Thanks, Edwin, I learned something new.. I am not against high key, but IMHO if the high key is overdone, it has a detrimental effect in showing the wetness of clothes in the highlights, especially white wet transparent ones, where the contrast of the clothes with the skin is a bit lost.

I was just thinking if what I noticed is not so much high key but rather veiling lens flare. Here is an image to illustrate.

Though photographic art is subjective and I really like Victor's style, for some reason this and similar pictures are not my cup of tea

Every photo that comes out of my cameras (except Polaroids) are post processed, or "photoshopped". We use Photoshop CS5 to process images. I just feel that it adds to our overall look and style. A slight overexposure is high key and done right doesn't degrade the quality of the image

Technical question to producers

By GeorgeSK - Sun 16/03/14 13:49:44 GMT

A question to producers: Do you do post processing to your pictures or upload as they come out of the camera?

I am just asking because I like to use wetlook pics from my favourite producer (Wetfoto) as a desktop background and I noticed lately that many of the pics, especially the ones taken in bright sunlight, seem to be a bit "washed out" and overexposed.

When I do my image processing magic, they look like a totally different picture without them looking unnatural - adjusting levels and curves to get more contrast and as a finishing touch, I have a new weapon in my arsenal - Topaz Adjust 5, which gives them the required punch - nicer colours and more detail.

This was not meant as a criticism, just a question. I realise that it would be time consuming, but the basic levels and curves could be automated by finding a generic "good value" and use a Photoshop action to batch convert the images.

Thanks in advance for your reply.
