Hi guys

just curious as to how much PP is done on this image, and what techniques are used:

1 part is the swirls, which i assume are added in after, and the other part is the adjustment of the skin? seems to be clarity perhaps?

Thanks

It looks awful, but yeah light trails look like they've been added in Photoshop and they've just desaturated the image and bumped up the clarity to 11*

*Not actually 11

Hi guys

just curious as to how much PP is done on this image,

sh1t loads.

and what techniques are used:

I suppose step one would be to ingest a fair amount of LSD, then have all taste and decorum removed by a good few years of daytime television, tabloid newspapers or anything else that desensitises you to bad taste.


If you're serious, then I suggest that it uses a great deal of clarity, and also a great deal of dodging and burning on a soft light blended 50% grey layer. The lines are just added in photoshop... badly.. probably using some obscene plug-in.

The lens flare top right is a canned effect from Photoshop's Filter menu, and should be a flogging offence.

it's horrendous, then again, i've seen worse.

ah ok thanks for your replies guys. i was just curious about the lines as i wasnt sure if it was light trails using a slow shutter, or PP. was thinking it would be kinda hard to get crazy trails like that with a slow shutter lol

Looks like maybe a bit of carefully edited genuine fractals to me too, but might be wrong.

It looks like boxers been cut from another shot and superimposed on to the back ground. The special effects are added in.
