Retouching Academy My Library

All-in-One Beauty Retouch Bundle

From beginner to commercial-work-ready retoucher.

This bundle combines 4 (four) of our most impactful courses to take you from your first beauty retouch to becoming a retouching professional trained in techniques, methods, file handling, and post-production workflows that commercial clients expect today.

▶︎ Created by Julia Kuzmenko McKim and Michael Woloszynowicz, professional beauty and fashion photographers, retouchers, and educators. Every lesson distills decades of combined industry experience into the refined retouching methods we use in commercial work. 

Who is this bundle for?

The sequence of the courses in this bundle is designed for photographers and retouchers with basic Photoshop skills who want to learn beauty retouching at a professional level and produce high-quality work that meets commercial client standards.

Commercial beauty visual standards have changed significantly in recent years. Most brands now expect real skin texture and more natural retouching results, while still asking for final images that feel elevated and refined. This type of “polished while natural” look actually requires a more advanced retouching skill level, and these courses teach each technique to its full depth, so you have the range to take your retouching as far as your client’s brief requires.

You will start with a beginner-level introduction to the tools, techniques, and workflows, then go deep into skin and hair retouching. After that, you will learn how professionals handle client files and client projects, as well as advanced approaches to the techniques you will have learned at the basic level by then.

We teach a lean-PSD approach and a non-destructive workflow, so client revisions never mean redoing your work from scratch. The most advanced of the four, the High-End Professional Beauty Retouching course, adds expertise beyond technique: file handling, proper PSD file structure, business etiquette, and the methods commonly used in a professional environment when working in-house.

Once internalized through deliberate practice, these workflows open a range of paths for your career:

  • offering retouching services to paid clients along with your photography;
  • in-house retouching roles;
  • creative agency work;
  • or remote freelance retouching work for top brands from anywhere in the world.

Most of our Avenue studio retouchers took RA courses and use our methods and workflows.
