great job on the hair, background, and lips. i'd personally blast the post-processed face once with a really soft eraser at ~25% opacity, and leave the eyes as-is. the whiteness of the dress flowers also got lost. assuming before = left and after = right

>>4153266
this is a man. the added warmth is questionable. it distorted the tree color, brought out the masculine bone structure, and blew out the sunlight. also the fire sign removal is rather clumsy (you can see the pixels)

pic: auto white balance, subtle curves adjust, unsharp mask. the before side is *after* focus stacking
>>
>>4153271
it's well done, it corrects the sense of "horror movie with dead doggos" to "a comfy cloudy day" without dipping into HDR status. i do wish there was a bit more depth of field but i guess you can't just add that in photoshop
>>
>>4153289
yeah it was quite overcast so i had to open it up. i actually find it tricky to get nice colours without making it look "deep fried" when correcting for such a heavily overcast light. it's always given me trouble if i'm not bringing lights or a flash.
>>
>>4153291
diffuse sunlight = easy, overcast = hard. there seems to be little middle ground between overly dark/grey, and full-on HDR meme tier

but what do i know, my post-processing (pp) skills suck. currently trying to figure out how to best use astrophotography software to calibrate/reduce noise, and ideally some biology software to automate focus stacking

i might just actually redo the whole "pizza microscopy" photo shoot done thus far. i need better raw material, calibration frames, and i forgot to photograph a stage micrometer to make some scale bars. there's a lot of weird math you can do to estimate distances based on your camera sensor n shiet, but i found that simply photographing a known interval of say 100 um is best

Please look up and learn how to use frequency separation to remove the glare from the oily skin and soften up some of the texture bumpiness.

you can also use it to help with the fire sign removal. and to clean the window. and the skin glare and harshness of the highlights. The shadow effect is cool in the before, but the clipping of the highlights in the after is off putting. Use localized masking or luminance masks, PLEASE

>>4155315
>>4155313
You sound like you know what you’re doing anon, so I’ll ask you, the doggies are mine but as you can see the original shot was dull and gray because of the overcast day. How to counteract this in camera, if you don’t have lights? Is it even possible?
>>
>>4155346
when shooting, you would pay attention to how the light is landing on the dog. i would try to get him with light on his face, but ive also sucked like 7 dicks.

i don't know what you did to this photo but your edit looks fine to me. the exposure isn't always right if you're in automatic mode but the raw files usually have plenty of flexibility. i would have bumped the exposure slider until the dog looked right, and would not care about blowing out the sky at all.

if i want to increase contrast in a color photo i add a very fucking subtle luma curve. a LUMA curve. an rgb curve destroys the color.

>you sound like you know what you're doing
ive sucked 9 dicks

It's threads like these that remind me why my fat girlfriend refuses to let me ever take her picture in any context.
>>
>>4155375
damn. you could potentially make her look really nice though. tell her she can have the images and you won't post them anywhere without her. also, how fat
>>
>>4155410
She's 175 at 5'5 and South Asian (higher ratio of fat to lean mass than other pops). She won't let me anyways, I've asked multiple times, making promises along the lines of what you have suggested.

>175 at 5'5 and South Asian
i.e. very fat for a woman. We're talking gut spilling out of the pants, saggers touching the floor, neck's gone.

Of course you did. Cavemen are easily amused.

The only "women" who are insecure over men are trannies, because men don't want them. Real women are only insecure about other women because even the ugliest women can find a man no problem. The only people nobody wants are mentally ill, mutilated freaks.

Keep the contrast and shadows as they were and bring up the highlights and the whites a smidge more

Remember she's a lil oder and you want to soften her features with the light i understand going for fidelity but you're doing a portrait not documenting

its a 40mm f2.5
and if its sonys own 40mm f2.5 G then thats a lens that preserves more contrast and saturation in shadow details than some of the zeiss batis lenses. probably one of the best 40mm lenses on the market. its like what 1-2 years old? and its already being used in fashion and fine art more than some of the 35mm's. already saw dozens of snoy togs use and promote this lens so it must be real good.

Unironically the first one looks better. Better contrast, skin looks more alive (arm is too desaturated and face lacks contrast), eyes look realistic instead of Blade 3 cgi.

>>4153271
Great, simple edition, does all it needs to do. No cheap tricks.

Wow you managed to make the model look much older, and her skin darker, which probably she would not like. News flash: It doesn't make the picture better.

Thanks. It still looks a bit dark for my liking, but with the strong gray overcast i can’t really brighten things much more without getting into that “overdone” look. Even with local edits like gradients and such, just doesn’t look much better. Overcast light is still a challenge.
