35mp headshot sample - for practice only
[edit 3] Here is an image of Bob Randall by Bob Randall on one of his digital Leaf backs, I'm posting it here to turn this into the Digital Back thread, or at least to have two large files in one place. you can find the image linked on this thread - https://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thread_id=510905 Also, my image is linked on the bottom of this post. [edit 2] I define practice as just that, it's not a real live file for a job and it's nothing for money. The shot is something I took that I won't use, and rather than have it sit around I thought it'd be neat to offer up. Please feel free to use it, retouch it, and use it in your portfolio - although I'd like it if you credit the model and myself (info below). [edit] This shot is for practice and is one of the only or one of the few posted here that's from a larger digital back. It's not something I'm currently using or going to use, so feel free to do whatever to it. As I said below it's not the best or most fashionable shot you're ever going to see, but the colors are good, it's sharp, and it will give you a good idea about what kind of files a decent digital back can give. [/edit] I'm putting up a shot I did out in NYC with KMR a few weeks ago. Now, I'll be the first to admit it's not the best styled or themed headshot you will ever see, but it's not totally sucky either - and it should be a fun example for people to use to try and retouch.  That's my retouched version, and a small sample of it. It was shot on a p30+ Phase 1 back and exported with capture 1 into a tiff. Please feel free to retouch it however you like, however I would appreciate it if you didn't use it for your retouching portfolios unless tagged with "used for a retouching thread, shot by [me], model #1248199." But yeah, have fun, go nuts, and be ready to wait a while to download it's 185.6MB of goodness. Click to download. RIGHT CLICK AND "SAVE AS"!!!!!! and yeah, it's almost 200mb so it may take a while.

Jul 07 09 11:24 am Link What the heck.....my version........ (skin texture is preserved in the big file, so the skin would print well) btw, critique's on my retouch are welcome and appreciated but limit it to the work I did on the file and not on Andrews work or the model  Jul 07 09 12:03 pm Link Harold Rose wrote: for some people, creative process doesn't end with a click of the shutter button...

I'm going to play with a little later tonight because it looks like an awesome file to practice skin on.

Jul 07 09 01:30 pm Link Ohh well, I just managed to do half of her face. I'll finish it tomorrow... I guess I'm reserving a place LOL Jul 07 09 01:42 pm Link Dearest Mr. Rose: Did you miss your daily fibre intake today or perhaps a healthy dose of probiotic drinks to help ease your bowels movements? This wasn't necessary. Misters Thomas and Reed are my friends here on MM and they did not ask for your unsolicited critique!

It is however a pretty good, sharp, and decently lit example of what a pretty nice digital back can do.
