 ID: 237093 Posts: 1390 | Date: 2008-06-24 12:55 You can do it yourself & the software doesn't cost that much, most of us have
photo editor software that came with our printers, photoshop isn't the light,
Ulead is better!
I got the message you sent Dante... I'm not a model & even if I wanted to be I
ain't got the looks! and the photo's I have on my profile have been edited &
some of the background on 1 has been wiped over so the monitors can't be
seen. |

Don't take this the wrong way but in my opinion I am not sure that you know what
you are talking about. Ulead may be easier to use but the fact stand most photo
editors use photoshop. Photoshop allows you to do many types of filters or
enhancements to a photo. Professionals like using photoshop cause it has the
most options to edit both photos and computer graphics. Yes I do tend to like
the more vibrant colors. But for the most part I do think the photos look more
clear then they did before. I guess that some people do not like the vibrant
colors as much as I do. I guess I am just use to looking at High Definition
photos on an HD monitor.Dante' A V |

Don't know what I'm talking about? come again?
I have actually got photoshop, and Ulead, and I've got other software app's
too!
I also have a PCI card in the old PC to bring it up to match the new one, I also
have a top end macintosh! |

ID: 245208 Posts: 90 | Date: 2008-06-24 15:23 What I meant is that in the professional world photoshop is known as the best
program for Photo editing and Graphic Design Creation. However You may have a
different opinion then the professional world witch you are totally entitled to.
I do know that for any major graphic job witch includes photo editing when you
apply they recommend that you have photoshop experience for a certain period of
time for work experience. But you never see Ulead as a requirement for a job.Dante' A V |

 ID: 217638 Posts: 13 | Date: 2008-06-24 15:27 I liked most of the "after" shots a lot. I, too, prefer more vibrant colors and
I, too, find that not everybody else does!
I noticed that in #3 the foreground seemed clearer but the face area more
shadowy. I use photoshop too, but sometimes I lose patience trying to select
which parts to modify. In #5, the dress might be a little too washed-out.
In general, though, I think they are greatly improved  |

ID: 237093 Posts: 1390 | Date: 2008-06-24 17:26 If you get the lighting right, in a studio that's no problem as there's plenty
lights available, or indoors anywhere else, you shouldn't need to do anything
except maybe crop th picture, outdoors just go with the natural light & use it
to your benefit & you don't need to ajust anything! not even the size as the
majority of internet users have broadband if it's for the web you don't need to
scale the res down to 72dpi
I have camera's ranging from sony ericsson cybershot phones that I always have
on me right up to Canon EOS450D with a whole array of canon lenses & I've even
been arrested in London for taking celeb's photo's in the past (occupational
hazard!)
I have got photoshop, I don't swear by it by any means but do occasionally use
it! |

OK Grey I under stand about lighting and everything, however even if you have
good lighting the there is no guaranty that you will get I nice clear picture.
The following goes with any camera. You can have any camera that you have the
money for and still you can be doing everything right. The lighting is good, the
camera is on the right setting and you have the right angle, but when you snap
that shot the camera can misinterpret the contrast creating a light Grey fog
over everything. You may accidentally move the camera creating a slight blur.
The camera can over or underestimate the lighting and make the picture to bright
or to dim. The camera can mis-interpretate the color of an object. This is my
point just because a camera takes a bad picture doesn't mean that the picture
doesn't have potential it just means it needs the enhancements to bring the
potential out. Thus the need for Computer Graphic Artists or Photo enhancement
artists and the use of photo shop.Dante' A V |

Photoshop is a program that most professionals use for computer graphic creation
or photo enhancements. It is a rather hard program to operate because there is
so much you can do. I understand how you can get frustrated with photoshop. You
can ask me or put a note on the forum asking how to do certain improvements or
creating certain effects cause there are a lot of people that use photoshop on
Jurgita. I think the best thing you can do to understand Photoshop is go to a
community college or a small college and take a class on photoshop as it will
take you through a lot of valuable lessons. Oh and remember in photoshop if you
aren't a little frustrated then you probably aren't learning anything.Dante' A V |

