The "Fake Model" processing

[JamesB]

After reading Allens post , I decided to give this a try. I heard about it years ago, but was not really interested. But now I think i have a new step for post processing for certain images.

Here are a few samples

Seems to work. These look like models to me. Interesting.

Did you follow the same process listed in my other thread? I think those look really good. Nice work.

James, those aren't models? You had me fooled until I read the posts, good job.

Allen, yes I followed the steps in the link you provided. I tried it once and it worked, but I did not like where the focus point was so when I tried to go back and change it. I could NOT get the quick Mask function to work properly. I closed PS, opened it again and still no luck. I restarted the PC and still no good. I dont know what I did but it eventually started working again.

I tried it on a lot of photos last night and found that this technique is NOT for every image.

Ha Ha! That's cool.

When I opened this thread I thought you were trying to make models look real. And I was like, hmmmm, they still look like models to me.

Fooled me!

The tutorial that I followed in the magazine actually had a few more steps involved than that of the link provided. Obviously what you did worked.

I'm not sure, but I think his camera had a lot to do with the look of those National Geographic pics.

Here's an attempt. I need to find a shot I have with better perspective though.

I've found that it seems more like a model if there is less sky in shot, either through cropping or shooting down on the subject if possible.

great job james, that third one is so smooth it looked just like a model.
