Once the client gets back to me with their pick(s), then I start working on the final
image(s)—first in Lightroom, and then, if necessary, I jump over to Photoshop.
In this case, since we'll be doing some more involved portrait retouching, we'll jump
over to Photoshop for that stuff, but the process always starts here in Lightroom.
Step One:
Once the client emails me their pick(s),
I go back to the Selects collection in the
Library module and I label it as Red by
pressing the number
6
on my keyboard
(I don't usually do this, but you could even
make a separate collection with just their
final picks and name it “Client Selects,” but
that's totally up to you). In this case, the
client only chose one shot (which I marked
with a Red label, as seen here).
Step Two:
There are two little tweaks I want to make
here in Lightroom before heading over to
Photoshop, so go to the Basic panel in the
Develop module. The first is to increase
the Exposure amount just a little (it might
be a tad dark), so drag the Exposure slider
over to +1.15. Next, we need to remove all
the quickie retouches we did earlier with
the Adjustment Brush, because now we're
going to start from scratch and do the
serious final retouching over in Photoshop.
First, click on the Adjustment Brush to
make the Edit Pins active (make sure the
Show Edit Pins pop-up menu in the tool-
bar is set to
Always
), then click on a pin
and then hit the Delete (PC: Backspace)
key to remove it (you'll see a little puff-
of-smoke animation—as seen here on the
top-left side of her head—to let you know
the pin has been deleted). Go ahead and
remove all the pins.
