Free Raws for practice

[Julesj]

Here are a couple of images I shot a while back that I thought could be used to practice on. I'm interested in different peoples styles etc so feel free to experiment.

Please do not pass off as your own!!

Here's what they look like....

[mayday]

Just some quick toning

[mayday]

More quick toning maybe a little more of a cross processed look

[Rohape]

Wow, thanks! I've never had the chance to work with RAW. That was fun.
Here's my take.
If anyone has opinions on this I would appreciate it too.
Something just looks a little...off. Not the focus, I can't put my finger on it.

[Rohape]

Here's the other one.
Nice pictures. Thank you again for the photos to play with.
I'm curious about RAW. Now is it that RAW is just easier to recover bad shots (i.e. too dark, bad color)?

I figured out what it was on the last picture. Her lipstick seems smudged on the edge of the upper lip.
Amazing the details you see after you've been up close and personal with a photo.

Ps. anyone can give me a hint what to do with the hair? How to retouch them tomake them more shiny etc?

Here is my Just a little bit correction of colours and shadows!

[lehmannudo]

Hello,
here ist my try. I love a grafic porcelain look so I change the background and create a bright grafik look of this lady.

[sabine_monica]

Thanks for the image Julesj.

Here is my retouche

[LosFakos]

my practice
thanks for image...

[ruud92]

i gave it a try, i really liked the pic, even it wasn't that good quality (talking about the pixels, not the lightning)

here a link for a 60% close up of the face to see the quality of the retouching.
LINK

hope you like!

(the colour looks a bit paler on the site, on photoshop it doesn't)

EDIT> i posted a more touched one! hope you like. yes i did make her jacket more soft pink on purpose (the 'stripes' on the background are not present in ps, and this time the overal image looks a bit more saturated than it does in ps )

[selmakoparan]

[skilove73]

a contrast try

[suzzie12]

I was playing with the face part.

Using curves color matching to match up the colors in the face and get rid of the purple cast and open up the shadows on the left side.

[djslyda]

[ruud92]

[michicaust]

Heeeere's mine (tadaaa!) - fixed the face, colors, sharpness (depth) and, most important, the eyes somewhat:

i love what you've done with the nose, how long does something like that take you, i have tried to replicate what you have done and find it near enough impossible to get it looking real, which you have?
