nunubaby Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Hi Damien Just had Santa here this afternoon to take some test images. Hoping you can help me achieve a similar look to those images we discussed with the tone mapping? I already have the NIK collection installed. Link is here: http://clarksvillesanta.daphnesportraitdesign.com/ An image of mine is attached. Many thanks in advance!

Damien Symonds Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 If you have NIK, don't worry about anything else. Have you played with it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunubaby Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 I have indeed. I'm getting to know the various controls but I'm struggling to replicate this effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Well, I don't know anything about NIK, I'm afraid, but I'm quite sure you should start with proper clean raw processing as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunubaby Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Could this be moved to the section where other people can chip in then perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Yes, but can I see your clean raw edit first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunubaby Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Gosh no, worse!!!!!!!! Please read Modules 5 and 6 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunubaby Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Oops so just to clarify, the white balance is the only issue here? I've followed your flow chart through whilst working on this but I'm very much still training my eyes so thanks for your patience with me. I've used my pure white wall (not brightly lit) to select for white balance. The results weren't accurate when using the snowmen on the baby's romper or santa's white fur. Should I be posting in the raw section if this is a million miles away from correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, if only you could! I hope that you will jump at the chance to upgrade to Deluxe when it arises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 No, the white balance is still wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunubaby Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Just now, Damien Symonds said: No, the white balance is still wrong. I hear you, but I've tried the methods in your class, re-read the chapters suggested, tried again and I fully realise this is a case of me just not being able to see it how it should be. So without any more guidance, which I appreciate you can't give here to people who haven't paid for it... and with your admission that you don't know how to get the effect I'm after anyway.... then right now I reckon I'm best shelving this until I can go over it with somebody who might be able to help me.

PLEASE read module 5 again and again and again and again and again until it sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
