Hey- this one goes to any photogs/models who do their own retouch work on digital images.

Can you point me to any good online tutorials for doing retouches? I've got a stack of images here that need work, and my skills at this particular kind of thing aren't all that hot as of yet.

drat. none of the sites I tend to use are up.

How about you share what you are trying to do and I tell you how? What version of photoshop are you using?

are you just retouching it or do you want to really clean it up a lot.

The best bet is to play with the contrast, and color balances by hand. Levels can help a lot too. They are all under the edit/image menu.

other things to do:
-unsharp mask is our friend.
-healing brush and clone stamp tool rock.
-curves, but run it as a filter.
