Brilliant tutorial … as always!
I accidentally deleted the file of the completed tutorial, is there any way I could get it so I could brush up my knowledge, don’t really have time to watch it from the beginning. Would be very grateful.
Outstanding tutorial, it covers so much from retouching to compositing, so many tips and tricks for better and faster workflow, just great all around.
We cover so much in this so gracefully that by the end your tool kit is doubled and your satisfaction is quadrupled! Another Top Lesson!
In-depth tutorial! Definitely picked up some new tricks I wasn’t expecting to learn.
Outstanding Tutorial! I’ve learned so much, thank you!
Fantastic fun tutorial using a range of tools and techniques to create a very cool looking portrait. Quality entertaining instruction from Aaron makes the course enjoyable and easy to follow.
Where is the download for the action and brush?
Thank you for your work, I learned a lot of new tricks, I really love averything you do for us!
love this tutorial, and even went so far as to shoot my own model so that I could create my own interpretation. Terrific work Aaron
really a great class, i learn a lot in this class
What a fun to do this tutorial, but when i see, this guy use the pen tool, OMG, i hate this tool. But when i see how easy Aaron use it, i wonder. Now i have to learn it of course. Thank you for this work Aaron, After useing PS about 10 years i learnd a lot of things with this work. By the way, your english is too fast for me :—) but i have eyes to see what you are doing, so i can follow you easiely. Now i Go to learn pen tool for the next great work. Thank you so much Aaron.
Wow……one of the best tutorial i think. I will use it next time and upload my work. Thank you so much for sharing.
This tutorial is awesome and I have learned beyond expectation. I also like to see when Aaron doesn’t like an approach and goes back and shows another way of doing things such as adding noise for skin texture instead of using the clone stamp tool. For a beginner like me it was a bit fast, but fortunately I have worked true Photoshop 101 – 301 so I was able to follow. Now that the work is done it is also a good reference file if I can’t remember how certain things are done.
Thank you Aaron and PHLEARN team for this awesome tutorial. I have posted it on my Instagram and used the tag #phlearn
Awesome Tutorial. It was a bit fast and I’m glad I did Photoshop 101 – 301, else I don’t think I would have been able to follow along.
Anyway… I’m so happy and glad I did this, so many new techniques and tricks I’ve learned and can always go back to the reference file in case I forgot some stuff. Thank you Aaron and PHLEARN team for this awesome tutorial.
This tutorial is quite attractive. Other courses are also practice slowly.

Hi~ I have a problem about the payment. I got your Pro Tutorial for several time before, but this time to have pay a tax when I get this one. Is it necessary to pay this?
We have to charge sales tax for anyone who live in the state of Illinois, it’s just the way tax law works. I’m not sure how you got around it on your previous purchases, our new shopping cart is much better at administering these types of details.
Olá tudo bem , não falo inglês e sim português . Queria parabenizar o editor por esse lindo trabalho .
Queria sabe se posso comprar a aula via Paypal ? Lembrando Pagarei em dólares .
Yes you can pay with PayPal.
My previous review is gone? I think it was a great PRO but I missed the Behind The Scenes-video in the PRO-package.
Hi Fredrik!
Can you let us know what you mean when you said you “missed” the behind the scenes?
