Re: Tinkering With Colour
Funny how some photo's lend themselves well to colour, others, like this one are are a bloody nightmare.

Re: Tinkering With Colour
I had a go at this a while ago. It's easily one of my favorite shots of Elvis.

Re: Tinkering With Colour
Two versions of this one, I've lowered the saturation on the extra one. I like both but i knew one was a little too saturated

Re: Tinkering With Colour
Your work is absolutely amazing! I can't even imagine the time it takes to match colors and try to make them look like they are in real. I know you asked if anyone wanted any color photos. I used to have a way to show pictures on here through photobucket but it doesn't work as well for me. I apologize I just sent them by links on ebay with the highest quality shot I could find. Perhaps you may have them. The one is the menu from the Summer 1970

Re: Tinkering With Colour
A nice job Matt! I especially like the first picture. The blue is really bright and the skin tones look more natural. Great job as always!Matt Ashton wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2020 1:46 pmTwo versions of this one, I've lowered the saturation on the extra one. I like both but i knew one was a little too saturated

Re: Tinkering With Colour
Stunning!!
The MSQ photo is a tad too dark in the red of the cape to my taste, but this one is SPOT ON!!
well done.

Re: Tinkering With Colour
Mat given we know the cape color what made you choose scarlet vs red? Curious about your design choice.

Re: Tinkering With Colour
In shots where the background is lit up I would normally go with a red, when the backround is darker I tend to go a deeper colour, if that makes sense.

What are the colors for this particular suit?
If there's a choice, stereo over mono every time.

Re: Tinkering With Colour
James' guitar is a pale pink, not purple. Otherwise it is very well done, thank you for your work Matt.
