What you'll learn
In this Photoshop tutorial, we'll learn some advanced photograph retouching techniques. We'll start by removing some wires from the sky. From there, we'll tackle a variety of challenges that many photo retouching projects encounter such as removing buildings, comping in another photo to help add believability to the background, color correcting certain areas and cleaning up anything that might detract from the photo without making it appear as if it was edited. By the end of this Photoshop training, you'll have tips and techniques you'll need to be able to tackle your own photo retouching projects.
