How to achieve this look/color??
I'm going to do a shoot soon, and I want something like this: http://fashiongonerogue.com/doutzen-kro … e-sundsbo/ Anyone has tips on how to achieve this?? (both in post and on set..??) Jun 20 12 06:25 pm Link Working in Channels on skin tones. D&B to make more profound 3D effects. Desat the shadows a little bit. Harsh shadows tell you harsh lighting used.

Jun 21 12 05:20 am Link Based on the slightly muddy, toned highlights, it looks like a flat color brushed in on a layer set to the "color" blending mode. On set, try misting the model with a glycerine/water mixture to get that wet sheen and specular highlights. Shoot with a hard light and make absolutely sure you don't blow your highlights. It'll look terrible if you have no texture in them. Jun 21 12 06:14 am Link Simen Platou wrote: for example, use a copy of the blue channel set it to luminosity blend mode. Jun 21 12 06:17 am Link in PP go into the selective colour option in the adjustments and play around a bit, also play with colour tone and photo filters. and probably some fake tans in there  Jun 21 12 06:23 am Link MB-2 wrote: Ah, great!

Tick the "tint" box and adjust to taste. Dodge for the highlights.  Jun 21 12 07:18 pm Link Peano, again shows his awesomeness Jun 21 12 07:23 pm Link I'd say use a gradient map on the skin. You can sample highlight midtones and shadows for the gradient from the skin, making the shadows a more rich chocolate color. Set the layer mode to color mode. As for the highlights, you can do it the amy dresser why by selecting the white with color range and painting with white layer, you can blur the layer if effect is too strong. in addition to what Peano said on having a b/w layer set to multiply. Also try duplicating the color layer, set that to black and white and blend mode to multiply. the photo will look really dark.. go to shadows and highlights and bump up the shadows, then adjust opacity to taste..

Jun 22 12 11:19 am Link Footnote: When using a B/W layer with tint in multiply mode, Portraiture will bring out the highlights. The contrast slider is the trick. (You can zero out all skin smoothing if you like.)  Jun 22 12 11:44 am Link I think the look you ask for is the same as this look from this album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set … 632&type=1 I don't think you can achieve that by what peano says, as i have tried those tricks and havnt gotten there. I've been trying to achieve the look for a while. sadly enough i always see the pictures randomly posted by other people and not the retoucher, otherwise, i'd ask the person.

I was trying to get the color in the images the OP linked to. I think it comes pretty close. Jun 25 12 11:31 am Link Wow! This forum is a good one, lots of techiques i've never heard of. Thats an excellent piece of advice with the B/W set to multiply Peano, i've never used a B/W layer before. Can't say i've ever used a channel to alter skin tones either. Never heard of half this stuff.. now i've got lots to try out! I guess it's cause i usually try to make models less tan XD.

Dec 04 12 03:03 pm Link Try Hawaiian Tropic & blow.

May 26 13 02:46 pm Link As for shooting: Obviously one strong light source to camera right, a little past (from the camera’s perspective) the model. It could have been shot outdoors or in an indoor pool with well-simulated sunlight. Because the sky shows in one of the photos lower on the page, I’d say outdoors is a fairly safe bet. If it was indoors, this raises the question of how the main (and probably only) light was placed. Since people don’t usually risk their lives and the life of the model by putting studio strobes with their insanely high-voltage capacitors in the water, I’d say that a speedlight held by an assistant, possibly on a pole would be a good guess. Because there is detail in the shadows, no matter where it was shot, there was a fill light or reflector. Light that harsh doesn’t leave detail in the shadows by itself. My guess is that a reflector was held by an assistant in the pool (or held just above the water by an assistant above the pool) to the model’s right (camera left). A reflector placed above the pool wouldn’t have filled in the shadows on the lower part of the model’s right arm as well. In fact, the lower part of her arm seems to be getting slightly more fill than her forearm. I doubt a glycerine-water mix was used. Glycerin and water looks more – well, watery. (Ken Marcus said Playboy photographers used one part glycerin to three parts water in a forum post a few months ago.) The glycerin causes the water to form droplets. I see no droplets. The model's skin has more of an oily look than a wet look. My guess is baby oil.

May 27 13 12:33 am Link If you read the link, the skin was prepared by Val Garland, meaning they used a bronze tinted self tanning lotion. I've seen muas use the bronzing lotions in demonstrations to give that tanned look, and there are many different shades that one can buy and use. I know that there's a bunch of techniques in photoshop to get this look, but I think the way they did it in the link, was to just use the lotion. Nicely done too. May 27 13 12:56 am Link One of the easiest ways to get similar color grading is to open new blank layer in photoshop , with eyedropper tool choose in swatches some darker/golden brown color , fill that blank layer with paint bucket tool , set blending mode to soft light and set opacity on that layer for example around 30%-50% depend from your taste. Add new selective color layer set colors to neutral and add black again depend from your taste if is necessary . This is simple color grading without to work on tens of layers with different blending mode , because for this level of work you don't need complex color grading which is very difficult . And don't forget on right leg Best Regards to All ST May 27 13 03:41 am Link |
Hope it works out
