Inês Maia Posted June 16 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 16 Hi @Inês Maia, first of all let's fix the MUCH bigger problem. https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inês Maia Posted June 16 all done! it is in sRGB now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 16 Ok, now go ahead and do your raw processing on the photo. I'm very sure her dress isn't supposed to be blue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inês Maia Posted June 16 The raw processing was already done 😅 Does it look better like this? I don't have a screen calibrator yet, working on getting one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 16 It's somewhat better. It'll do for now. Ok, may I see the eye closeups again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 17 Regrettably, the two sides need completely different methods. https://max.mailbigfile.com/223bc86eaab1ee515e23f6fb8c67c72f/listFiles.php https://max.mailbigfile.com/a50117e6ddf4f0ace8e8d67a2f1756dd/listFiles.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inês Maia Posted June 17 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 17 Have you examined each layer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inês Maia Posted June 17 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 😅 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 17 Have a look at the individual channels in the Levels layer. See the little menu that says "RGB"? Pull that down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inês Maia Posted June 17 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 17 The Channel Mixer layer turns it to grey. The blurring was done with the patch tool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inês Maia Posted June 17 I've tried all combinations and it doesn't look as smooth as yours. can you help me see what is wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 17 That's not the Patch Tool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 17 The Patch Tool looks like this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inês Maia Posted June 18 ok, i think i got it. not 100% but i think it is quite ok. what do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 18 Gosh, it looks fantastic from here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inês Maia Posted June 18 🤩🤩 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inês Maia Posted June 18 around 40 😬 but some are not as bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 18 Oh hell. Ok, show me some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inês Maia Posted June 19 here goes the weirder ones, i have no idea how these patterns happened 🤦♀️: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted June 19 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
