    Fixing tungsten colour casts?

    Hey, Noz - The attachments didn't show up. I'd love to see them. Could you try posting them again? Thanks, Tom M

    How to achieve these colors?

    FWIW, here's what I got after 15 min of work. I didn't have any more time to put in, but it could obviously still could use more work (incl. improving my selections, reducing the strength of some of the efx I already used, etc.) to really match the examples. I used all sorts of tweaks...

    How to achieve these colors?

    Hey Vlado - Yup, you were absolutely right. It was pretty obvious that the photographer uses some sort of extended source to light his subjects, but I was only looking at the photos on my phone so I didn't notice the unusual catchlights, and just assumed the light source was something...

    How to achieve these colors?

    If u were referring to my photo, actually, I shot that one on Fuji pro negative film years ago when I hadn't yet fully transitioned over to digital. The image I posted looks almost exactly like the print. I scanned it on an Epson V700. Just some straightening, cropping in PS, as I recall.

    How to achieve these colors?

    This guy is a well known club and band photographer in San Francisco. Take a look at some of his work: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7303064 http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10476694 http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=10476899 Both he and I use more or less the same...

    Fixing tungsten colour casts?

    Hi Noz - I could only spend 5 or 10 minutes on the NEF because everything is hopping here in Washington, DC (for obvious reasons, LOL). Anyway, my initial impression is that the tungsten spill light seems to be almost as hard to correct starting with the NEF file as it was starting from the...

    How to achieve these colors?

    Looking at the first few postings on the page you cited, I presume you are wondering how the skin tones can be so good when the ambient lighting contains all sorts of colors and varies from point to point on the dance floor. If that is your question, the answer is easy: The photographer used a...

    Just FYI ... I saw your msgs, but won't be able to look at the raw file till tomorrow (is, Sat) morning (USA east coast time). Tom M

    Fixing tungsten colour casts?

    Great! Any chance you could post the RAW file for that image? I want to see how much difference there really is between starting with a RAW file and starting with a JPG. Usually, I don't have the motivation to do an actual comparison when I'm doing real work, so I just work with whatever is...

    Fixing tungsten colour casts?

    Even though I only had access to the JPG that you posted (ie, and not a RAW file, which would have worked much better and probably would have sped things up), I decided to give it a try using the two-ACR approach that I suggested, painting white on one of the layer masks. This made a...

    Convert inverted images to positive in photoshop

    I presume the image you had trouble with is the one of the girl. The first thing to try with an image that looks like this is to simply hit, "control-I" (ie, "invert") in Photoshop. Depending on exactly how the image was created, this may or may not work. In this case, it worked. After a...

    Fixing tungsten colour casts?

    By the way, without knowing the specifics, I should mention that a fairly standard method to handle mixed lighting like this is to shoot in RAW. Then, do two separate RAW conversions, each with a different white balance. One has the normal white balance, the other is white balanced for...

    Fixing tungsten colour casts?

    As a matter of curiosity, how was this photo lit, & what is the source of the tungsten spill? By any chance, is it the modeling light from a studio strobe? Tom M

    Fixing tungsten colour casts?

    Do you have a good (ie, well color balanced), recent photo of the subject in normal, full-spectrum daylight that you could post? It's very difficult to tell the true color of his skin and hair from the single image you posted. Also, is the photo that you posted before or after your tweaks...

    Please help me crop and restore my grandfather's photo for his funeral service!

    My condolences to you and your family. Here's yet another version. This one is of the two of them, cropped to a landscape format, up-rez'ed to a version that can be printed directly in a standard 8x10" size (at 300 ppi) and inserted immediately into a standard 8x10" frame, or a larger frame...

    Negative photo how to

    To be honest, like sc00t, I really don't understand what you are asking. However, my guess is that you are asking what to do with a negative to turn it back into a normal positive so it can will look "normal" when viewed by eye (without hypothetical "glasses"). If that is your question, then...

    Daytime to Nighttime

    Great tutorial, Inkz! I particularly liked how you handled the lights and the area around them, as well as the highlights on the people walking in the street. My only possible criticism is that it probably will be too fast for someone just learning PS, but if they pause it and think about...

    Batch Automation Automate Camara raw

    I did not say that the presets in LR were any more powerful than the ones in PS. In fact, the behind-the-scenes math is virtually identical in ACR and LR. What I said was, "...preset management is so vastly better in Lightroom instead of PS, I would do the entire operation in LR..". What this...
