White Fashion Skin Retouch
in a lot of fashion photos i see that the models' skin is almost white/silver with very strong light..i dont think its only about the lightning while shooting its because of the editing can anybody teach me how i can do this effect in photoshop cs2?  thank you! here are a few examples for what i mean: http://wywiur.deviantart.com/art/zdziwiak-92808265 http://larafairie.deviantart.com/art/Azure-88034131 http://larafairie.deviantart.com/art/Moment-62114835 Jul 29 08 08:50 pm Link Increase the luminance for the Red, Orange and Yellow channels with a layer mask on the face, but it starts with good lighting.

Most of my adjustments are done in ACR, so I don't know how to go about making these changes in Photoshop.

Make sure the values add up to 100%. Then decrease the opacity of that layer. You will see how it can make the skin look steely gray, but it also subdues other colors, such as in the lips and eyes.

Jul 31 08 10:43 pm Link lol i think some people are just really white  but what people are saying above about raw processing is how i would handle it. i suppose a really simple solution would be to desaturate and bright the skin a bit, but some photoshop wizards may think that's a little barbaric. Aug 01 08 02:40 am Link I think of using a dark brown color layer, or at least that's the way I'd do it, along with the channel mixer. that's just my opinon though. Aug 01 08 04:11 am Link Throw up a difference mask for the midtones, you can bring up the red and green channels to taste depending on desired skin tone with a curve adjustment. This should be slight, the key to this effect is good lighting, with a moderately large lighting ratio on the face. It's better to enhance what you have in-camera than to fake it on a normal image. You'd end up washing out details, etc. Control specular highlights with good makeup.

Aug 01 08 04:51 am Link that's my skin color. tungsten reflective.

You can edit the red yellow oranges.. etc.  Nov 11 09 04:03 am Link i play around with the curve tool and maybe add a dodge and burn layer.......there's also lightrooom -brandon Nov 12 09 04:10 pm Link i play around with the curve tool and maybe add a dodge and burn layer.......there's also lightrooom -brandon Nov 12 09 04:10 pm Link |
