Although we probably do not qualify as producer, but we also do SOME postprocessing. Mainly cropping, white balancing, some intensity or color corrections. But not too much of it, since it can take quite a long time. The most important factor is getting good conditions before making the pics (especially light and makeup), then you don't need to postprocess that much. I use Photoshop and Lightroom for those work done after Maxi has retired to the sofa...

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.
