  2. Ok, great! Then follow the advanced troubleshooting part of my instructions to nudge slightly towards green.
  3. But you're not observing pinkness anywhere else? In greys, for example? Or blues that are a tiny bit on the purple side?
  4. Can you explain what you mean by "rosy"? Do you mean pinkness?
  5. That might mean that your lamp light is too warm, though.
  6. Did you see this thread? That's the kind of photo where soft-proofing is important.
  7. It's very common, yes. It would be significantly concerning if you saw a big chance. Out of the photos you've tried it on, do any of them have very vivid colours? Bright pink clothing or anything like that?
  8. See if you can get your lab's soft-proofing profile.
  9. I'm not for a moment suggesting it's not edited. I'm just saying, you couldn't edit any old photo to look like this - it has to have the right lighting.
  10. It's got to be the lighting, hasn't it? Looking at her eyes, would you say a large light above the photographer, and a reflector below?
  11. Great. Ok, talk to me about that. is it all colours, or only some?
  12. I reckon you'd just replace the whole background with a single colour, wouldn't you?
  13. So generally for shadowing I add a Hue/Saturation layer and move the Lightness slider to about -60. Then invert the mask. Then paint on gently to add the shadow where needed.
  14. It absolutely doesn't matter. They can be good, or crappy. Heck, they don't even need to be from your pro camera. They could be from your phone if you wanted! All that matters is that they're printed at a pro lab.
  15. Right. But you'll also need to trace some vein detail too.
  16. Can I see a screenshot of your layers panel?
  17. I'm not sure what you mean by "plan". If you want to turn this photo into a logo, you'll need to use the Pen Tool. That's the plan.
  18. Yeah, it's a hard thing to learn, all right. Have you ever seen this page?
  19. Yep, like most logos, that's a vector file created with the Pen Tool. Do you have any experience with that tool?
  20. Holy moley! You've done an excellent job, well done! You're right, just add some shadowing and call it done.
