Before and After

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Before and After

Postby rangie on Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:55 pm

After some feedback I have tried to make some changes to these photos. Firstly, I have changed the white Balance in Capture NX, hopefully this is a better WB, it looks better on my monitor. Also, on the second image I have cropped to include their hand (i don't know what i was thinking when i cut them out?? *slaps self on forehead*) and tried my hand at cloning the distracting background out of the pic. I also tried to use the healing brush to remove wrinkles from under the womans eyes (notice I said tried, my first time with the healing brush, I think i need more practice with this)

Let me know your thoughts...

Looks like smugmug is blocking hot linking. If you right click the word image in each case, and click view image, but they won't display in the post.

It looks to me that the "after" image No 1 has a magenta cast now, and the "after" image No 2 has even more of a cyan cast? I say this viewing them on a 5 colour monitor that wouldn't know what calibration is. :D

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.
