Description

This is the finished image of my last upload. this is still not a tutorial,but just me explaining what i do in postwork. first i duplicate the image then go to Image/Adjustments/Levels and play with the sliders to attain a better overall depth to the image.then go to Image/Adjustments/Shadow Highlights/Adjustments.and i adjust the colour correction and midtone. i then adjust the brightness(lower)and contrast(higher). then duplicate the original image again and convert this to black+white.put this layer to the top and reduce opacity to about 10-15% this helps to tone down the colours to a more realistic tone.then flatten the image.i then cropped the image and added the hair. job done. i know this is very basic but with these few steps the image can be transformed without to much of an effort and its as easy as moving a slider untill you are happy with what you see. if you compare this to my last upload you wiil see the difference. if anybody wants more information are help just drop me a line. john......aka zx9rjohn

Well, your images always look perfect but your method seems quite scary because you can't tweak it later.Do you use adjustment levels and convert the layers into smart objects? Less destructive and it's easier to go back and undo something.Just an opinion.
