Dodge and burn eye help
Maybe is a really silly question, but how does looks your eye helping layer for dodge and burn. I tried lot of types but I can't find that one style that will be really good. Oct 05 13 10:46 am Link My eye-help for D&B consists of two adjustment layers: Hue/Saturation (to completely desaturate) and Brightness/Contrast (increase contrast and decrease brightness as needed). Oct 05 13 11:45 am Link go to adjustment layers -channel mixer-in they menu upstair choose blue filter play whit slider and lower opasity if needed Oct 05 13 11:47 am Link Try a blank layer in either soft light or overlay mode -- or a combination of each (two layers). Paint with color, not just black and white. Soft brush, 10% brush opacity. This is overlay:  (This is obviously just for the iris and white of the eye -- not lashes, eyebrows, shadow, etc.} Oct 05 13 12:47 pm Link Peano I didn't mean eye dodging and burning. Eye help layers - the layer that are helping when I' dodging and burning skin or other parts  RixDigital - I'm doing similar but it's not enough Pixel - I will try it today Oct 06 13 08:03 am Link My layers: 1. Desaturate 2. Curves usually to darken image (middle point down) 3. Curves - contrast (S shape) 3rd step I constantly change and adjust depending on area I'm working on. Works perfectly fine for me. Other option I've heard about: B&W adj. layer: decrease reds increase yellows But my theory is that with this adj. layer you end up dodging and burning more than necessary. Oct 06 13 08:22 am Link I have to work a lot with brown eyes. I don't get to play much with blue and green. I do a few things I re-open the RAW and redevelop for eyes then copy the image in as a new layer and reveal just the eyes If I need to, I do a selective mask on the iris and then put that on a selective color layer, set to..uhm.. linear dodge (Add) If the eyes have a lot of veins, I'll desaturate red I use my hard overlay 50% gray layer to dodge the whites if I want to bright them a little give a little burn to the border. Oct 06 13 09:22 am Link I think the OP means to ask what type of adjustment layer, or other tricks, you use to clarify the problem areas and the effects your D&B are having. I don't use any layers for this because I'm afraid they distort the way things look, so I just get up and take a walk every so often to refresh my eyes. Oct 06 13 10:10 am Link BW adjustment layer: - reds down a touch - yellows up a bit - play around to achieve the best view on problematic areas. regards, Mat Oct 06 13 05:12 pm Link fine  Oct 06 13 11:12 pm Link wjw in oz wrote: The question was not about dodge and burn, as clarified by the OP. makargina1 wrote: I think that one thing to be careful about is that when you use a black and white adjustment layer and exaggerate one color to find irregularities in skin, chances are that you will D&B too much and sometimes on the wrong parts. Exaggerating means that the difference between colors will be enhanced, and therefor the balance of the D&B parts may be a little off, when returning to the original version. Oct 07 13 01:20 am Link Pellepiano is right about the use of the B&W Adjustment Layer (usually with the red slider taken down for skin work). It presents colour information tonally, and this can result in misreading the values while doing D&B. Personally I usually use two layers:- 1/Hue/Saturation set to full desaturation 2/An Adjustment Layer (whichever is convenient) set to Multiply. Occasionally I use a Saturation eye help action. The best eye help of all, in my opinion, is to work with two image windows up - the "viewing window" set at the target size, for assessing what is needed, and the "working window" zoomed in as required. Oct 07 13 02:19 am Link For me, always the same.. Hue/Saturation 100% desaturated layer + curves to darken. That's all for me. I've found BW layer to be a bit dangerous as this potentially could affect the result of your D&B Oct 07 13 01:11 pm Link pellepiano wrote: Exactly- when you alter channels individually you're not seeing a representation of the true gradient Oct 09 13 04:45 pm Link Natalia_Taffarel wrote: You NEVER use black and white adjustment to DNB!!!
