I would leave as is, cutting off hands and feet for framing might be taboo but the photo here works so well with your initial framing, the space, with the sun hitting the leaves and the expression of your grandfather are so incredibly warming, I wouldn't lose anything. forest spirit fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Jun 11, 2023 |

It’s one of those but edited a bit and saved as a new profile with a random name. I can’t say which one it originally was  Pity they discontinued the desktop profiles, I really like them  Umm maybe it was originally a FP100C profile?

Nephzinho posted:I tried to track those presets down recently and getting anything is a nightmare at this point. Yeah, I friggin' love how much I paid for those things (I think I bought 3-4 of the packs), only to have them get pulled from their site a couple years later. I get not offering ongoing support or creating new profiles for a legacy product, but it feels like a big "eff you" when they pull the original files. Like, at least leave a torrent up or something, what could it possibly cost you? Fortunately I saved the install files to an external hard drive as I've been burned in a similar fashion by other companies before.

     Haven't retouched these yet for skin blemishes (and tones in her makeup in the white outfit) but these are some of my current favorites. edit: The imgur compression just keeps getting worse too, ugh. They don't even look the same in different browsers:  same imgur .jpeg link in firefox v chrome. wild. lets try a screenshot dropped into discord  much better Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 08:02 on Jun 18, 2023 |

Big fan of the framing and overall feel of the last photo there. Good separation from the background with good bokeh, and I, personally like the coloring of it. The grading looks like you maybe threw the shadows into a blue/green and lifted the blacks which gives a magazine feel. Overall I think that matches her feel and I think it works in this photo. Middle two photos are good, a little more separation between subject and background might have helped a bit, with more of a feel for where they were taken evident in the background, though I don't know how much room you had to play with. Stairs photo... I like the composition. Call me crazy if I'm overlooking a specific effect you're going for here, but I have to ask. Did you intend to make the sky green?

Re profiles chat. I'm a big fan of Laura Sheridan who does really nice painterly portraits. I bought a pack of her Lr presets and they are fab.

Push limits. It's through trial and error you'll find cool techniques. Do you have discord? I went nuts one day in Lightroom and came up with this

these are some of my fave pics I've taken. I've basically arrived at a place where I am super happy with the end result. end result of a lot of lessons including narrowing down on my style and what I am good at

these are nice and she looks fun to shoot with one thing.. and bear in mind these are personal opinions, but some hues of green imo a touch ugly you've got a lot of green going on, including her hair, try moving the hue slider for that green hue and see if you like it a touch either way (you may not, and also not saying her hair is bad, I'm thinking of the background). the calibration slider can also do this but it's a bit of a broad stroke if you ask me. perhaps shifting the temperature might do a similar thing I am glad she's happy with them, that's the most important thing for sure, and imo there are only two people's opinions that really matter and that's yours and hers, although it's always nice to have others tell you they like them  what lens is that and also what time of day was it shot echinopsis fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Jun 28, 2023 |

Your editing is completely ruining the shots. I don't know if you used a preset or just hacked with HSL/Curves but there's a strong color cast on the whole image that's making her look green and purple (and not in a way that works with her style). The sky in the first one is especially notable for being rough, bring that aqua blue luminance back up to something less unnatural and the hue back to what a sky should look like. There's nothing wrong with stylistic edits but these don't work at all IMO. As for the compositions, the last is the best by a good bit. The first is an awkward angle and along with the third all the lines intersecting the subject distract from her. The second is better in both pose and composition but that window is also cluttered compared to the rest of the background. Last one is great, good clean background, complimentary angle and natural pose. I don't know if anyone would be interested, but I've made some in depth film emulation presets that combine Lightroom presets and custom profiles made from davinci resolve color tools (which are way more in depth) and converted from luts to get some great results. It'd be nice to get some outside testing from folks. Here's a few samples (first image is raw)             The beauty of this system is that newer versions of Lightroom give you a slider for the amount of both the profile and the preset, so you can precisely dial in the amount each apply to the photo and get really granular with the effects. If anyone would like to try them I can upload the files somewhere. Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Jun 28, 2023 |

I accidentally hit the texture slider in lightroom, the first the three grouped that contains texture at least, and did not hate the results when I bought it down 20 points and then grew to love it as a sort of pro mist filter faker

Backgrounds are always the most challenging part... to find something which looks nice. Otherwise you could just use a studio or something. Red plants look always nice! Our camera club had a summer picnic.. and naturally cameras were involved. Quite a lot of people came, I counted 15 total!    (someone took this with my camera  ) Then there's this, I guess group portraits also count?

These are quite basic again. "let's just wing this out see what we get". Gotta finally try to figure out some ideas and poses beforehand for the next time. Pre-thought out color combination and a few poses to try to imitate perhaps...

echinopsis posted:is there any other way ? lol Well, like this video had a chair!! And green background... shaded spot.. https://youtu.be/ucBbEIdsvOo And here they clearly thought about color combinations first - clothing, location, how they work together..  https://youtu.be/KjQ-2XUIl54 Those would not be too much effort. At least think about a color combo next. And uhh collect some "go-to" poses you can check and on the field and try to direct the model with help of an existing pose  Because I don't know anything.
