lilchief 1 #1326 February 22, 2010 Like this? =) I had to search youtube to see where it was and how the effect would be But the picture got a lot better! =) Phreezone: if you look 2" to the left and down from her left knee there's some lensflare..or that's what I would describe as lens flare. edit: Sigma 15mm f2.8 with f11(and 1/640+ISO 400) "Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return." - Da Vinci www.lilchief.no Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The111 1 #1327 February 22, 2010 Yeh, that looks better... but unless the shadows are really bad (which yours weren't) I rarely fix shadows AND highlights at the same time, as it makes the colors look really fake and kills depth. Try touching only the highlights (not the shadows), and I'd push them even further than you did. I'll give it a shot of my own when I am back on my home PC with PS. There are more advanced ways to do it like using curves, or even a fake HDR with curves/layers/masking, but they're more difficult and often yield very similar results. And yeh, I'm calling the same thing a lens flare that you are referring to...www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The111 1 #1329 February 23, 2010 Ok, I applied a little bit more highlight tweaking then you did, also did a really quick clone stamp job to kind of get rid of the lens flare (still visible but a lot less) and I added a tiny saturation and a few other things, and a USM. Here is the result. I probably overdid it a bit with the saturation, but the main point was to see how much of the highlights we could get back (which unfortunately wasn't much... there is a lot of blown out regions to begin with).www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shogo 0 #1331 February 24, 2010 I would do exactly the same thing you did, but I noticed the jumper kinda does not pop out anymore. May be it's my monitor. When I do a similar PP, like a person under canopy, I cannot get it to come out the way I want. Saturation in the back ground and the jumper standing out, instead of dissipating into the back ground. Does anyone know how to achieve localized touch up without going into complicated layering? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #1332 February 24, 2010 What program are you using? In photoshop, I'd probably use an adjustment layer. You can pretty much "paint on" the adjustment you want. Lightroom lets you do the same thing with adjustment brushes. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shogo 0 #1333 February 24, 2010 I use DPP. (Hey it’s free and I think it is very good. Downside is that it does not let you tilt image. I hate tilted horizon.) I have tried Aperture 2, but I was not impressed. I will try Lightroom to see what you mean. But isn’t adjustment brush more like dodging and burning tool? Is it same as layering? I was thinking this might be a nice feature. http://www.niksoftware.com/viveza/usa/entry.php?view=intro/viveza2_features.shtml Looks to me, it is a true localized touch up without layering. I don’t know how well it works though. I have not tried, because I am not sure if the trial version works with the snow leopard (I had issues with DPP and my colorimeter when I up graded to the snow leopard.). Thanks for the tip. I will try lightroom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #1334 February 24, 2010 The adjustment brush in lightroom lets you choose from a bunch of types of adjustment. Everything from exposure to skin smoothing. Nowhere near as powerful as the masking tools in photoshop, but it's quick and easy. And all changes are non-destructive, so you can always modify/undo. I tried DPP for about a day and realized that I needed something much much faster for the volume of pictures I take. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
