| | | Re: How to: "Christian Schmidt" Look Yeah I downloaded it. Its just the AIM profile. Here again, I think perhaps thats how he getting his bleached out whites, but I am talking about the bigger picture.
How is his shoot setup? Does he do compositing? How is it all constructed? This may be a question that cannot be answered... (see the Dave Hill thread) but I didn't know if anyone had any insight. |

| | | Re: How to: "Christian Schmidt" Look I've been following this thread close to since it started. I've had that AIM profile and the action for quite awhile. I used it too. It just bleaches the white.
Like I said, I'm looking for his overall approach.

| | | Re: How to: "Christian Schmidt" Look I might be wrong but it very much looks to me like it's made with a raytracer. |

| | | Re: How to: "Christian Schmidt" Look yeah...Of course you need a proper lighting when you take the shot, but I didn't really understand if the method with the profiles is the right way...

| | | Re: How to: "Christian Schmidt" Look hope this question it makes sense...
is it possible to achieve this effect but in B&W images? You know strong shadow areas, even and pale skins, strong contours in eyes, a general high contrast.
method for B&W? |

My question to the experts: after converting & assigning the color space, how do you retain/bring back the natural colors to areas you don't want to whiten? Curves helped a bit but not to the extent you see in Christian Schmidt's images.
Any inputs?
