Tahir's Skin

Well Tahir

I am glad that you have admitted that it is supposed to look plastic like. You have succeeded remarkably well. Whether you used a seperate piece of software as Shelby has suggested is your secret, although it is definetly achievable as you have said without cloning etc. in Photoshop. Scriptable even.
As many of you have seen from previous posts I do everything pixel by pixel. But I don't eliminate the need for cloning or healing.

Back to Pure's original frustration, you need to take the time that is needed to get the job done right. On my fashion and Beauty retouching I typically take at least 3 hours for skin work. My site www.christarantino.com is still in the works but should be up next week with some great examples of before and after.

Deadlines do need to be met. Understood. But you need to let the client, whether a photographer or a studio, know what a realistic time is truly going to be for the quality they are expecting. I have found that if you stick to that deadline and deliver the results then you have found a returning client.

Regards and good luck!

Chris

Re: Professional Ret. Techniques in commercials

It is not actually what high end clients would want anyways. I did get PM regarding this software but i really dont think anything can over take Photoshop. Perhaps for the low end stuff it would be ok. It is something they have developed in Asia.

Re: Professional Ret. Techniques in commercials

I don't get it. Why are you guys keeping it a secret. Why come here then? I thought we are here to share and learn.

Pathetic

Re: Professional Ret. Techniques in commercials

It wasn't me who said about the software. I'm new here and read the posts and know that this looks like CPAC software. Its created in Thailand I believe. I do everything through photoshop. If you google it, I'm sure it will come up. Its fairly popular in Asia as photo studios in shopping malls need a quick but decent one button skin fix.

Re: Professional Ret. Techniques in commercials

It is 3 steps program (not 10): select-generate, light opacity & dark opacity.
In between could be done some brushing, stamping & some more I didn't try yet.
Not much fun.
