Photoshop or Makeup?
 is it photoshop or makeup that is giving the glow? and how would someone mimic this effect? could this effect be done with a bronzing cream? or is the effect done in photoshop? photographers and makeup artist input would be great. Mar 22 06 10:36 am Link I would say both, but more photoshop! The overall color of the photo has been changed. Hey Benny, I'll email you more info on this as soon as I find it. EDIT: Benny Here are a few links to point you in the right direction. Try to achieve it first with makeup than fine tune it in photoshop. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read. … e=15914594 http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read. … e=14998347 Mar 22 06 10:46 am Link thanx Volney  Mar 22 06 10:56 am Link I'd say make-up, lighting, and photoshop all contributed to the final look of this shot. Mar 22 06 11:01 am Link I'd say all three as well. Looks computer-y. Mar 22 06 11:03 am Link make-up, lighting, and good photoshop all contributed. Mar 22 06 11:12 am Link Could be radiation. Does she live near a power plant? I'd think some photoshop was certainly involved.Mar 22 06 11:16 am Link it'd be easier to answer if we could see a better version of the image - this one appears to have been degraded significantly. i've achieved, along with a good mua, similar glowing effects just with lighting. the hard part is avoiding blown-out hot spots. Mar 22 06 11:24 am Link If it was mainly photoshop? What I would have done to get this effect, is cut her out and put a outline glow around her. Then ad a background layer with a canvas texture and put the shadow behind her to give it depth. Highlight the hot spots and put a blur effect to it and drop the opacity down to 60% percent. Mess with the contrast a lil bit. And voila ! Mar 22 06 11:30 am Link lighting and photoshop Mar 22 06 11:35 am Link i would say its a supernatural phenomenon... (j/k) and lighting/photoshop Mar 23 06 12:43 pm Link I definately agree on all 3...you could achieve the look with makeup and lighting and a lil photoshop, but that photo looks like ALOT of photoshop work Mar 23 06 01:54 pm Link actually a simple diffuse glow filter in Photoshop would give the glow effect then looks like the contrast was jittled with a bit....a more time consuming process would be layering and using the multiply effect for the new layer then the dodge tool to lighten desired areas, altering the opacity & flow. Mar 23 06 02:02 pm Link I am going to agree with the majority on this one....Lighting technique, photoshop and a little makeup. Mar 23 06 02:19 pm Link I would say lighting and photo shop, they eyes give it away Mar 23 06 02:35 pm Link Deadly Design Make-up wrote: But...but, I thought Natalie Portman's eyes always looked like that? All glowy and bright.....it's so...natural! Mar 23 06 04:45 pm Link i think there are alot of assumptions going here. the web version of this photo is of such poor quality, that nobody can say for sure whether or not it was significantly photoshopped.

That was the whole reason dude started this thread: to get different opinions based on a picture. Unless the original photographer happens to come across this thread and feels like sharing, they are all going to be assumptions and opinions based on our own perceptions and personal experience with make-up, lighting, photography and Photoshop.

Mar 23 06 06:20 pm Link the glow around the edges might just mean you dropped her image from another background and did not smooth the edges, bring up the contrast and saturate the blacks just bit.
