Thanks for including me in your list (#42), loads of great tutorials here, especially the ones about mixing exposure.
Nice collection of tuts
Oh, thanks for featuring my tutorial (#1)
Nice list, interesting design
It’s disappointing that you included several retouching tutorials that include blurring the skin. Any retoucher worth their salt would never blur the skin.
The colorization tutorial is awful. It’s never wise to begin a colorization without color being applied to the entire canvas. The end result was very artificial.
Thank you Danny for useful tips…..
Xcellent Tips!
Thnks dude…
This is good stuff. Makes me want to sharpen up my photoshop skills.
Great collection…
Great Collection Danny, Thanks for Sharing

Wow … I’m amazed by the collection of tutorials here. Great quality and so useful. Thanks for sharing. :)
loads of people are using that ‘colouring a Black and White photo’ now. it’s even becoming quite popular in wedding photography. but I think it’s a little tacky. anyone else?
i definitely will make use of some of the retouching tut here… it;s really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
