Before and After - Photo Editing
 

Trying out new plugins, some for artistic effect, some for photo enhancement.

Love this woman's tanlines. Enhanced them a little :)

Tried to see what I could do to remove some of the noise and de-JPEG this really old scan.

I love Your work ,,,If you have the time request to do one of my photos

Thanks ezliner. I'll search for yours and post one of them when I get a chance.

Some turned out better than others.

Always thought this poor girl needed a new liver whenever I saw her posted in the Polaroid threads.

Great work!
 

:rolleyes:

These are great
 

what software program are you using?

I have some polaroids I would like to try

Thanks. I used Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5 with the following plug-ins: Topaz Adjust, Topaz DeNoise, Topaz Clean, Topaz DeJPEG and Nik Color Efex Pro 4 (depending on the picture I used 1 or 2 of the plug-ins per picture.)

Amazing tits :)

Jotoyourwife,

Hopefully this comes across as constructive criticism...? But, you need to tweak your settings on the plugins to avoid the overcooked effects. i.e. bring the sliders back a bit on some, but more is required on the other sliders.

Below is an example of what I mean using the same plugins but with "tweaked" settings. I'm happy to give some tips if you (or others) want some, or you can just tell me to go to hell..!

On the subject of the plugins - they are great fun, aren't they!

Did this one when someone asked for it ...
 

I pulled these two pictures off another thread ... before and after . I tried to fix a very small and damaged picture for a fellow who asked for help ... he said he liked the change .

Kev, on that one I deliberately went way over the top and with it, but your version looks really really awesome. Love to share tips with you sometime!

A little color and brightness correction:

Adding color:

Guys,

Tip.1
The first thing you need to get right is the white balance. Look on you tube for some videos showing you how to set the white balance on whatever program you are using - this should be your first step before you even start playing with the plugins.

Below (while not perfect) is a very quick example of how by adjusting the white balance, you lose the color cast that appears on the base image. Once I have the color somewhat sorted, only then do I move onto the actual edit/plugin.

Also, another simple way in Photoshop is create a new layer, click on > Image, > Adjustments, > Curves, then hit auto - this isn't the best, but it is somewhere for you to begin if you have never played with adjustments..

white balance
 

Here is another example of white balance.

The first image is nice enough, but with the white balance and sharpening applied, it becomes a totally different image. This has not had the plugins added yet and you can see a distinct difference.

Hope this helps?

The butt shot I took, the rest of it was public domain.

Abstract silliness:

This and the previous two posts are all the same girl, but the pictures weren't all taken at the same shoot.

Giving it a try with Lightroom, Color Efex, and Dfine.

Trying a few more. Beginning file size really makes a difference. Maybe someday we'll all be uploading RAW photos instead of just raw photos. ;-)

Before and after clothed/unclothed:

few more

Removed her stretch marks (apologies to the guys who like stretch marks!)

Really love this one
 

any more of her?

I found her in the Polaroids and Old Pics thread on the XXX board. I don't have any others, but there may be some in there if you dig around.

Went over the top with these.

This girl has always been one of my favorites.

A couple more.

A few more. . .

Tanlines + dark bush = :)

Fucking around with Celia's pics.

Love her dark hair.

Cranked up a few settings to try to bring out some more detail in this one.

*****PHOTO REMOVED- TOO MUCH PHOTOSHOP*****

Photoshopping to enhance "see-through" is not permitted.

Tried a different approach with this one.

*****PHOTO REMOVED/ SEE ABOVE EXPLANATION*****

I have a feeling that I may be the only person on here who appreciates BOTH the rocks and her camel toe.

Give it a bit more height and I may be interested in the rocks :)
