took Q out today - cold, but sunny and not raining day... and playing with a trial version of Adobe Lightroom 3.

I always love Quincy pictures <3!

 

[dobegal]

What ever you are using the picture is amazing

 

[Alisha Kirby]

Omg....Quincy is such a handsome boy!

 

[dax0402]

Great head shot Quincy! Very handsome boy you are!

 

[triciakoontz]

LOVE that Quincy!!! The photo effect is pretty cool too.

here's the same pic with Capture NX2 - what I currently use...

hmmm... not sure which I like better

 

[eegreen]

Beautiful pic of Quincy. I use NX2 also. Do you like Lightroom? I think I like the first one better.

 

[ZeldaRules]

I like the saturation of the background in the 2nd one better but his black is more richer in the 1st one.

I don't know yet... I've only been playing with LR today. It seems easy enough. Basically using sliders. NX2 is bit more 'clunky', but I've grown used to it. So we'll see. Thanks

Q has such intense eyes. Nice shots. I like both effects but possibly the second better. It seems more subtle.

yeah - you know - I couldn't quite put my finger on it.. but you're right. LR has the slider to make blacks blacker. I fiddled with that on the first one. I kinda like it better.

Mind sending me the original? I wouldn't mind messing around with it in LR and see what I can come up with. I can just PM it to you if you don't want me to post it here. Not that I'm a pro or anything but I like to play with LR and see what different effects I can get.

 

[Julie W]

I will be curious to hear how you like LR3. I switched to it from NX2 recently and LOVE it.

Quincy Head galore

all through LR3 playing around with sliders

I start with enabling lens profile correction on all photos, then cleaned up his face a little with the spot removal tool, used the adjustment brush on his eyes to brighten them, messed with the clarity, used a couple of user made presets for color enhancements, messed with temperature, saturation, fill light, exposure, vibrance, highlight recovery, luminance, and sharpening!

LOL in english please

 

[ZeldaRules]

LOL dr! I am self-taught by trial and error...a LOT of experimenting with the different features and read up on basic lightroom features which is how I learned about lens correction. I don't do well with a lot of reading, I'm better with hands on so I just dive right in and see what works and what doesn't. There are user made presets(do a lot of the work for you for enhancements) and I just downloaded a lot of free ones here:

Some "vintage 60's" preset:
