Re: Polaroid (?) Look
Every image is different, and if someone is commissioned to match a specific look, they may put a lot of work into achieving that. It may involve looking at a significant amount of reference material.
Regarding VSCO, if you're talking about VSCO film, it's a reasonable way of starting. I would see Tulack's post here. It's good. Histogram matching isn't as stable of a method as he suggests at times, but it's a reasonable starting point. Several of the methods mentioned in this (research paper on color transfer) refer to some type of histogram matching. If you just look at the photos, it will give you some idea of the problems.
Overall I just see another question of how to match images. You generally need some level of sensibility for the work to get anywhere, because they're all different. I've tried to get people started, but it hasn't worked in most cases. -
Re: Polaroid (?) Look
Either put in an effort into learning about this craft, or pay someone else to do it for you. It might be VISCO, if it so happens that the image is similar form the start. But it's not the tools, but rather the knowledge that'll define if you can do something or not. Retouching is not "let's click this and see how it turns out".Originally posted by klev View Post
Study proportion, painting, art history, color theory. In the meantime, just hire someone.Comment

Re: Polaroid (?) Look
Aside from local and global color treatment, they are all the same, they share the same "look & feel", same treatment and same style. And yes! they match each other perfectly, they are part of an overall theme, an Ad campaign. Hence, they must match.
Don't let overall color and contrast deceive your eyes.
Hard work and deep understanding of Photoshop will get you there.Comment

Having recently failed at learning to play the guitar, I'm familiar with the concept of trying to play someone else's song as a learning tool. It provides a goal and a measurement of progress.
But once you're out in the professional (ie: for pay) retouching arena, how valuable is having...04-14-2015, 12:34 PM -
