Any good tips or tricks (skin texture improvement, lighting/tonal correction, makeup enhancement...ect)on Photo Retouching also welcome!
Thanks!!!
 
There are so many good links found with a google search on photoshop photo retouch but remember each retouch generally has it's own unique problems like color touchup, dust and scratch repair, adding removing backgrouns etc.

Look for links that explain how Curves work, curves are one of the most important tools for photo retouch. There is a great Curves site that I saved somewhere and I'll look for it for you, it's invalueable.

Russell Brown (one of the photoshop original team) has a good site at : where he explaines sharping, masking, clone and patch tools that are all very essential. The link offers Quicktime movies that are very well done.

I've been retouching for 6+ years and still learn new techniques all the time.
 
Found the curves link:

Quote fron link:
I’m going to start this essay with a provocative statement: Anyone who is, or wants to be doing image editing at a professional level needs to be as comfortable with Curves as they are with breathing. Is that bold enough? Do I have your attention now? If I were forced to give up all but one image adjustment tool, the one I would keep would be Curves. Think of Curves as your one–stop–shopping source for improving images the way the pros do.
 
Thanks! Those sites will be really healpful!!
