what are the requirements? (range of skills?)
- Basic clean up, remove distracting elements from shot eg,dirt, dustbin, power socket,etc etc..
- changing, tweaking colors, creating 'mood'..whatever.
- Excellent pathing and extraction skill including messy hair from any background for compositing. eg, combining hand from a shot, head from another..
- Placing elements from studio shot or stock photos into another photo seamlessly, with shadows,etc.
- extending background, eg from a portrait to a landscape shot,etc.
- Di is also about speed, if u do it in 6 hrs while someone else can do it in 2, then u have patience, and space for improvement. Retouching is never complete so knowing when to stop is also important.
- Whatever they desire..everything is possible, catch is it just takes time... But also knowing when to say "SIAO AR! reshoot easier & cheaper lah.."
- Its about using a software so much and yet every so often still discovering new ways of solving a problem.
Thats all I can tink up for now..heh
