shanecusack Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hi Damien I've being following this photographers work and i have never been able to emulate his editing style, this is an example of his work and a similar photo of mine. Thanks in advance. http://www.aonimages.com/p376732090/h8138bf91#h30973587 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Unfortunately your photo is missing the really charismatic clouds that make the other photo so good, but how is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 @shanecusack? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanecusack Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 I love what you've done with it, I agree the clouds aren't the same but that's pretty much the moody look I was looking for. It goes well with our rugged Irish landscapes and inclement weather. Do you offer a class where I could possibly learn this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 No, no, not at all. I'll upload the PSD so you can see what I did. Stand by ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Download my PSD First, I duplicated the Background layer twice, and ran High Pass filter on both of them - first broad, and second narrow. This brings out the detail a bit. It also creates halos, but since those were in the example photo you linked too, I figured it was ok - part of the style. Then a Levels layer for an aggressive vignette. And finally another Levels layer for the hazy look. Make sure you look at all of the channels in this layer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanecusack Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Wow! That's so kind of you to share that with me, thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 No trouble! I enjoy this kind of question. If you try it on other photos, can you show us? Needless to say, if you fiddle with the sliders on the top layer, you'll get different colour effects. The possibilities are endless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanecusack Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 I,ll certainly try it out, ive taken quite a few photos lately that I think would work well in this style. I'll post the results when I'm finished. Thanks again for your help Damien. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
