We believe that the creative process needs to be divided by specialists, which is the main reason why we can get them done quickly and properly. This is the reason why our images are stand out further than many other studios. Signature edits are hand edited by graphic design specialists with art direction by David. The editing required is a significant more amount of time than our color correction and creative edits. These customized photographs go through a process of taking an image from excellent to extraordinary. Our Signature Photos are unique and are taken from the beginning with a signature edit in mind. Total time involved: Individual images varies & 4-5 hours of initial time per wedding We also can do this process to photographs that a client chooses for their album or prints in addition to our recommendations if requested. This process is very meticulous and will be done to a selection of images that we recommend to use in your album. A classic example is a picture where a little kid didn’t smile but did in the next photo one snap later (almost exactly the same image) and you wish they smiled on the picture prior but didn’t (hopefully not to confusing for you to understand). In some cases, we can open or close a person’s eyes or even swap heads like on little kids. This can include brightening or darkening parts of an image, removing elements like street signs, or background distractions. Step 3 had us adding global changes but in step 5 we break each particular image down into sections and add localized adjustments to make the image stand out. This means we go through by hand and individually make color and tonal adjustments to specific parts of each individual image. Creative edited images have already gone through color correction prior to their creative edit but now we apply localized edits to each of them.
#Rdg portrait retouching skin
This image consisted of dodging, burning, skin softening, teeth whitening, vignette, color adjustments and the retouching of stray hairs. The last step in the process is to make sure that the skin tones in each image is treated by utilizing the orange channel and separating the texture from the color, allowing for smoother skin tones and a better color grade.Ĭreative Edits are done to certain selected images in your gallery. We will also add sharpening and noise reduction into images that were taken in low-light situations to ensure the highest quality digital file for making beautiful prints. Generally speaking, we are adjusting the hue and saturation in red and orange to give skin tones their best look. It is necessary to make color adjustments on all of the images.
#Rdg portrait retouching software
With that said, modern software does a great job at handling these tough scenarios. Preserving highlight and shadow detail can be more difficult in high contrast environments like photographs that were taken outside at noon on a clear blue sky day. We adjust the color in an image to help find the most neutral color possible. This will sometimes cause an image to have a mixture of colors that do not translate well. Weddings and other photography scenarios are often photographed in mixed lighting scenarios. We make these adjustments using specialized software & calibrated monitors to get the best results. During this part of the process, we go through every individual picture and correct its exposure level (we photograph exposure as correct as possible in camera), color, contrast, white balance, black & white points, highlights, shadow detail and clarity. These selection of images are designed to tell your wedding story or photography session in the form of an album.Ĭolor and tone correction are necessary to the polishing of an image. This helps us quickly sort and navigate through many images and also helps organize them inside of your client gallery.įrom that point, we get into the editing process and mark the creative edits that we will be processing. This would include phrases like “detail shots”, “formal family pictures” or “reception”. Once we narrow the images down to what’s best, we tag the images to help organize them better for us and for you. During our culling process, we remove blurry images, eye blinks, unflattering expressions, or duplicate photos to best tell the story of your wedding or photography session. During this process we “cull” your images which is the process of going through a large collection of images to select those that are the best. We use programs that specialize in organizing images which makes it easier for us to browse through your RAW image files. A master folder is created for your image files to live in.
