Darkened Glasses - Dad

[nikkinisly]

Ok, here's the full pic and the 700px. Can you help me with these glasses please?

Gosh, darkness AND glare!  Tough combo.

Yes, I'll be able to help to a degree, at least.  But of course we must never do any Photoshop work until the raw processing is done, so go ahead and do that now, then post again.

Raw processing is done on this one. That bad, huh?

[Damien Symonds]

Atrocious.

[nikkinisly]

Started from scratch, any better?

Can we talk about this in class briefly?

[nikkinisly]

Yep, heading over there now.

Ok now that we finally got the image correct, how bout those glasses?

 

[Damien Symonds]

First, this Levels layer:

• R 39/1.08/178
• G 28/1.09/162
• B 13/1.05/174

Masked carefully to the glasses.  And maybe masked partially back off the glare parts.

Then add a Solid Color layer and clip it to the Levels layer.  Set its blend mode to "Hue", and choose a skin colour.  I used R214/G171/B146.  Then lower the opacity to your taste (I didn't lower mine very much).

That worked fantastic, thank you!

[Damien Symonds]

Great.
