Do you have any tools such as Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop?

 

[anmolmehtaaa]

i have only adobe photoshop why ?????

It's a composite, and a bad composite at that.

This would take studio lighting for all of your subjects separately, and then cutting them out, layering them on a background. You can see where their feet hit the rooftop that it's a poorly done composite because they don't have shadows, and the guy on the left has some kind of cloned out spot on the left most foot.

^The foot thing is what I noticed first as well. The 'shopped in dust cloud on the far left guy was done really well /sarcasm.

Is it just me, or is there a rise in the number of noobs who register on here, just to ask, "How do I emulate crappy techniques / poorly executed post work?"

 

[SoCalTiger]

The logo in the bottom-right is low res too. Just a horrible job all around. I'm not sure why someone would even ask about emulating this.

 

[Edsport]

I don't think the OP wanted to emulate the poorly executed techniques, he asked about skin toning...

A better clone job, learning the free transform , and a drop shadow with a new layer, this could have been done much better.

i was just asked the name of skin toning plugin and i know it's a plugin see this pic http://princemahesh.com/pages/new/dookudu/stills/images1/46.jpg and now see the same pic i want to know that how to make this type of skin toning

 

[o hey tyler]

It's more about light, less about plugins. That's what I'm trying to say.

 

[anmolmehtaaa]

but you can see this image that's a actual image i think it's a rare tool

I'm almost completely sure it is NOT a plugin. It's just a combo of lighting and PS.

 

[anmolmehtaaa]

ok thanks

Wow. A lot of people seem to have reading comprehension problems, or are so quick to offer critiques that aren't in the least nit constructive. Noobs coming in looking for advice? Duh, it's a forum. Commenting on a low res logo? Who asked about the logo? Poorly edited composition? Who asked about the composition?

The OP asked about skin tones. The skin tones are largely the work of studio lighting in the picture you're asking about.

You can try this method to emulate it, but you will require a source photo that has been shot properly with decent lighting to begin with. It also helps immensely if the source photo is high resolution. Try it anyways.

Open the source photo in Photoshop and hit command J. This copies the layer.

Change the blending mode to vivid light. Hit command+i to invert the colours.

Select filter, select blur, select surface blur.

Set both parameters to around 30-40.

Hit ok.

Hit shift+option+command+e

There should be 3 layers now. Delete the layer in the middle.

Change the blending mode on the top layer to overlay.

With a soft eraser, erase parts of the picture that look too over processed, or/and adjust the opacity and fill for the top layer to your desired result.

This is a down and dirty way to get what some call the "Dave Hill" effect. Note that it's just similar and not exactly how he processes and shoots. Dave Hill is a lighting genius. Nevertheless, this is a great little method to add some punch to your photos, and done right, can look good without looking over processed.

Cheers.
