    Chanel Soap and Bubbles | Post-Production


    In this follow-up to his Chanel Soap and Bubbles Shoot, Karl takes you step by step through his meticulous editing and retouching process.

    He refines the colours and textures of the soap and bubbles, and works methodically to create the striking tones and reflections on the acrylic rods that give the final image such polish and elegance.

    In this detailed but highly accessible demonstration, you’ll pick up a range of useful tips as Karl uses the selection tool, the clone stamp tool, the polygon lasso tool, and more.

    He also uses multiple layer masks, adds noise and Gaussian blur, makes colour adjustments by tweaking hue and saturation, sharpens key areas, and burns and dodges to boost contrast and three-dimensionality.

    As he works, Karl emphasises the importance of working “by feeling, not by numbers.” Watching him make decisions based on instinct and intuition, you’ll learn to trust your eye and gain confidence in your creative vision.
