Ereagan Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 The girl with the braces' hair looks crimped. It was perfectly straight in real life so I am assuming it is moire. I've tried just about every tutorial I can find and nothing seems to work. How can I fix it in PS or LR? Ignore the bra showing and the horrid tan lines...the pic I'm attaching is SOOC. I know how to fix those things but that "crimped" hair is driving me bonkers. It will be printed 30x40 (if that even makes a difference). Thank you thank you thank you!

Damien Symonds Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Hi Erin, may I see a 100% crop from the SOOR? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ereagan Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Honestly, I don't really see it much at 100% but the client got a 4x6 printed and it was definitely crimpy looking. Trying to make sure it's fixed before I fork out the money for her 30x40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Yes, that's right, I figured this would be an output issue, not a camera or editing one. Did you prepare the 6x4 print for the client, or did s/he get it printed themselves? If the latter, do you know which lab they used? Could it have been a crappy one?

Ereagan Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 I started over with this image so this image is not edited the exact same way as the one I originally sent her that printed "crimped" so MAYBE it was my fault?? It was most definitely a crappy one...costco. I did not prepare as 4x6. She just had the 11x15 cropped file on a flash drive. I did export out of LR and not PS which I now know is a no no. You told me how to prepare the file for 30x40 print in another thread...What would be the best way to prepare a file like this for a flash drive so that this crap won't happen again? Do I just do the same thing but instead of cropping to 30x40, I crop with 11x15 dimensions and 300 PPI in PS? (If it matters, I allow clients to print at any size. I recommend Mpix but they don't listen...ever.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 All of this is explained in the Print Sharpening Class, I promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ereagan Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 My issue with jumping into that class right now is that I feel like I need to start with raw and work through them in "order"...oh and I needed to order this print like yesterday. -said by every photographer everywhere I'm sure. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Yes, it's a real blight on the profession. I can't think of any other profession where people start a business and accumulate clients first, then gradually learn the craft later. I'm not meaning to offend you personally, just making an observation about the industry as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ereagan Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) Honestly, I think every profession is a little like that. I went to grad school to be a school counselor but there is only so much you can learn in classes and internships. I have learned more since getting my counseling job through hands on experience than I would've ever learned in a class. I'm would think that lawyers, teachers, and other professionals are the same way. Now having said that, I definitely shouldn't have been charging and taking clients when I first started photography years ago. I was one of "those" and am embarrassed by my early work. I have come quite a ways though and have come to realize that the more I learn, the more I realize how little I truly know. I honestly don't think photographers realize how bad they are until they improve and know better. I don't think the industry is ruined because of the photographers that are trying to learn; I think the real issue are the photographers that produce crap work and think that it's AMAZING and never try to get better. Thanks for your help! =) Edited September 3, 2016 by Ereagan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
