Lamborghini LP670-4 SV Photo Post Processing in Photoshop CS4 **High Key**

I am self taught in photoshop, so this is by no means perfect, and it was rushed, but hopefully it gives people a good idea of how create a high key look and give you an idea of the workflow used. Please feel free to ask any questions..

It's all good. You'll learn more from just screwing around like this than from any tutorial. As you get better, you'll also learn that less photoshop is usually better as far as touchups go. Keep at it.

haha cheers mate!

Normally I don't spend long at all as I have tight deadlines for clients

The original photo looks better in pretty much every way, in my opinion.

[GFWilliamsnet]

I agree - I was just experimenting.

Also, where is this posted - I've suddenly had a lot of interest in the video and would be interested to read what you guys have been discussing about it!

[ChucklesKnuckles]

But the big spike in interest probably came as a result of a story on AOL, which contained the link to the first URL. The AOL URL is very long, and I can't seem to change enough of it to make it work in the YouTube comment field.

Could you please just pm it to me.

Thanks!

Although it turned out fine, the final outcome is irrelevant to me. The way you're using layers and masks is incorrect, and in some cases rendered pointless. I know you're self taught, so I might suggest brushing up on adjustment layers and channels. In general this file should have many more layers, and you should never have to flatten the file. Think of it like this... you want to be able to adjust the intensity of any edit you've done. You want the edits to be non-destructive to the original.

This helps one to appreciate how much work actually goes into a professional car photo.

Any chance you'll be adding a video walk-through on your process? Maybe one for working with natural lighting, and one for working with strobes?

Thanks for these!

haha at 1:29 i got photoshop CS5 and instead of using the clone tool all you do it bush over it with this new tool and it does it perfectly and automatically for you

[douwebaekelandt]

Sorry mate, but I like the original better..

[SpotterGijs]

Wow, great work at this photo! Many things I recognize (because I do it myself too), but still you're a master at photoshop!

[D0D0BiirD]

Maybe it is me...I would loved to have sound.

At the very end had he wanted to adjust the intensity of that background fade, but maintained the cloning, he would have once again had to retrace the car. The amount of layers is not important, but the fact that there are only 2 at the very end is not a good sign. Just think of every photoshop file as one you might have to pass along to another designer to edit, and you'll become great at it.
