E.H.S.T.G. before/after

bigger

 

Here is a little before/after of all the Eyes Have Seen the Glory promos I uploaded...

 

gotta love the 5d + L glass....it enabled me to do most of my editing in Camera Raw (saved me a TON of time!) The only one that gave me trouble was the top photo, before C.R. it was SOOOO dark.

 

I'll try my best to list what I did:

 

ACR:

- temp/tint adjustments

- contrast increase

- brightness increase

- minor clarity increase

- highlight/shadow color adjustment

- slight curves adjustment

- noise reduction

 

Photoshop:

- curves layer for contrast set to luminosity

- dodge and burn the entire photo (this took the longest out of everything I did....especially the top photo)

- more curves for more contrast

- color balance on bottom photo

- more noise reduction

- high pass layer

 

...I guess the point I was getting at is that the RAW files from the 5d paired with L glass are pretty darn awesome SOOC....and that's such a treat compared to my good ol' d40!

 

that's it folks! Let me know if you have questions =)

 

(p.s. - the left ones are NOT SOOC...they are after raw adjustments)

Done
