StudioPopJess Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 I tried moving his glasses and tried to move my light.. then ended shooting anyways :(. Is there a way to fix this!?
Damien Symonds Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Hi @StudioPopJess, yes, I think I can help you with those. Did you shoot raw?
Damien Symonds Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Oh, wonderful. Ok, go ahead and do your raw editing on these photos, then post them again for me.
StudioPopJess Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 I did already, I was going to use levels to lighten them.
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Oh, no no no no no no no. That's VERY bad. You must do your raw processing properly.
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Once your photo gets to Photoshop, the data is no longer high quality raw data, it's just plain ol' pixel data. Photoshop is suitable for minor brightness tweaks, but overall brightness MUST be corrected in raw where the data quality is so much more robust.
StudioPopJess Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 Ok... what should I do then.. I've been adjusting everything In raw, and then lightening them in levels
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 This is grossly underexposured. You must crank that Exposure up in raw.
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Are you sure your monitor calibration is ok? How long since you compared your screen to your pro lab prints?
StudioPopJess Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 I made it under exposed to have everything deep and rich and just lighten them.. OOPS

StudioPopJess Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 I probably need to do it again... I just did a update and it messed everything up.. Im just trying to deliver these as these are over due and Im scared and not sure what to do with them.. I'll find my calibrator and work on that asap... any way to address how to fix the green and purple glare? I wanted to spend more time moving them to adjust. but dad was frustrated and making me nervous so I just started snapping
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 We'll get to that, don't worry. I'm here for the next 13 hours. Check your calibration first and let me know how it looks.
StudioPopJess Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 I am having a hard time finding where I put it.. I did post to borrow one... I've tried googling how to cancel it out and can't figure out.
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Never mind. For now, can you just compare some pro lab prints to their print files in Photoshop, to make sure your screen's brightness is EXACTLY correct?
StudioPopJess Posted January 31, 2019 Author Posted January 31, 2019 I have it all the way down to the lowest to match a print
Damien Symonds Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Wonderful!!! Now can you see how dark your photos are? Go ahead and edit them properly, then post them again for me.
Damien Symonds Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 So that we don't get bogged down any longer, let's pretend this is ok, and press on with the glasses issue. But you have a BIG problem. PLEASE don't wait any longer to take the Raw Class, I beg you. Now can you give me some 100% crops so I can see the glasses problems close up?
