Photo Retouching - - How to get the Jill Greenberg effect

askreage · #1 01-19-2008, 10:15 PM

Are there any tutorials tips advise on how to get that look that Jill Greenberg is so famous for? It is like a combo smooth wet metal glowing look. I am not even sure how to describe it, but I like it.

Funny you mention her...I have an image on my MM profile that was asked to sort of mimick Jill's style..I think it came out pretty well!

Or have you posted it already?

It's an image of pets....you can see the detail & sharpness more in the high res of course but there is a web size shown in that profile! Of course the pets shown in mind dont have funny expressions like hers..lol

:P

bianca, it would be helpful if you just posted the pic in question...

Bianca Carosio · #8 01-22-2008, 07:23 AM

OH..let me try that..lol

I can't post the actual image on here..only link. I started previewing it when I'd post the direct link but the image shows very small.

bianca, look at danny's post above, there is a link on how to post images...it's really quite simple

Bianca Carosio · #10 01-22-2008, 02:18 PM

only members can see the full size images, any chance you can post it to flickr?

Bianca Carosio · #12 01-22-2008, 07:25 PM

I dont have FLICKR...

lol ..but you know what if you can see the image on the profile...that's pretty much the same size that shows in the view more pics part...MM sort of re-sizes them to a limited size they decide...I dont know...sorry... lol

pixeltek · #13 01-22-2008, 10:24 PM

just curious again, bianca, but if they're your pics, presumably they're on your computer somewhere lol...you don't need flickr...why can't you just upload a pic here? i don't get why you can't just do that...lol

Bianca Carosio · #14 01-23-2008, 07:36 AM

I would..I just don't know how to post it on these type of forums. I post images on the MM forums and I tried that same way here but it didn't work...so if someone can send me a sample code then I can try maybe..

Sorry for the hassle.. :P

Take the picture you want to upload, open it up in Photoshop, then resize it to a smaller version! then export to web, make the size and quality to match 100kb or less. to upload it here, just push "post reply" button over the thread, then go down to where it says "manage attachments" that's where you upload the picture you have resized....
