The first challenge! In order to get your speed up and your quality consistent, Rafael, Lety and myself thought we should offer a weekly challenge file. We will start with a little easier file, and then get into a more complex file. Above I went ahead and retouched the file in under 2 minutes. Here is a link to the original file, so you can start to practice. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ip8rptkcocjdp5i/AAAjT0bEi3rUHTNx6xlS1hULa?dl=0 To answer Andrea's question, this is for you to practice getting your speed up to where you want it to be. There isn't really a requirement to get this done in any specific time frame. But, please comment below on how quickly you were able to retouch the image after several trys. We would like everyone to be able to retouch this image within three minutes. It will help you get faster and it will start to train you to go through the steps each time you retouch an image. Good luck!

Hi! I just saw this post and I wonder if there is a date to deliver the final image or its just for practice?

Hi Andrea! there isn't a specific timeframe, I just want you to use it for practice. We are hoping to start the Beta Testing next week, so it will be helpful for you to start training yourself to get quicker while not sacrificing quality!

Hi Kristin! I got 2 min 10 sec on this picture, I've been practicing the steps and also putting commands on some of the steps to help me not waste time.

Lorena, great job! I will put another image on shortly. I think putting commands into place and developing systems within photoshop will ensure your repeated success.
