Sixties Fashion | Post-Production
Follow Karl through each step of his Photoshop workflow.
If you’ve watched Sixties Fashion Shoot, it’s time to dig in to Karl’s post-production follow-up. As he converts the raw files he captured in the shoot into the polished final image, you’ll see him demonstrate a range of useful tools and techniques.
Karl begins by explaining highlight recovery and why it does not work adequately across all elements of the shot. As he removes lighting gear, smooths out the background, and enhances different aspects of the image, you’ll see him demonstrate the Clone Stamp tool, the Healing Brush, hue saturation adjustment layers, the Magic Wand, the Liquify filter, Gaussian blur, and more.
As the session continues, Karl uses the Distort tool and does extensive burning and dodging on the model’s outfit, handbag, shoes and so on.
His primary challenge turns out to be achieving smoothness of texture and tone on the model’s skin, which he does using a variety of techniques in combination.
The result is a striking and vivid retro image, well worth the careful post-production work.
