When I was a kid in Jr High in the 70s. my best friend had a B&W dark room. During printing, to dodge he would put part of his hand or an object (shaped paper or something else) between the enlarger lens & the paper, creating a shadow. To burn, he would block light to surrounding areas by arranging hands w/ a hole between them or cutting a hole in paper sheet. It was locally controlled exposure, then into the chemicals. I'd help, which would come in handy doing digital images much later.
Another great video! A good way to show retouching and get instant feedback from your model, I'm definitely not brave enough to attempt though lol... Keep up the good work! What do you think of the acquisition by Canva? I'm hoping for good things but let's call it... cautious optimism, because I know some are worried about a shift to subscription based. I know they clarified that it'll always be a perpetual license option, but time changes all things so we'll have to see.
Thank you man. Yeah. I thought it would be a fun a different way to show a retouching video. Yeah. I was initially worried, but it seems like they want to keep the perpetual license going. So only time will tell. Looking at it in a positive way, hopefully this will give affinity a bit more resources, to make affinity photo even better. But we’ll just have to wait and see.
Thank you very much. Tried to make this one a little more interesting than just your standard tutorial. Glad you enjoyed it. Also a fan of your channel!
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. Thought I would try to do something a little different than the typical ‘watch me retouch’ video. I hope to do more with different models and different portrait styles.

That’s really interesting! I have shot film before in the past, but never developed my own film. Things have changed so fast!!

Always appreciate the support.
My friend. I had given you advice on a previous video. It saddens me you did not take that advice. Lots of room for improvement.
