Re: How to: "Christian Schmidt" Look

Very nice pictures....i would probably have to guess that its some major lighting trick....i wish i could develop some radiant pictures....but i have nothing but a digital camera lol...no lights or anything

i would like to know how those are done...if not by lighting techniques

Saby really like your result and this sort of style, but I don't understand your workflow ( sounds very technical) could you explain it a bit more, like is it done in Photoshop ? or is it some other software

Re: How to: "Christian Schmidt" Look

Great result, but i don't get it.
Multiply darkens my image, and the "blend if gray" produces very little change.

did U lighten the image before OR after that convert (not assign) it back to normal (adobe) rgb space?
