Before/After

Hello dear readers,
as i notice, it seems to be more and more "In" to present its before and after pictures. I never thought i would do this as well, because i am very skeptical with myself. But hey, does it hurt me ? nope ;-) 

I play and live in Firestorm (=FS), but i take my pictures in Black Dragon (=BD). The quality there is just outstanding or i have forgotten to deal with it as the settings in FS are, after an update and the innovations there, i had no desire to deal with it, i am a lazy habitual and look for the easiest way.

For blogger images, i've learned as little editing as possible to keep the item as neutral/normal as possible so the customer who may see it and want it doesn't experience disappointment because they've been lured in by an over-edited image. But that also depends on the store, what kind of image style they themselves value and how they want to present the items to their stores.

I work with normal small adjustments, i correct exposure, contrast, highlights, depths, white balance, dynamic range and saturation, sharpening, brightness/contrast and occasionally selective color correction, Less often I use the gradation curve ;-).

For normal images, live it up in Photoshop (=PS) as much as you like. Lose yourself in it, waste hours and in the end be happy with your result. Many work without a background, add it via PS, others like to draw hair, still others make the shadows and highlight themselves instead of using a Windlight (WL), there are umpteen different ways to make a picture wonderful.

In principle, i'm lazy, i'm always lazy and chill ;-) because i just lack the time and patience for many things.

Lovely greetings Dee ♥
