So I have to do some begging and pleading on behalf of my sister...she had a very unfortunate situation where the photographer for her bridal portraits became very ill and failed to find a replacement. I have shot landscape photography pretty well for years and done some portraits so I got her phone call. She asked if I would shoot some urgent bridal portraits, which I did.
The pictures turned out decently. However, despite knowing how to use a camera, I am lost when it comes to editing. I am hoping there is a kind soul who is willing to help me with editing 2 or 3 photos. I have RAW images and there are no major changes--just altering sharpness, contrast, tones, etc. There is not cutting, blending, or anything involved necessary. I could just process the images and print "as is" and they would be decent, but I know someone who knows what they are doing could make them so much better.
Would anyone be willing to help me help her? She has a wedding photographer lined up now but really wants a decent bridal portrait for the reception. Her wedding is this coming Saturday. If anyone is kind enough to help me out editing some shots, please PM me. Thanks in advance for your kind consideration!
Hello everybody
Can anyone tell me how I can create portraits like this? I think the camera settings are very important but this picture has been edited a lot. Anyone know how I can achieve images like that with photoshop?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
David
There is this photographer who's work I really love. He does a lot of portrait shots for actors, but I'm not sure where to start. Obviously uses a sharp lens, but the main thing seems to be lighting and post production.
Here is his website: Headshots NYC: David Noles New York City Headshots for Actors
It looks like he uses layering in Photoshop, but I'm extremely new to portraits. The colors look faded but the eyes pop out, so I'm guessing use of the the RGB curve and RGB individual color curves are involved, along with an adjustment brush. Any pointers/examples?
Hello, guys!
Could someone please change the metalic red background of the three portraits below for the cloud skies so they match the style of the of this viking portrait?

So I'm trying to edit the images to look like these. I don't care to much for the graphics I just need learn what to do and how to do the editing. I'm trying to figure out how they paint the metal and how to make it look smooth around the edges as well as make the stones look smooth and sharp. The jewelry I've shot does come out sharp and clear cause I am using a Nikon D800 with a 105mm micro lens. What are the steps that I need to take in order to acheive this kind of look on the Jewelry. I'd really appreciate any feed back or help. It doesn't have to look like these images 100% but if I can even come close to having them look like this in fine detail will make my company happy and not fire me lol. Please please please help me. I've watch a whole bunch of videos on youtube about fine jewelry editing but it never seems to come out like this.
Hey Guys,
I am a freelance Photographer who primarily shoots night events (shows, clubs, etc.) and I am having some issues with my images coming out darker when I save them as JPEGS. I am shooting with a Canon 60D (Adobe RGB) and at the moment editing the photos in the Adobe RAW Editor (Adobe RGB). When I am editing the photos in the RAW Editor they appear to be in 24bit, but when I save them as JPEG (Adobe RGB) they appear to be more like 32bit (much much darker). Any ideas as to why this is happening? I would really just like the finished product to be what I'm seeing in my RAW Editor.
---> Side note, I just realized the images are only darker when viewing them through Windows Photo Viewer and Facebook (where the photos will primarily be housed). Does anyone know why the images are vastly darker when viewed through these applications? This is definitely a viewer problem. So how can I make my images look how they are supposed to while using things like Facebook?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
The first screenshot of the image in the RAW Editor, the second of the JPEG in Widows Photo Viewer.
***UPDATE***
None of my replies appear to be going through so I'll just post them here. Before posting this thread I attempted to save them as sRGB but it still had the same affect. I also just tried Steve's Save for Web method and have the same issue.
I believe I am saving them properly as JPGs (I will supply a screen shot in this post). MrTom, when I say 32bit what I meant was if you are editing an image in Photoshop and you change the color mode from 8bit to 32bit, it looks similar to the drastic darkness as seen with 32bit.
A mini solution I have discovered is to +70 the Black levels, this evens out the photos to roughly what I was going for once they save. I would greatly prefer an actual fix, but this will do if all else fails.
Thanks for all the feedback!
Hi Guys,
My sister recently had her wedding. Which i directed, and if you have ever directed a wedding you know the day of is seriously hectic. Well when the pictures rolled around i realized i hadnt even glanced at my hair to make sure it was still in place. Could anyone fix my bangs in these couple pictures?
My bangs are typically fluid all the way down now splayed out like in the pictures.
Thanks in advance!
Hi all,
The reason I went looking for this site in the first place (which I'm very glad I did and should have done sooner) is because, as a newborn photographer, the most common difficulty I come across in editing my images is in correcting thin, veiny newborn skin. I find plenty of tutorials on how to correct jaundiced skin or red, blotchy skin, but I can't seem to find anything specifically geared towards this. What tips would you all have for me?
Thanks!
Hi,
I would like to see pixel values of 16-bit TIFF images in Photoshop CC2014. I'm able se 8-bit (0-255) pixel values using he histogram and info tabs but it seems that when 16-bit images are opened the pixel values are still displayed from 0-255.
I want to do to see this information for scientific purposes, not for typical photo editing. I've read many discussions about the practicality of editing 16-bit images but would like to avoid having my original question overrun by that discussion here. I am specifically looking for differences between pixels with more resolution than 8 bits.
I found one recommendation t check a box stating "show pixel values in 16-bit" or something like that but I have not yet been able to find the checkbox.
Thanks for any help.
A proposal has been made at my camera club that: 'Entries (images) must be 80% the original work of the entrant for club competitions. The proposal goes on to say that the 80% is for when Photoshop or other software is used to edit images in producing snow or other 'effects'. I don't believe you can determine the extent to which image editing software has been used let alone detemine a percentage for it. Would anybody like to comment?

Hi,
I have to generate images of combinations of two hair colors. There are 15 total colors, so that means 225 total images.
I was hoping to shoot photos of each of the colors without overlays, then photos of the overlays. I'd like to make the overlays (which do not cover the entire image) into individual layers and then use them over the base colors. I want the blending to look realistic, and so I need transparency that is accurate.
Any thoughts on how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
