Hey everyone, im looking for some tips on how to retouch like this. Kinda looks like its airbrushed and cartoony. Im guessing frequency separation? But idk where to go from there. Thanks 🙏

Let's be honest, India has always had a significant presence in the digital retouching industry. Since I started working in this field, India has always been a reference for offering large-scale services at prices well below the global market.

Recently, I have noticed a significant increase in the acquisition of Brazilian workforce in the post-production industry. I work in one of the world's largest consultancies, which has hired many post-production professionals to work on projects in other countries.

Additionally, communities have been reporting a series of hirings. It's inevitable to notice the relationship between India and Brazil, both in terms of population and currency power, which is a gold mine for companies looking to spend less on labor. I don't know if professionals in the field have already noticed this movement or if they have paid for work from Brazilian professionals considering the low prices, or if this type of hiring also occurs in other countries like Argentina or Central America.

I also can't say whether this practice strengthens the Brazilian market or impoverishes local professionals.

What do you have a hard time with? What is something you have trouble figuring out how to do? I'm always curious
