Thanks for your reply. I was just curious :)

@gramps Just a quick question as few days have passed, do you regret going back to CS6? Do you miss CC features?

There is no "right or wrong" as such, you can always say it is your "artistic vision" to do things in a certain way, but there are some things in retouching that are a good practice and help you to speed up the process. It's fine if you have time to spend however long you want on each file, but...

Always have that checked. It will be no different in CC. I'll just go for it. I don't think I have much choice. Besides most of my work is manual so I doubt I'll use many of the new gimmicky features (I could be wrong here though :)).

Yes, the above works in CS6 as I have used that before.

Thank you. I'm going in the opposite way to the OP. Resisted moving to CC for years, but as I do more and more PS work, I feel like I'm missing out on the latest features and giving my competition the edge. I am worried that if I change my mind and want to go back to CS6 all my newest work...

Great news. Thank you for that :)

I never sharpen anything until the end. How can you know what to sharpen and by how much if you still working on the file. I work mostly on studio shots (beauty, glamour, etc.) so I don't have to play with noise reduction. In RAW converter it is all about the basics, exposure, shadows...

As above just make the brush 'soft', ie decrease the hardness.

Talking about going back to CS6, I was on Adobe technical chat yesterday and they claim all PSDs created under Photoshop CC won't work under CS6 or any other older PS. They say it is not even possible to open them. Could you confirm that for me please as it is a bit of deal breaker for me.

As said above, why does it matter what is reflected in the glasses if you plan to replace the reflection with a different one anyway? I'm confused. Or did I get it wrong?

I have asked them repeatedly not to, but they insisted and hung it in a gallery ;)

Thanks Richard :) His expression looks like he isn't actually playing because he wasn't at that point :D Well spotted. As I said earlier, this was beginning and he was only warming up and posing. Later, when he was properly playing his expression was much much better and you can see the passion...

Well, people keep saying "it's not what I expected" and I am not sure is that a good thing or not (probably not) :D but anyway. I opted to send him a printed version instead of digital file. I wanted him to see a finished product, rather than some 1s and 0s. Also when I was there, I noticed that...

It printed nicely on Platinium Pro paper. It is quite an interesting print / effect. Depending on the level of brightness when viewing, it can look like almost silhouette when the conditions are a bit darker or proper portrait when lighter. This is just a phone snap of the print
