5 Mistakes Retouchers Hate!
This video was somehow forgotten in the migrating from the Blog, we just realized it today so I am reposting for those that have missed it!
Oh how slowly they learn. After taking excessive measures I have finally been able to convince Michael of his mistakes. He's fine...recovering from his dehydration and allergic reaction to the duct tape quickly...he should be up and running in the next few days. Granted the Doc did say his lip swelling will take a little longer, thankfully he loves drinking soup through a straw!
In all seriousness these 5 errors are easily corrected during the shoot. STOP BEING LAZY. Digital has helped out in many positive ways, but the the worst thing that happened is causing a lazy photographer syndrom. I don't know how many times I have heard "I'll fix it in Photoshop", well I say...screw you take a good picture!!
A wise man once said "Photoshop is to fix the models imperfections - NOT THE PHOTOGRAPHERS!"

Blown highlights!!!
Come on you have a Histogram...use it!!!

Clone the entire shirt...really...here's five bucks go get a yellow shirt at Wal-Mart!!!

CUTTING OFF TOES!!!
Really!! This works well...no toes look AWESOME!!!

CRAP COMING OUT OF YOUR MODELS HEAD!
Look at all that black space to the right of her head...could've gone there..but you didn't!!

Need I say more!!! WTF!!!!
So, lesson lived...lesson learned!! Moral of the story, don't be lazy...remember the film days!!!
