As photographers, you should focus on making your client look their best, but do not transform them into someone they won’t recognize. The rule of thumb with retouching is to be subtle enough that it’s not even noticeable that you did it.

So if you need to dust off your editing skills, these are the five steps to brush up on retouching in Photoshop.
