Nice work. I would also add a caution to people who use warp tools to manipulate the bodies of one's subjects. Sure you can make them look more flattering and "ideal", but people can also go way too far with the warp tools making things look unrealistic, and it could be insulting to a model if you alter their bodies.

@IliaUsmanov Жыл бұрын

That's definitely something you have to discuss with the model prior to the shoot and prior to the edits.

I think you missed a point as to how you removed the shadow on her sweater in the front. You go from one image to the next still talking about exposure and colour etc then magically the shadow on her sweater disappears. How did you do that?

@justinlaurens Жыл бұрын

Um I think I know what you're talking about... I probably removed it when I applied my Skin retouching to the face & body (sometimes I will retouch tonal inconsistencies in the clothes too, to create a cleaner look). I use the same methods for that. Does that help?

@PeterPreager Жыл бұрын

@@justinlaurens Not really but at least I see what you did. Which tool do you use for skin retouching? If I use the AI portrait retouching in LrC or the new masking features just released do you know if it will give me similar results as what you have done in your image? Thx.

@justinlaurens Жыл бұрын

I use a special form of frequency separation and local dodge & burn, which I teach in my course. Skin retouching is honestly the most important and nuanced aspect of portrait editing and it would be impossible to cover everything in a KZfaq video. There’s a lot to consider. I’ve tried using other AI features but the results are never nearly as good as taking the time & care using professional methods.

I really appreciate all the tips about shooting in direct sunlight, but the editing side of this feels a bit too much. That might just be my personal taste but I think if you took everything you did (especially the liquify) and dialled it back about 50-70% it would be a more flattering, but still realistic end result.

@TheGamingNorwegian Жыл бұрын

Color grading was great, but the skin retouching and using the liquify tool went a bit too far into the "unhealthy amount of photoshop" direction...

@justinlaurens Жыл бұрын

Yeah Skin Retouching I find to be the most important part of any photo edit ✍️ I have a course which teaches you how to do it in the most effective yet natural way if you want to check that out. There’s too much to discuss in a KZfaq video… let me know

Every is fine with me, I'm well known with the tips, and thank you for perfecting them. Just if I may, and excuse me... I wanted to let you know that models shouldn't be thinner than they are. It drives girls insane, and sometimes can cause mental issues. Perfecting the shot and colors is one thing- Changing nature is a different topic. Thanks

It is just to correct the awkward posture not to change the way the model looks. She was hunched over and it made her look wider than she is in real life it was an unflattering illusion that she would not have accepted in her current form simply because it’s not an accurate representation. It’s a simple correction I’m not suggesting people use Liquify to make their models slimmer than they are.

@@justinlaurens i understand your point and why you did it, yet i feel it is somewhat "misleading" to other people that would take a picture in that pose and think "how does she look that thin whilst posing like that?"
