DESCRIPTION:
Photography & Light Setup
In our first section, we’re going to discuss all thoughts behind this project. We will also go through a complete light diagram and talk briefly about all light modifiers.
Preparations
In this section, we will start out with the basic raw conversion. Taking our image from camera raw (Basic adjustments) into Photoshop. We will then apply a help layer and point & talk about all dirty (dust marks etc.) areas.
Basic Clean-up & Light Control
In our third section we will concentrate on our first clean-up (Cloning & Healing) Process. Once we have completed this task we’re going to concentrate on the light control. This means building and structuring the light better with curves adjustment layers.
Color Balance, Dodge & Burn & Sharpness
In our next retouching section, our aim is to create a new color shift. This is a very suttle and small color adjustment move. Now we will apply the dodge & burn technique in order to create a wow effect on top. (We have an awesome free tutorial on our free tutorials page for you on – The Best of 3 Dodge&Burn techniques) For our second last step we will concentrated on an overall image sharpness. For these processes we will again be using a variety of different techniques.
Color Balance
Dodge & Burn
In this section, we will be working with our famous Dodge & Burn technique (We have an excellent Free Tutorial on this technique – Find it here). This means creating two new unique layers, one for dodging the highlights and one for burning the shadows. This would effectively emphasise the light in the image!
Sharpness
Final Adjustments & Corrections
In the last section, we will be concentrating on our last 20%. Applying the final color grades, checking sharpness & contrast and correcting all outstanding points.
