This year Adobe presented a panel in Sundance's New Frontier creative space: "From Script to Screen - How Technology is Empowering Filmmakers".

In PART TWO we connect with the panelists and learn how technological advances impact, inspire, & and influence their workflows.

About the panelists:
Tyler Nelson - Assistant Editor, House of Cards, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Social Network

Bill Yukich - editor, music videos (Shakira, Pitbull, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and commercials (Volvo, Coca-Cola, Proctor & Gamble)

Bayan Joonam - Head of Production, SoulPancake

The end goal of a good retoucher is to make their work appear invisible while creating some alternative reality. In this case we're going to look at one method I use for adding a tattoo to an image while making it look like it's really a part of the original photo. This method involves placing an Illustrator file (the tattoo source image) as a Smart Object, using the Free Transform/Warp Tool, adding a Gaussian Blur (to adjust the 'Focus') and then finishing it all off with a lighting effect created from a Channel Pull.
