Thanks. byRo 11-30-2006, 04:38 AM Without going into too many details.... 1) Make a good greyscale image - combine the channels in the channel mixer; 2) Using curves, do an S-shape, lifting the lighter parts of the skin and lowering the darker parts; 3) Apply duo-tone colouring to taste. A fun thing to do in these cases is to "de-construct" the image (I just did the colours very quickly). As you can see, by un-doing the above steps you arrive back at a "normal" image. Rô |
