    Content is so straight to the point without fluff. You literally deserve 10 fold the following of what you currently have and I think if you keep rocking this content its inevitable. Thanks for your hard work.

    Awesome content. Thank you so much for the D&B action. Retouching is one of my weaknesses. Probably gotten away with it by good lighting and few slides in Luminar. Lol but this will definitely change my retouching. Just have to practice more and more. Blessings!

      Thanks James! Retouching is one of those ever evolving things. My workflow has changed dramatically over the last couple of years.

    Loved the video as usual,..... but.... for those of us who don't have your presets, I would like to have seen how you achieved the 'preset' look from scratch. Keep up the good work.

    • @Johannes

      It would be interesting to hear your reasoning when you select how to balance the colour mix in the bw conversion, highlights/shadows etc. As always, my favourite bit is when you talk about how you setup and use the lighting. :)

    Nice tutorial, thanks! I’m surprised you do your retouching on the background layer though, without even making a duplicate of the original.. I tend to duplicate it for a backup, put it on the top, and hide it (just in case ). Then I do my retouching on a blank layer on top of the background layer.

  • @petergunndetective

    Great image and episode. Just wondering, what was your white balance and tint setting in capture one for the SOOC image?

    Hi Nathan, I hate retouching.. just don't enjoy it, but must admit the dodge and burn results look good. May I ask how long it normally takes you per image?

    • @NathanElson
      @NathanElson  3 роки тому +1

      Hey Richard! I'm not a huge fan of retouching either, but I've gotten it down to around 10min per image which isn't too time consuming.

    Good stuff, Nate! That content aware fill is a Godsend.
    Do you know if using the 50% grey D&B option, if that can change the color like the curve D&B can sometimes?

      I've never actually tried it, but I likely will sometime today ;)

    Hi. Thanks for these. Do you sharpen the eyes at all or leave as is when delivering your pictures? Or is it a as needed thing? Thanks.

      Hey! I don't even sharpen the eyes in post.

    where you diminue the pourcentage of the preset in capture one ?

    The para, is that octa or a hexa one , I feel like it is more than 8 sides ..

    I know nothing about studio lighting etc, but how are those back brollies 1 stop brighter? The front brollie is f11 and the back brollies are f16, shouldn't that be 1 stop darker? I guess there's a relationship between brollie and subject difference etc but I'm still confused at how the front brollie is 1 stop brighter. Anyone care to explain?
