DH Post-Processed Portraits




A month ago, gw3n posted a link on her multiply blog (http://amiagnecimme.multiply.com/photos/album/28/DH_Photoshop_Technique..) about a Dave Hill post processing technique over at Flickr's Strobist group (http://www.flickr.com/groups/strobist/discuss/72157594577686705/). I've been itching to try it yet never had the time. Well, tried it this morning with some tweaks. It looks good on some yet horrible on others, especially outdoor and brightly-lit shots. Got some old photos (I think they're all in my past albums here) and high-pass filtered, enhanced and bg'ed like crazy. Usually I only resize and occasionally crop so this is experimental for me (I usually have the grfx guys at the mag do it). Puro madalian lang. Hirap magbura ng imperfections. :D Did some in 2 while others in 3 passes hence the multiple files. It generates too much skin tone noise on the files for my tastes.

  1. Si Gw3n nkaita nun. :D I remember we were trying to approximate a Dave Hill effect sa office nung 2006-07 pero hindi namin makuha. :( May drawback nga lang, talagang lilitaw lahat ng pimples dahil sa sharpening effect. Pag tight portrait e magugulat ka na lang at labas lahat imperfections O_o;; At least yung pusa walang pimples. :D
