God, I wish I knew how you get these skin tones, Antonio
Alex, my Nephew.
Good Alis.
But you can do better than this.
Look at that door in the back ...
Hello jacsul
(Jack from the south ?)
Try again my friend. Don't use that flash so harsh. Try to bounce it some where.in a white surface, even a simple A4 is good enough.
The young fellow looks very cheerful.
I am sure he will be very happy if you use him again as model...
We all are waiting to see the new improved photos.

Why this picture is not so good as I expected ?
I have a droplet to make the canvas and all that stuff like the name and so.
I have cropped the picture very much and it came out with a huge name and a too large canvas.
I don't feel - at least now - to do it again because of this problem.
Any tips to modify that Action / Droplet thing ?
Sorry.
Just up-sample the cropped image to your usual pixel dimensions before running the actionOriginally Posted by Antonio Correia
Than you Colin.Just up-sample the cropped image to your usual pixel dimensions before running the action
Can you please be a little more specific ?
Do I go to Image / Image Size and resize the image ?
I guess it is not what you mean...
Anyway I could get that command integrated in the Action. Am I right ?
Thank you.

Thank you.
IMAGE -> IMAGE SIZE - make sure "Resample Image" is ticked, and then just plug in the pixel dimensions that the image needs to be upsampled to (ie the kinds of pixel dimensions that you normally use before using your processing action) - then Photoshop will add the pixels as required and you'll have a bigger image to work with.
If you get lost, just let me know, and I'll do it for you (only a 10 sec job, if that).
Yes Alis I like your photo.
There is much light in it and the person pops out of the frame.
Good.
Thank you Colin
Yes it does work. Thank very much for such a simple tip.
The tip is simple but we have to know itand I didn't
Nice week end !
One from today, Sunday.

By the window. Although I think the white is somewhat blown out.
Again the skin tone is so real and nice, Antonio.
I feel the mouth area is somewhat blurred, probably can be fixed in PS?
Thank you Alis.
You are right and I am going to try to fix it.
May be the reason is that I was using the 70-200 at 200 with f/3.5 and the DOF was really very shallow.
I would have to go and have a look at the table...
But this image is nice, also because the young man is handsome and young.
It's curious how this photo came out so well. Just look at the original.
The light was harsh and I asked the young man to face the shadow, I mean turn the back to the Sun.
I have chosen carefully the background moving the guy until I got the place and then bang, here I go.
I post also a group photo for you to see the kind of light I was dealing with. The young man has been shot at the end of the street near one of those blue doors on left side adn we were in the middle of the street.

Alis. I am not going to do what you suggested because the emphasis is on the eyes and not on the whole face.
And because the DOF is so shallow that his other eye is almost out of photos, as his face edge (the one which is further away).
Thank you for the suggestion.
I looked at the picture cerefuly and the focus is very precise on the eyes is enough I think.
You did very well suggesting that. I thank you for doing so.
Meanwhile... here is another with shallow DOF shot under very different circumstances... inside with one flash and very little light from a door 5m away
No, I don't like the shadows on the walls...

Maya at her cousin's birthday party.
Peter I think you image is very very nice.
You used light from bellow which gave the face a very good emphasis filling in the shadows.
I do like it.
If I may suggest, you could apply a little vignetting. Small, just a tad.
Oh and brighten also a tad her eyes. Just a bit nothing strong and/or artificial...
EXIF ?
Hi,
I agree Peter's image is very nice but I think it is slightly spoiled by the too shallow depth of field as only one eye is in focus - her right eye is significantly out of focus... I guess it won't make any difference if printed small size but a blow up would really show the softness up I think.
Best regards,
Anton
