Inês Maia Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Hi Damien, I just signed up to your page today, but have been following on facebook as well. I was wondering if you could help with this glass glare, which has a weird purple colour. I attached the picture with two crops for the eyes, each one has different "levels" of glare... I have some more pictures with this purple hue. Thank you!!
Damien Symonds Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Hi @Inês Maia, first of all let's fix the MUCH bigger problem. https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html
Damien Symonds Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 Ok, now go ahead and do your raw processing on the photo. I'm very sure her dress isn't supposed to be blue.
Inês Maia Posted June 16, 2022 Author Posted June 16, 2022 The raw processing was already done 😅 Does it look better like this? I don't have a screen calibrator yet, working on getting one
Damien Symonds Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 It's somewhat better. It'll do for now. Ok, may I see the eye closeups again?
Damien Symonds Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 Regrettably, the two sides need completely different methods. https://max.mailbigfile.com/223bc86eaab1ee515e23f6fb8c67c72f/listFiles.php https://max.mailbigfile.com/a50117e6ddf4f0ace8e8d67a2f1756dd/listFiles.php
Inês Maia Posted June 17, 2022 Author Posted June 17, 2022 These look perfect! I'm so sorry Damien, but is it possible to have a run down of the steps you did? My skills on photoshop are pretty basic...
Inês Maia Posted June 17, 2022 Author Posted June 17, 2022 Yes, I'm here at the moment. But now I have no idea how to put that histogram looking like yours... Is there a way to see what I'm selecting when I'm masking? Sorry, I have my program in portuguese. I've tried to change it to english, because it is easier to follow, but the only option I get for languages is portuguese 😅
Damien Symonds Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 Have a look at the individual channels in the Levels layer. See the little menu that says "RGB"? Pull that down.
Inês Maia Posted June 17, 2022 Author Posted June 17, 2022 yeah, found it and i 've done that eye! feeling dumb now 😶 Having a hard time with the other now. i was able to add the channel mixer and the levels layers. But cannot figure out the previous steps. How do you blur the hard line in the purple and then turn the purple to grey?
Damien Symonds Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 The Channel Mixer layer turns it to grey. The blurring was done with the patch tool.
Inês Maia Posted June 17, 2022 Author Posted June 17, 2022 I've tried all combinations and it doesn't look as smooth as yours. can you help me see what is wrong?
Inês Maia Posted June 18, 2022 Author Posted June 18, 2022 ok, i think i got it. not 100% but i think it is quite ok. what do you think?
Inês Maia Posted June 18, 2022 Author Posted June 18, 2022 🤩🤩 Thank you for all your help and patience! Just one last question: i have some more pictures with this problem. how do you choose the RGB values?
Inês Maia Posted June 19, 2022 Author Posted June 19, 2022 here goes the weirder ones, i have no idea how these patterns happened 🤦♀️:
Damien Symonds Posted June 19, 2022 Posted June 19, 2022 Ok, first apply this Channel Mixer layer to all of them. R +100, 0, 0, 0 G +87, 0, 0, -6 B +80, 0, 0, -9 (Make sure you get those numbers in EXACTLY the right order.) Then use the Handyman Method to fix whatever problems are left.
