You want me to scroll 9 pages for you?

The first post after the OP has 2 tutorials. Neither of
them are perfect. But both of them were helpful to me.

This thread has never produced a definitive answer except to set
up a tutorial with the photographer of the image the op asked about.
However, there are many helpful posts scattered throughout.
And apparently, several people, using those, have achieved good results.

It's already been answered, but I'll re-iterate.  If you looking for an exact recipe on how to create this effect, in this thread, you won't find it.  That being said, this thread is full of some really good advice, tips and tricks, and suggestions on how to get some really nice effects.

If you're looking to get the definitive answer, I strongly suggest going to the source.  Jaime does hands-on sessions over the phone where you work in parallel on one of your images, or one of his.  You'll come out with the information you're looking for plus new insights into photoshop.  Absolutely worth the money.

A number of posters on this thread have taken them and you can see the results in their ports.

So I had the chance to shoot the Canon 5D with a nice L series lens...Of course my daughter was the model and this is the result. I tried some new little twist before the regular curves.

New to this thread I've been wondering how do to these for family caption type portraits.  I always thought this was done via lightroom or camera raw somehow.

The effect is simple to achieve but that is NOT the same thing as giving life to the image. Jaime Ibarra's Photography is brilliant. His usage of light and image composition and understanding the flexibility of the subject (model) is fantastic and near flawless in most cases. His post production just adds to it. It's his photography you people need to credit more than the retouch work in my opinion. His images would not be that awesome if his photography wasn't that brilliant.

This is the closest THIS image can reach to this effect.
Retouch by Me!

Love this thread. Have been a long time watcher. Some of you guys have really gotten very good results. I didn't actually achieve the glaze but this is probably the closest I can get.

https://modelmayhm-2.vo.llnwd.net/d1/photos/101024/13/4cc499e7e411c.jpg

I used an action though you don't really need one as you'll still end up tweaking it.
Basically its just curves, (de)saturation on colorize mode, pink fill layer on screen mode at 8-11% opacity, light vignette, an overlay light "fill pop".

Image shot with a Canon Xsi and the 1.8/ 50mm lens. THe girl in the image is my sister and she is no model, although on that day she became one. Haha. I give you another image with again the simple steps of curves and selective color, oh and some empty layers of different colors and blending modes of just 12 to 20% opacity. Hope you guys like it.
By the way, I get lots of emails asking me for a recipe. There in no such a thing. Images are all different and require different little twitches....And when I take the time to create a little class of mine with pictures explaining the steps I'm taking, at least, be courteous enough to replay back with either a THank you email if it helped you or a FUCK YOU email if it sucks....But give me something, since I GIVE YOU my humble knowledge and precious time.
Again, The reason I keep posting images is because I understand how much we like this Guy's work, oh and yeah! for bragging purposes only. haha

I did the same thing about 6, maybe 8 months ago.  I cannot say enough good things about him and how he teaches.

And the really great thing is that it's really easy to add a splash of his teaching in everything.  Even if you don't go "full bore" and try to recreate what he does, it can really do wonders for an image.

If we're talking about awesome, that pic is it. But if we're talking about this so
called truth, that pic would need color work in both the shadows and highlights.

EDIT: Jaime's newest work appears to have less color. In which
case, if this were an emulation contest, you might still win. ; )

This is great with the glaze. But it is great because it's an interesting pic to begin with.

Mister C. You are right. I picked a similar image and added the extra color as you mentioned. Also I used a different background.

I have an action for this particular look called Cross Faded. What it does is it adds some haze in the shadow and a red and blue tint in it selectively.

If you are an experienced photoshop user, you can change these colors and customize their masks. A very little bit of blur in certain areas, soft vignette and a very low opacity of some grunge texture in the background and you are there.

You can see the cross faded action before after on this page:

Cross Faded, it is not.

Your actions are great, but doesn't quite get the muted haze.
I prefer it in some cases, but it's not terribly similar to the "glazed" look.

It's great. I browse your work now and then to remind myself that haze.is.good.

Jaime is a really awesome dude.  I asked him for a critique on an image once via Deviant art, and he sent me his phone number and said to call him.  He then talked my ear off for three hours about everything I could ever want to know.  And yes, he rarely uses flash.

THis is just a try out of my friends 5d with a 16-35mm lens. He has access to this beauty at school and I did some quick shots of my friend Ylsa. She is not a model what so ever but likes to play the role a lot.
