Excelente curso, realmente me sorprendido, primero tomé uno anterior para conocer lo básico de photoshop y ahora este sencillamente es como lo que necesitaba para tener un conocimiento más amplio y acabados profesionales. Recomendado.

Curso que cumple su misión, enseñarte técnicas de retoque fotográfico en retratos. Hecho en falta una última clase práctica que aune todo lo aprendido durante el curso a modo de resumen.
Correcto en cuanto a calidad /precio

Muy buen curso. Paso a paso y con didáctica clara y sin prisa. Fotógrafos que no dominen la herramienta de retoque en photoshop, como era mi caso, aprenderán de forma segura. Recomiendo de verdad!

Ottimo corso.
È proprio ciò che serve per il ritocco della pelle. Non pensavo si potesse arrivare a tali qualità e in così poco tempo.
Sarebbe il massimo avere i dialoghi nella lingua italiana, renderebbe molto più facile l'apprendimento.

The course is informative but it would be better if the resources could be in English as well. But I would still recommend it.
