Roman, I thought you said you were going to have a go at this for me. Guess you forgot? ;) Anyway, I tried myself using the dodge and burn tool as you suggested. Is this good or does it still need more tweaking?
Anybody else looking, feel free to chime in too! For those who missed my original post, here's the link to it.
Hey Christopher,
sorry....in the middle of doing my bathrooom renovation. I went a little heavy handed...as i like infrared so the white may not be to everyones liking...mostly using the lasso tool in small areas and doing levels layer adjustments.....then dodged and burned varying the opacity. Yours has a softer feel....which I like....mine is a bit more bold, so you may not want to go in that direction but this will give you a few ideas you may want to try. let me know what you think.
PS had to save at 56 quality
Thanks Roman! I was sure you had a good reason :). Personally I prefer the softer feel of my image, but do like what you did too. I think I'll probably play with this some more, maybe try something more in between your take and mine. Would like to hear other people's opinions on this too.
Hey Christopher,
Stay away from any contrast boost then or adding blacks in selective color. That is the biggest difference in the softness area. The levels layers and burning will be OK and not as strong. Hope others chime in too.
