ray . Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 <i>Rene's in Maine. It's winter. People have rosy cheeks when they've been out in the cold.</i><p>Maybe she wore that coat to stay warm in the dairy section. I live in California and if I go into my local Ralph's supermarket I freeze my ass off. In fact they keep it so cold in that store I never feel like staying more than 10 minutes. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 "Use the middle eye dropper on the "Curves" control panel. Find something grey to click it on." use all three eye droppers, in this order, the right gets clicked on your highest highlight, then the left gets clicked on your darkest dark, then the middle last gets sampled around where you fancy the results. But, values have to be added into curves preset first in order for best results. If anyone wants them, i'll go dig them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_ Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 What Jamie said... Except I use the middle eyedropper in levels. The gray I sampled was in the jacket's zipper pull.<BR><P> <center> <img src= "http://www.citysnaps.net/beruska=edit.jpg"> </center> www.citysnaps.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_ Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Of course in the end, only Rene will know for sure. Look at the all the different jacket colors in each of the edits. Which one is closest? www.citysnaps.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricM Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I, Brad and Jamie all uploaded the same file with the same border, intresting to look at the borders against the web page white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray . Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Check the highlights on her cheeks where there's no ruddiness. Maybe that's a good place to judge if the skin color feels right or if it's tinted too far one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaviosganzerla Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 My try: - White point on the "white border". - Color balance - midtones: -30 +10 +45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael s. Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Quick question: Is your wife aware, Rene, of how you and your photo-buddies are spending this evening ? :) I guess on balance it's a comparatively innocuous thing. As one of my teachers used to say: "Don't drink; don't smoke; don't chew ... or go with girls who do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray . Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Uh, your teacher didn't say anything about going with girls who <i>shop</i>? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane hartse Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Rene, this is tangential to your question, but do you feel funny or get funny looks snapping a picture of your wife at the grocery store? The reason I ask is that I sometimes snap a picture or two of my young daughter at the store, but I always feel a little self-conscious about it.

brambor Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Sorry. I was summoned to bed and had to turn off the pc. Stop. From this phone I can't judge your samples. Stop. Will reconvene tomorrow. Stop. Shooting in supermarket is fine. Stop. Will talk tomorrow. Stop. Back to bed. Stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricM Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I wonder if his phone beeps every time he gets an updated notification from this thread? Beep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliot_rosen1 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 It's hard to know what the correct color balance should be without actually seeing the person. Skin coloration is so variable that you would have to be able to match the image to what you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awahlster Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Sorry Rene but do you have a different photo of your lovely wife I'm getting a little bored of seeing this one LOL Just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_kastner Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Rene, your wife is beautiful, <i>and</i> extremely patient... letting so many people take a picture of her. <i>My</i> wife often won't let me even take <i>one</i> picture of her (my wife).

paulmoore Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 rene, bob's and eric's were close on my screen - here is my version.. used hue/sat and color balance mostly to get the yellow cast out.. then went to curves to fix contrast.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambor Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 sorry I had to bail out last night. How about this version? <p> <img src="http://www.widereach.net/temp/berus01092006.1.jpg"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brambor Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 I think it can probably benefit from a little more sharpening and it is somewhat darker in color but on the subsequent modifications from you guys the skin got a lot coarser.
