Full Portrait Retouch Workflow: Cinematic Color Grading with Complementary Colors

Описание: Hey guys! It’s Kat here ✨
In today’s video, I’m retouching this portrait from start to finish and showing my full Photoshop workflow — exactly how I think about skin, volume, and color!

This edit is all about cinematic color grading using a complementary color scheme: cold highlights and warm shadows. I’ll walk you through skin cleanup, Dodge & Burn, creating soft skin texture, global shaping, and intuitive color grading — no over-retouching, just controlled and intentional work.
