Can this pic be saved?
**SOLUTION FOUND. THANKS TO ALL FOR INPUT*** I accidentally hit a dial on my Canon and didn't catch it until after she changed outfits. I'm still waiting on CS5 for Dummies to arrive and I'm FAR from being skilled at retouching. In the meantime, I've tried 3 different youtube tutorials and haven't gotten it right yet. Suggested paths to fix? Can it be saved? https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/37082325 Oct 07 14 08:26 am Link If you have the RAW file, maybe. Oct 07 14 08:50 am Link You should start by adjusting the exposure and highlights to address the hot areas. Camera RAW can be your friend. Oct 07 14 10:43 am Link Pictus wrote: Definitely agree here. From the RAW file you could still play with the Exposure as well as the Highlights options in whichever RAW conversion software you have. Oct 07 14 10:58 am Link with the RAW file and Lightroom you can adjust the exposure, not really anything to be done about the soft focus though. Oct 07 14 10:59 am Link I started shooting in which each image I take is saved in the RAW file and the JPEG. It's so much easier to fix an image from the RAW form. Photoshop could help. Oct 07 14 11:10 am Link Here's an idea, donno how practical it will be here but... If some of the texture is left, try frequency separation, then do this. 1. clone/heal some of the texture, so it will be stronger in the blown out areas on the high frequency, then 2. paint on the low frequency with continues colour sampling and soft brush on low flow. it helped me in a similar situation where Camera Raw didn't Oct 07 14 01:27 pm Link I dropped your jpg into camera raw and brought down the highlights and did some light painting on the blown out areas also.....not an extreme fix...tried to leave the rest as you posted. https://www.flickr.com/photos/35938691@ … /lightbox/ Oct 07 14 05:03 pm Link If you have the raw file for this shot I could work on it for you and give you some tips on what I did.

Thanks for the suggestion, and it'll be RAW going forward. Oct 07 14 06:21 pm Link My humble attempt, not sure if its what you're going for.  Oct 07 14 06:45 pm Link |
