Hi, if it can help you...this look can be achieve with 2 methods with Photoshop. 1-Frequency Separation 2- Dodge and Burn...and probably reduced the red with Hue and Saturation in Photoshop Do a search on youtube you'll find tutorials on those methods. Good luck!
Try this! In photoshop, Open a Black and White Adjustement layer and put it on HIGH CONTRAST BLUE FILTER(from the presets option) and put the opacity at around 15% play with the red and yellow slider...you should get something like you want. But , keep in mind the model on the photo has a really brown tan to start from. They desaturated the red first and the overall image.
HI. I just came across this post. Would appreciate if anyone can share this style of Editing Tutorial. Especially dark tonal Style. TIA...
I think you will find this PSD to be helpfull: https://gumroad.com/jonathanchafloque#OIqA just substitute the base file and adjust the parameters accordingly. You can download some practice files here: https://retouchingacademylab.com/free-raw-practice-files/ Don't forget that lighting is 80% in this type of photographs!
Hey @puppetwarp The Youtube channel Piximperfect has tons of tutorials, given enough time this could be good for you. Check it out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMrvLMUITAImCHMOhX88PYQ/playlists
Here's my 2 cents on this. If you watched most of RGGEDU tutorials, Pratik Naik, Lindsay Adler... And other great tutorials we have here... You probably can achieve the same result already. If you don't, is probably because you don't have enough patience. See, even pro's take 1 hour to make a retouch shine and be perfect, and they do this for a LONG time, they know what they want and how to do it, but they still take 1 hour to finish the work because it takes this long to achieve this results. There's no shortcuts if you want something that looks amazing and natural, something that don't look too artificial. I can guarantee if anyone here that watched 10's of tutorials, you know about frequency separation, you know about dodge and burn... just spend 4 hours on the same image, pixel peeping, and you will get an amazing image. Question is... is it worth it? For me, not. I've spent 10 hours retouching 10 photos of a client, probably the best work I've done. But at the end of the day, I earn the same doing the same job in 30 minutes. The result will be worse? Of course, but not that my clients will see much of a difference. Now I just use portraiture and 90% of the time is good enough, just do minor adjustments. It depends on what you want to achieve and how much of your time you want to spend on retouching. Sure you can impress a lot of people with your hour-long retouching skills, if its that what you want, go for it. Try to focus 4 hours on the same image. Heck, spend 8 hours on the same image and see what you can achieve. I prefer to spend my time on client acquisition. Do you have enough patience to do this? https://www.instagram.com/p/BjGjqqsFrfa/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BZcv_46l9ZO/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BwNDrq6hz7A/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BrgpyHlnFo_/ I admire that guy... He just proves that there's no secret, you just need to put the time
Out of all the retouched tries of this image, this is the best one I seen. No one never touched the earring and paid this much detail to the image. It’s a speed retouch but you get the idea. Dodge and burn is the key https://youtu.be/bsLpJgBH7go
