Palle 491 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 So lately I've been doing a lot of photo retouching because I'm going to a apply for a job that I found, which involves a lot of retouching of cosmetic products, jewelry, models and clothing for various companies. Now I need to improve my portfolio for my application. Please take a look at these pictures and give me your opinions; Is it good? Anything that needs improving? Too much? The first two pictures are before-after of the same image, one natural and one that has a bit dreamy, almost painted effect. 1: http://fav.me/d735zsg 2: http://fav.me/d7360qd Here's another I made two days ago http://fav.me/d72xgkd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deterioration 443 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The one thing that jumps out at me is beware of making images blurry, the subject look fake and creating different texture areas within an image. When you airbrush and/or use layers at different opacities over one another you start losing texture in the image. Different images have different textures going on in them depending on areas of exposure to light, if they’re color or B&W etc... A great way to combat this is by using selections and adding grain. (Filter/Texture/Grain) Again images are different some have large grain some small, you can fuck with the settings in PS. But by adding grain you can reintroduce texture back into an image by using a layer at like 2-15% depending on areas. Take her cheek for example. If you have 20 layers for her cheek and you have it looking good but there is no texture select the 20 cheek layers copy and merge the 20 layers into 1 and add grain to that over top of the 20 original layers. Then mess with that layers opacity to dial it in. If you mess around with it what I’m suggesting will become clear. Adding low opacity grain to areas you’ve airbrushed will bring the image back close to original. I’m sure you’ve seen a porn image or 5,000 where the girl is so airbrushed that she looks like silly putty. Over all I think they’re good!

I completely understand what you mean, I really didn't think of using it when retouching photos. It kind of adds that photographic value right back instead of leaving it looking like a painting. I gave it another go with the same picture, using another technique and adding microscopic uniform noise to the blurred out layers on top of the original image. The extra layers are all copied from the original by using the lasso tool, then blurred out with gaussian blur with 4/8 pixel radius and after that, I lowered the opacity of each layer to 45-70%. Then I added uniform noise to each individual layer, about 4 pixel radius on a picture that is 6400x4047 and 225PPI. Here's the result http://fav.me/d73af44 For reference this is the original picture http://www.moviehole.net/img/Mary-Winstead.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe later retouching models too, I don't know right now. Thanks, I'm pretty satisfied with how the last one turned out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
