anybody got any idea how the images are produced on www.sksantos.com to produce the airbrushed, film like photos. They look almost like paintings cos of the smooth skin, high contrast etc.
any ideas?
iLikePie:
nah, not vectors (well at least the ones i looked at).
the different photos do have varying effects and the photo you choose to use makes a big difference. The first thing is that this guy knows how to take a good shot - angle, lighting, etc.
you can play around with this KIND of effect like this:
from there, you’ll need to play with using more layers, and also stuff like isolating (through masking) sections you want to further manipulate, and other filters can work well, but generally the ones that look really obvious aren’t that good, things like contrast can be ok (but NO glowing edges or anything like that :P).
Keep duping the photo, blur it, blend it, and make it mostly transparent…repeat.
Why didn’t I think of this?!!?!?!!?!?!
Now i have to kick myself. This is the exact opposite of the method I use to make photos look “old”.
Wow, that is pretty cool. I will give it a try and see if I can do it too!
