AFTER

BEFORE

lab sharpen

keep em coming

WOW!!
I know it was just a quick 2 minute job Andrew but what a nice result. I am brand new to Digital imaging and Post Processing of images.

Can you tell me what you mean by using levels for color correction? As well, do you reccomend this Lab Sharpen for sharpening of images?

I really need to learn how to Post Process without screwing up one of my shots that is already crapy. Do you know of a good website for learning post processing either with a specific software or post processing in general?

Thanks Andrew, I would really appreciate the help.

Paul.

I love the look of the first photo you posted could you post the original and what you did to alter it.

shorty6049 · Jul 8, 2007

Treymac · Jul 8, 2007

Like D-50, I would love to know how you did that first image. :hail:

Looks like a high pass filter maybe?

Kristen6877 · Jul 8, 2007

I already did some work on these but I would love to see what you can do to make them better...

Thanks, Kristen

Also - any suggestions on doing HDR. It never comes out looking right for me!

These two could do with a little acne removal...I'm reading my Photoshop book, but I'm very new to it and it is a slow process...Ugh.

Is that first picture an HDR with a fisheye? Very cool effect whatever it is.

I hope no one minds, It is not my intention to hijack this thread, but I wanted to give this one a try.

read this.

LAB is a colour space (usually you'll use RGB) but converting your image to LAB you can sharpen the lightness channel (which is a greyscale channel) and thereby reducing any colour fringing that may ocur when sharpening in RGB. You can use a lot more sharpening that you would normally be able to as well.

Remember to convert back to RGB when done though.

You've gone way over the top blurring the background. The girl's skin is also a little overdone.
