| You Can't Be Serious!!  | Need portrait retouching (image not posted) -
09-14-2006, 10:30 AM
I have a portrait of my son and me that I scanned, but it lost its pristine portrait appearance in the process. It isn't horrible, but it could use a little help. I have no idea how to retouch portraits so would someone who really knows how to do this be willing to do a quick touch-up for me and convert to b&w? I'd rather email the image to the willing party than post it here for a "contest."  Edit: If it makes a difference, I'm going to be using it for web, not printing it. --------------------------- Everyone wants to be a rock star, but no one wants to learn the chords. |

I would let the post sit for a bit. Someone that's good at this kind of thing will see the post and help you out. If I thought I could do it justice I would gladly give it a try. I have retouching software (add-on to CS2) and have done a little of it but I'm not very impressed with my skills --------------------------- Blog I've got raw unbridled talent when it comes to making mistakes It's time to go fishing <*)}}}>< |

Maybe you're right. I just thought that after 12 hours and no replies, people were put off by my request. I'll be patient and let it set for a while longer. Thanks. --------------------------- Everyone wants to be a rock star, but no one wants to learn the chords. |

If nobody with skills ponies up I'll take a shot at it... Is it just scratches and noise? or color? or what? Come to think of it... that might be why there were no respoinses... the might be skeert  Sometimes retouch can mean pixel by pixel reconstruction PS... I just found this so they probably just misse it... --------------------------- Blog I've got raw unbridled talent when it comes to making mistakes It's time to go fishing <*)}}}>< |

Oh, no, nothing like that. After scanning it, a red color cast appears in the image, especially our faces. I can remove that with curves or levels, but there's also a shiney highlight on my forehead and a couple of other places that don't appear in the original print. I'd like it to look nice because I'm going to extract myself and use the image on a couple of web sites. --------------------------- Everyone wants to be a rock star, but no one wants to learn the chords. |

Is it copyrighted by another photographer? When you say "portrait" that's what I think of a professional portrait... |

That's what I would do. It is a violation of federal copy right law. When people call and ask me I'm usually pretty accomidating... he might even sell you digital file if there was one... if you're only using it for web stuff. |

More than likely the photographer will give him permission to do what he needs to do with the scan. Hat's off to John for caring. --------------------------- Blog I've got raw unbridled talent when it comes to making mistakes It's time to go fishing <*)}}}>< | |
