Portrait Edit and Retouching in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop CC (with Content-Aware Fill)

In this edtiing tutorial I cover some of the basics of developing a RAW photo in Lightroom and how to remove distractions using Photoshop to create a stronger image.
I walk you step by step through my edit and retouching, explaining my thought process so you can improve your post processing skills.
In Photoshop, I teach you how to remove distracting objects like hydro wires, rocks and street signs as well as how to sculpt the light to direct the viewer's eye to your subject.
Tools Used:
- Lightroom CC : lens correction, basic panel, sharpening and noise reduction
- Photoshop CC : lasso selection tool, feathering, content aware fill, layer blending modes, brush, vignette

Great tutorial Chad. I had to take notes there were so many great tips in this video. I'm definitely going to revisit some of my images and try using content aware to remove hydro lines (bane of my life:) "in chunks."
