With most productions and shoots on hold during the Coronavirus crisis, the topic of post-production and photo retouching has dominated conversations with the renewed effort for increasing our chops in this area. On a recent episode of This Week in Photo, host Frederick Van Johnson discusses the fine art of professional photo retouching with world-class retouching and compositing artist Pratik Naik.

During the interview, Pratik offers his unique insights on pro-level retouching and post-production workflow, as well as provides a hands-on demonstration of some of his pro tips and techniques.

Additionally, the conversation concludes with Pratik providing a brief demonstration of his color grading tool, Infinite Color Panel, which works in Photoshop (Creative Cloud). It’s a smart color grading tool that expertly randomizes a set of adjustment layers to create a unique look to your images, and so much more.