ID: 237093 Posts: 1390 | Date: 2008-06-24 22:46 If the camera moves at the critical moment the shutter reacts & the picture
blurrs it's gone though, still need to take it again!
But still... there's no real need to touch the picture if it's clear & sharp
from the camera & the colour is perfect as it stands |

I know that unless you know that you can do something to the photo that will
improve the photo. But even then it is just a an opinion that makes the decision
weather you can make it look better or not. Take my photos enhancements I think
that my improvements make the photos look better in my opinion However, this may
or may not be so in others opinions.Dante' A V |

 ID: 247404 Posts: 151 | Date: 2008-06-25 10:56 I have to agree with Kim. The photos look too enhanced, especially the jeans in
the pictures, also I find the subjects look like they are made from
porcelin..
Keep up the work, but you really need to have an eye for these things, all but
one of the photos photo 3, looked better before then after. |

I don't know whether Dante is a photographer or if it's graphics he works with
for sure though I'm sure he will enlighten us there |

ID: 245208 Posts: 90 | Date: 2008-06-25 13:23 OK just to clarify I am not a Photographer I am however a graphic artist. Like I
stated before Some people may not like the more vibrant colors. However I am
finding out that some people do like the more vibrant colors. the overall
picture is what I like to concern my self with. When I look at a picture there
are three things I look at. Quality of the picture most of the pictures I pick
out have some kind of haze on them caused by a mis-calculation of brightness and
contrast and some times the haze is an over calculation of color. as you can see
for your self the haze i most of the pictures is gone. If the picture is to pix
elated I usually can't do anything about that. secondly is the skin. Like all
modeling agencies that I have read up on one of the major pet peas are the
hygiene of there shin. when you see a commercial or a photo shoot the persons
skin is smooth as silk. I try to smooth out the skin by covering up any
blemishes that I can see. And the last thing is color. In many of the pictures
that I have worked on not just the ones on display the colors look washed out to
a certain extent. Weather it be because of the haze that is on top of it when
taking the haze away it does not always fix the color of the clothes or the
background props.
Maybe I have been using the saturation a little to much. as i mentioned before I
do appreciate all critique that I get and will take in consideration the
suggestions on my next photo enhancements. As a Graphic Artist I go through this
every day. If the logo, Brochure, or advertisement doesn't look like what he/she
wants it to look like we have to go back and fourth with his/her suggestions and
my enhancements or changes. I never said that I was a professional Photo
Enhancement Artist and as you can clearly see I am still learning. All your
critiques are helping me to learn and I thank you all for the great critiquing.Dante' A V |

In regards to your question before you deleted it.
I am taking the pictures straight off of the profiles of other members. When I
do so I send a message to them letting them know that I have done so. If they
have any objections and want me to take there pictures down I let them know that
all they have to do is tell me. I also provide the URL in the message in case
thy would like to critique on there enhanced photos.Dante' A V |

ID: 247404 Posts: 151 | Date: 2008-06-25 13:42 Hey Dante, I understand what you are trying to say, but look at the photos IE #1
with the jeans.. The jeans don't look right now, and the one with the girl who
looks like a doll. It doesnt improve her skin complexion, it makes her look
fake.. Beauty and touch ups are one thing, but making someone look like a
cartoon character wont get them any futher then they are now. If anything it
will set one of the potential scouters away from them.
Maybe just work on your lighting of the photo, but dont actually touch it to
much |

ID: 247404 Posts: 151 | Date: 2008-06-25 13:47 Also, look at photo 4 I believe it is. the one with the girl in the white shirt.
It is too bright. I can barely look at it. I had to turn down the brightness on
my monitor so I could actually focus on it.
Like I said, keep working at things, and with practice comes expterise. |
