In this video, I walk you through my entire professional headshot editing workflow — from the moment the shoot finishes right through to final client delivery.
This is not the same process I used in the past. As new tools and AI-powered plugins have evolved, I’ve consolidated what used to be a long, multi-app editing process into one powerful, streamlined system using Retouch4Me plugins inside Photoshop. The results are faster, cleaner, more consistent — and still look completely natural.
If you’re editing headshots day in, day out, this workflow will save you hours every week without compromising quality.
