Blak Coke

[Nicolas Alary]

Hey guys !

The lightbox you helped me built is working full-time and I wanted to share with you my last job :

By the way I strongly recommend the SIGMA 50MM EX DG MACRO that I bought recently to shoot those commercial stuffs and so far it's excellent ! Cheap, sharp and reliable !

wow...that's some awesome work. what type of PP was involved in getting this great effect?

Also...Coke Blak? That sounds so gross...coffee and coke? ew.

It's actually pretty good, but I wouldn't drink lots of it. Nice photo

I had a stock of that stuff once a long time ago. That stuff ruled.

 

[rnimages]

Thats really awesome. Great colour contrast.

I see no fault with it other than extraneous reflections in the mid-bottom of the bottle.

what type of PP was involved in getting this great effect?

PP = Post Production ? It's a lot of Curves for tones and contrast combined with a lot of blending masks to work on very specific areas. Then I added a lot of pattern thanks to some cool brushes that I blended in the image with the transfer mode. I set you up a little Before / After Roll-over so that you can see what has been done.

Thanks everyone for the feedbacks !

That is very cool. Great work...

 

[dbrandon]

Amazing photoshop skills. That 'before and after' left me speechless, such a transformation. Brilliant

 

[Alpha]

Fantastic post-processing.

 

[Nicolas Alary]

Thank you guys ! I appreciate !

 

[laguano]

i love your work, Nicolas!
Is it possible for you to show us your post processing techniques?

 

[Nicolas Alary]

It might be impressive but it not a really complex post process.

- CURVES for tone and contrast
- ALPHA MASK for selective correction
- BRUSHES for the flourishes pattern

That's the best I can tell you, if you want me to do a tutorial that could be possible but I work with no method just the "feeling" so it will be a bit confused but if you think it could help just let me know Thanks for the nice words

 

[Nicolas Alary]

Some of you asked for a tutorial, I did my best with my lame english to share some of the tips I used, you can find it here.
