Re: is this lighting or retouching?
It's a bit of both, you can only go so far with retouching and only so far with lighting... You need to have a good combination of both to have a good result. Looks to me like they are playing off the lighting set up...most likely Gels were used and then everything was brought up and out more in photoshop.. -

Either gels or tungsten lighting with a daylight balanced camera, along with a saturation boost in Photoshop.Comment

Re: is this lighting or retouching?
Assuming one wanted to do this in PS it's not at all hard. All the usual suspects: Curves, Levels, Sel Color, Color Balance, Channel Mix, etc can all do it. Just add a ton of yellow and a pinch of red.Comment

Mostly lighting..multiple gelled lights. Not much photoshopping as far as the colours are concernedComment

Re: is this lighting or retouching?
If you clearly examine the image, you will find out the answer yourself. Its quite easy to analyze because of the fact that the original image has some dark spots as well. In other words the lady has marks on her cheeks. Anyone having a little bit information about Photoshop should know that lightning although adds the same effect as represented but it cannot remove those marks. Therefore in my personal opinion, its retouching. Lightning in lay man's approach "Brightens" the image but cannot remove marks. Retouching it is

"pp crud". HA! I could not have said it better myself. Just because it's the "in-thing" (thanks instagram), does not mean it "should" be done.Comment

I've always been curious: if you know you're going to post-process a lot (ie: closer to Hill or Leibowitz than your routine zit-zap) does it factor in to your lighting choices?
Obviously consistency would be important for composite work, but in a broader sense, does Photoshop knowledge...04-26-2015, 01:42 PM -

Ideas how this image was created:
Was it photoshop/post or lighting with gels?
Some look like post (to me), but others look like gels.

=D not sure if this is the correct place to post this but i couldn't find a "lighting" section. So anyway, i was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me what they think the lighting system/position was in the attached image. I think it really nice with the highlights on her arm and such.....08-15-2007, 02:09 AM

I've started this photo three times and junked it three times because I can't get the lighting (to my eye) right. All the studio portraits were done by this same photographer and he (I'm assuming it's a he, this is 1918) is very fond of side lighting. I end up with a very harsh light to shadow thing....07-27-2007, 01:19 PM
