This deserves a bump. Nov 12 08 10:29 pm Link Mojokiss wrote: I'm curious about these last two. I don't know all that much about PNG but am curious about the benefits of that being your final retouched copy rather than a PSD or TIFF. Do you keep a 16-bit copy of your retouched image? Nov 12 08 11:06 pm Link Love this thread so far. I havent read it all, but definitely bookmark! Thank you Nov 12 08 11:29 pm Link Mojokiss wrote: I think I'm missing something here ... call me silly!

Any one know the answer? Nov 13 08 08:07 pm Link I work on Win-doze and have the same issue. When you double click to get the color picker there are about 12 boxes to enter values. I think the top 3 are H S B - Hue, Saturation and Brightness(?). So sure... I can enter a 30 in the H box, but what about the S and B? I really have no idea where the 30 is supposed to go... we need a screenshot! Nov 13 08 10:25 pm Link AK Photography wrote: done and done.

Nov 14 08 08:12 pm Link Perhaps we have to buy the video to find out .. ha ha  I think I have sussed it, I'm not sure yet, not quite liking the effect I'm getting, so I must still be missing a link in the chain of workflow commands, still testing ... watch this space! Nov 15 08 07:13 am Link I bought one of his tutorials but have yet to figure out how to view it - has anyone bought one that would know the next step?? thank! Jan 04 09 03:09 pm Link awesome-ness!

Aug 12 10 08:14 pm Link Hey everyone. I have been more or less quiet for a year or more. I've shut my profile off and on a couple times. I'm more or less adjusted now. I've been reserching a lot to do with film, and the aesthetics of believable art. I love tumblr - i have collected some random imagery in a tumblr blog there just for inspiration at http://mojoloves.tumblr.com Lately - my techniques and how they've changed: A lot of what I do is the same, but perhaps more subtle. I find this reaches a larger audience. The average art enthusiast or sentimental fool doesn't care about effects, but more so believable imagery that touches them deeply. This can be accomplished in many ways, primarily a balance of scenery, setting, color, shape, model, expression, styling, lens settings, light correction and fill. That all goes to say - a lot goes into an image. And its important what you do NOT show. This is p[rofoundly epically important. This is what makes great art - what is hidden, alluring, suggested. This can be done with light, clothing, sheer, smoke, blur, anomalies, pose, etc. Everyone is naked, even when we have clothes on, we just have a percentage of coverage, not full. This is important to understand, even when naked, we are clothed. Think about this - it will open your mind to being a great portrait artist. note on color and shape: shape always fights with color. Less saturation will allow more shape to impact the viewer if that is the desire. It's worth debating or considering the amount of influence shape and color has ont he mind thru the eye. There are various receptors that determine apparent information about the environment based on shapes and colors and contrast of differentials. Low Contrast: This can be awesome and so can high contrast. In low contrast there is more detail and more information. High Contrast: high contrast will make your eye only see what part of the dictated middle tones and blown out low and high shapes that you want, without the distration of unneeded details Photoshop stuff: I use it to make the face look as nice as possible while staying believable. texture can be replaced with "noise" using layers and effects such as 1. blur and 2. add noise Shoot to Kill: Shoot as if you don't have photoshop. Now lets talk. (i've lost my last 6 months of medium format shots. sorry noone will see these ever - post office lost them. I'll be shooting again and trying to catch up. stay tuned to www.mojokiss.com i love you all) Aug 12 10 08:26 pm Link i love threads about technique that start with a tutorial.. and end with an opinion. yayayay Aug 12 10 08:28 pm Link noisenest wrote: awe is it ovah already? Aug 13 10 04:32 am Link You sure are generous with info and have damn awful luck. First your lights, now your MF shots? I suppose it's a tribute to either your courage or obsessive mania that you're still shooting. I'm not sure I'd have it in me to still be going after these blows. As for techniques that allow for artistic liberties without sacrificing subtlety: I'm in love with Luminosity Masks these days. That, and I'm shooting a lot on Blads and the 5D MkII  Aug 13 10 07:12 am Link Gibson Photo Art wrote: Okay Aug 26 12 08:58 pm Link why am i not seeing anything at the foxblood site?
