In this video, I explain my file and layer logic in Photoshop, focusing on how to structure images for maximum control, flexibility, and clean retouching. I break down how and why pixel edits stay at the bottom of the layer stack, followed by light and color adjustments, model-specific masks, global contrast, and final film grain. You’ll learn how a clear layer hierarchy helps you react to client feedback, avoid retouching artifacts, and stay fully in control throughout the entire workflow.
