RebeccaDwyer Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Hi Damien Could you help me to achieve this matte like effect. This is my photo basic edited and a photo of the effect I would like to achieve, thanks.
Damien Symonds Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Please re-read rules #1 and #4 of the posting guidelines. Ta.
RebeccaDwyer Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 Whoops sorry I was rushing and didn't read this. I can't seem to open an image on it's own, only an album with about 20 photos, so I can't link one photo by itself. Is it ok to post a link to album? I have a clean edited image of my own now.
RebeccaDwyer Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 Great thank you, I hope this is what you want I haven't posted a link before. http://www.rachelcallander.co/julia-nick/
Damien Symonds Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 I'm so sorry about my delayed replies. I've been making masterpieces (and a massive mess) in the kitchen in between internetting. 37 minutes ago, RebeccaDwyer said: Please do your clean processing and post again.

RebeccaDwyer Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 Is my clean edit not ok? It is just sharpened and I don't really want to change anything else. What would you like me to do? Sorry all of her photos have the matte effect on them, the one I partically like is the one where the bride is getting out of the car and you can just see her shoes and bottom of dress.
Damien Symonds Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Just now, RebeccaDwyer said: Is my clean edit not ok? Of course not. I'm certain the lady was wearing a white shirt.
RebeccaDwyer Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 Do you think it looks blue? I must need to calibrate my screen as it looks ok to my eye. Sorry about this, maybe I should buy a calibrator and ask once my white balance is sorted.
RebeccaDwyer Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 Wow smurf blue my screen must be massively out. Her jeans are under the bottom part of top making it look blueish.

RebeccaDwyer Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 Yes I do. I have opened the photo in camera raw several times and played with the temperature slider, opening it in Photoshop at different colour temperatures to compare them. I am finding that looking at the picture zoomed in on the top of the white singlet and adjusting the angle of my laptop screens gives different results. I have the picture saved at 3 different colour temperatures, can I show them to you to see if you think any of them is correct or close?
Damien Symonds Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 No, sorry, I can't do that here. You need to take The Raw Class for information like that.

Can you choose one that is more of a match for your photo? That one (the getting-out-of-the-car one) has a lot of shadow areas that your photo doesn't have. You need to choose a photo which has broad clear sky and lots of highlights, like yours does.
RebeccaDwyer Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 http://www.rachelcallander.co/featured-weddings/#/rachel-andrew/ Ok, so the image of the bride standing in a cereal crop paddock.
RebeccaDwyer Posted June 10, 2016 Author Posted June 10, 2016 Yes, I just don't like that the subjects are blurred, I would still like the image to look sharp.
Damien Symonds Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 No, they're not blurred. It's exactly the photo you sent me, you must just be viewing it at a too-large size.
RebeccaDwyer Posted June 10, 2016 Author Posted June 10, 2016 Ok yip that makes sense. Could you share how you created it?
Damien Symonds Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Yes, but not until you show me a clean edit. I don't teach my gymnasts to somersault before they can roll; nor would you expect your own children's teachers to teach them multiplication before they can add and subtract. The basics are vital, in any endeavour. PLEASE consider the Raw Class. It will change your life.
