• Clean hair masking and edge work (no halos).
• Realistic background compositing abilities.
• Strong color correction and exposure balancing, particularly in uneven or mixed light.

• Legitimate Adobe Photoshop subscription (no cracked software).
• MacBook Pro Retina or equivalent high-quality PC laptop display.
