 🙏
I can not see the free preset to download
It’s right there in the video description. Let me know if you can’t find it I’ll link it here for you
@@justinlaurens I can't find it still. Please link me. Thanks
VERY NICE I LIKE TAKE A PHOTO TO 3D EFFECT VREY NICE
Thank you, in that case take a look at my preset pack - they create the 3D effect in one-click: www.justinlaurens.com/elevatepresets
Just Amazing!
You're amazing... 🤩🌈
Thank you man 🙏 hope the video was helpful
Do you edit photos in 16bit or 32 bit?
8 sometimes 16

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.
That level of magic, its like isekai anime
Haha thanks Gabriel, and thanks for being a subscriber!
Very happy Justin I will try this amazing editing 🙏🙏👍thank you
Tara thank you for the kind words feel free to share your work with me on Instagram: instagram.com/justinlaurens
Brilliant !
Hey Phil, thanks man!
What's name of the model?
Eden Von Weiss @edenvonweiss on Instagram 👍
nice one
Thanks for the visit
Love breaking rules ❤
just use a difuser
Then you lose the dramatic sharp-edged shadows though
You are amazing 👏
I love your work so much ❤️
Thank you so much 😀 That really means a lot. Thanks for watching and let me know if you need anything / have any questions.
@@justinlaurens ❤️❤️❤️
nice
Thank you 🙏
I don't think the model would accept the orange forehead either.
Ah thanks for watching all the way up to that part 🙏
Very Nice 👌
