Bride on the porch

Lynnya · August 10, 2017, 02:48:23 PM

Last two bride pictures... I've color corrected this several times and it comes up a bit yellow.. did a rgb levels, neutral gray in curves... then pumped up the whites in curves again from 230 something to the 40's... I added a tinge of blue (Hannie sits on my shoulder) - I don't know.. I'm wondering if it was late afternoon sun causing a nice warm light.. what do you think..I reduced the yellow a tad in hue/sat on the third one.. can't see a whole lot of difference but maybe some..?? I just added forth where I redid black white and gray points and then reduced the opacity of the layer by about 50%... hmmm I think it's better?

Oh my! :wow: Let me download and see if I can come up with an idea. Back in a bit.
Hey girl, on your WIP the dress and 2 front pillars have some blown out spots on my monitor. Here's a quickie. The whites are a bit low but with all the white I imagine those numbers will go up as you restore. Maybe this will spark another idea for you. Can't wait to see your next WIP!

Thanks shadow for doing that for me...

this is my wip so far.. as far as I can tell nothing is blown.. not on my screen anyway...I toned it down a bit... too much?? :-\

Boy you've come a long way. Maybe whiter on the columns?

Lynn, looking good. The only thing that doesn't look right is the bride's train. Do have some other photos showing it? The original is no help. :)

I'm thinking this is sunlight on the porch, not part of the train... She's holding up the train.

Thanks all for input.. so right on.. Kiska thanks.. I originally thought it was light.. then drifted off.. as I do.. Lyn thanks for your input too, I have a version that is whiter on the columns .. Margie that's why the train looks wrong.. it's not one ::)

Will be back later with a new wip :up:

here is my latest..need help please..

Beautiful Lynn! Excellent job with the sunlight on the porch spot! Teeny pic ... the 3 rd column from the front might benefit from a some smoothing/brightening? Way to go girl! :up:

Lynnya · August 11, 2017, 02:20:08 PM

Is this better?

Shadow · August 11, 2017, 05:45:21 PM

Better! On your screen, is there a white strip down the 2nd column on the right side?

Hannie · August 12, 2017, 06:07:35 AM

I think the white stripe is sunlight reflection.

Mhayes · August 13, 2017, 09:54:12 PM

I agree with Hannie. It looks better that way.

Okay, I may be crazy... but is she holding a dove?

Mhayes · August 14, 2017, 12:22:03 AM

Candice, you is crazy. :funny:

Margie

P.S. No offense.
