 vintage look :-) | chiaraluna
(2560) [2005-06-13 01:01:30] [3] | ciao Pierpaolo :-)
i hope you don't mind me trying a workshop with your lovely photo.. i really like it and just wante to see how it would look with an extra vintage make-over ^_^
here's what i did:
* applied a bronzish-gold colour overlay layer, set the layer blending mode to colour burn and dcreased it's opacity to create a rich sepia tone
* added grain with the add noise filter in photoshop
* adjusted levels to intensify a little
* cloned out the lettering on the bike to give the illusion of an older style bicycle
* and finally reframed
really hope you like it ^_^
saluti,
Ayda |

 b&w and a different composition | chiaraluna
(2560) [2005-06-10 21:27:29] [4] | hi Rafael :-)
like i say.. really beautiful shot.. here i've just given it a slightly different look to express how a shot like this makes me feel and makes me dream...
* converted to grayscale
* slightly adjusted highlights & shadows in levels
* cloned out remaining background
* cropped image shorter & increased the width of the canvas size to create a new horizontal format composition
* used flood fill to fill in extra canvas space
* made a new layer and used flood fill again to even out the black background
* and finally framed with a simple black border
i really hope you'll like it :-)
best wishes,
Ayda |

 a little colour & intensity.. | chiaraluna
(2560) [2005-06-06 15:24:57] | | just used selective desaturation keeping my hair red by masking it using the magic wand to select, then used a gentle lighting effect and a filter called 'bad dream' to create the high key and the intensity of the look.. |

 Self-Portrait (17) patteephoto

 a bit of drama :-) | chiaraluna
(2560) [2005-05-16 00:27:06] [11] [+] | i think this is a really nice portrait and you look great here, just perhaps needs 'bringing out of it's shell' a bit in my opinion :-)
so here's what i did:
* ran the photo through NeatImage (free download at neatimage.com) to reduce the noise and graininess
* in photoshop i used the clone tool to clone out the earring which i thought a little distracting as well as a few other specs and such that most photos have
* then i added extra illumination to your face with a diffuse glow filter at the following settings (graininess 0, glow amount 5, clear amount 20)
* adjusted the levels a bit to strengthen shadow and highlight contrast
* used unsharp mark to sharpen the image and then increased contrast +5
* saved the photo at maximum quality in photoshop to up the resolution a bit
* then added a simple frame using frame master (free download at download.com) to show you off!
like i say, i think this is a splendid, sexy portrait and i hope i've managed to add a little drama and intensity to increase the mood and impact.. really hope you like it! :-)
