Title: B G and parents
Post by: Shadow on May 21, 2019, 06:13:08 PM
Hi gang. Know others have worked on these wedding pics so thought it would be prudent to see how the color looks on this one. Here it is with a Curves adjustment. Wondering about the men's suits. Here they look closer black and in Mary's pic the groom's suit looks closer to brown. Your thoughts and suggestions appreciated!

I think it looks a little too cold - a white dress versus an ivory. However the cutting the cake picture was very definitely a white gown. Your corrections match much better with that restore. There will be some differences because of the very harsh flash photography - even if the tuxes were not black, they could certainly have appeared black in the lighting used. I think the odds are higher for a black tux :)

Perhaps Bambi can designate one of these as the target colors and everyone else can aim at that too?

Thanks gang. This is where we are. Still have some wallpaper cleanup, otherwise, how's it look on your screens?  :cool:

Overall, really good, but I'm puzzled by the crop - it's the same image dimensions as the original, but the edges have been cropped and the remainder enlarged. So part of the bride's train is cut off (so is the furniture, but I don't suppose people will mind that).

The highlights look a little bright - on the bride's and mother's dresses. I painted in gray on a curves adjustment layer set to multiply blend mode on those dresses and part of the carpet in the foreground and it made things look a little less washed out.

The only other thing I think I see are a couple of odd lines on the older man's hands that look like remaining damage.

The little thing that I see is the pink teeth on the mom and bride.
