    Being more a Lightroom user and not familiar with the myriad of ways to retouch a portrait in photoshop - this engaging instructor seeks to outline THE most useful tools. Now - with AI - some would be considered obsolete - but necessary to understand how to achieve the same level of results as with AI. Well done!
