    MANNY LIBRODO WORKSHOP 1

    Standard Workflow

    Important:
    *Work in layers
    1) Layers allow you to make mistakes, and still be able to fix them.
    2) Layers also allow you to blend elements in the picture,
    work separately on the subject and background,
    and makes the subject pop out of the background.

    A. Quick Work on Colours:


    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.

    Duplicate Layers
    Auto Levels
    Merge the two layers sometimes/ adjust the opacity accordingly
    If colours are not lively/warm enough, use curves

    B. Retouch the Eyes: my purpose is to get more details in the eyes


    1. Duplicate layer
    2. Using Lasso tool, choose the irises of the eyes
    Make sure to feather the lasso tool : 20-40 px
    3. Go to Image Adjustments
    a. Shadow/Highlight
    -Amount: around 70
    -Midtone contrast: around 50
    4. Layer/Layer Mask/Reveal All
    a. Using brush, clean up the edges
    b. If you think you overdid the details in the eyes,
    Adjust the opacity of the top layer
    5. Flatten layers

    C. Making the Subject Pop Out from the Background
    1. Duplicate Layer
    2. Blend Layers: Multiply (it makes the picture dark)
    -Sometimes, I choose BW (using channel) version to multiply over the
    color version; it makes the picture look grungy
    *Blue Channel: darkest (used for more impact)
    3. Add Layer Mask/Reveal All
    -Using brush tool with soft edges, brush back the main subject keeping
    the background dark. Be careful with the edges.
    4. Sometimes change the tone of the background to make the subject more
    striking
    -Image/Adjustment/Variation (pick what you like) do it in layers
    D.

    Treating Skin / Make the Picture 3 Dimensional/ Add Glow to the Skin
    1. Duplicate layer
    2. Go to Channels
    3. Click on the different channels and choose the one that you like and
    Click Select All
    -Red Channel (High Key; Good for Fashion Shoots)
    -Green Channel (mid-range)
    -Blue Channel (grungy)
    4. Edit Copy
    5. Click on RGB then Edit Paste
    6. Experiment on Blending mode
    - Screen : High Key
    - Multiply: Low Key
    - Soft Light
    7. Adjust opacity in layer (for fair skin, 39 percent usually gives a tinge of
    color) and adjust to taste
    8. Layer Mask
    Reveal All
    9. Return the parts you want to keep the way they are (adjust Opacity of
    the brush)
    10. Flatten layer

    E. Color and Contrast Enhancement (Again)
