Third question: Are you ever happy with your work? If you see where I’m going with this, good for you but if not, fear not as you’re about to find out.

Working in Layers: To mask or not to mask?
Fastest way to learn retouching is by having 2 screens side by side, one where you load a YouTube video of a retouching tutorial and the other with Photoshop. Only then can you following faster, learn quicker and try more things than you would ever before.
However if its not a passion then fake it for some time. If you really have any creative talent buried deep within, in time it will surface but if it doesn’t, then your best bet is to look for something else you are naturally good at.
Imagine so many participants applying to get a shot at X Factor UK/US. Some are born to sing, others need to work harder and some are oblivious to the fact that they should be doing something else because they can’t sing. It’s even worse when such participants reject the judges decisions that they can’t sing. Feedback is crucial so get your friends opinion on your retouching work and better yet, get the opinion of strangers because they would be slightly more honest than your friends and family who are reluctant to hurt your feelings.
