Looking for beauty shot.

[Veasna C.]

Hi folks,

I'm actually devlopping and testing a new technic based on modeling light for skin correction and finition. It's highend technic from Photoshop retoucher and now we can use it for motion picture. No more blurred skin!!!

So, I'm looking for 5 to 10 seconds 4K footages of beauty shot to test my workflow and improve the software. You can see a sample below. Thank you!

Nice. I must say when I first looked at the thread I only saw the first shot and thought to myself, "That is why actresses are not fond of the increased resolution". Then I saw the second image and must say it does justice. Good work!

 

[Veasna C.]

Thank you! I must say It took to me a year of research at part time to find the formula! And now I'm still optimizing the script. The 28K sensors, will blow up all imperfections... But, I think in the near future, I will be the best friend for some actress! Hehehe!

 

[Brian Harbauer]

Incredible! Amazing work! Will this script be available and when?

 

[Tom Lowe]

Talk to Ketch Rossi. He's got all the babes.

BTW, this is gorgeous!!

I will offer skin retouching service after testing my workflow in couples months to finance my project. My goal It's to create a renderbox plugin for realtime 4K skin finition. Maybe live broadcast too!

Hi SKIN, you should visit the Real Names thread in the Recon section. We're all supposed to use real names here.

Anyway, what you have posted so far looks good. I'd like to see some more extreme examples. While this one is a good example, the model didn't need that much retouching. I'm curious to see how this works out with moving images too.

You may want to talk to the guys at GlamourKey.

 

[Ketch Rossi]

Thanks for the PM, your image definitely looks good, I have been doing some testing my self for frame extractions retouching, so interested in seen what you got.

Hi Jeff,

I'm sorry!!! I didn't notice that! And all other forum use nickname...

Yes, I tested on film and it's work, but I don't have the rights to publish! It's not a simple filtering action, but need masking too! The other part, it's tracking the subject and I'm still working on it! There is an other sample what the script can do on extreme situation. But, when you take out to much details, it's look too soft... Anyway, next challenge, it will be pimples... Hehehe!

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

This second example is really looking good. I can see where it will start to go noticeably soft if you start taking out more details though. Same with retouching by hand to some extent.

 

[Veasna C.]

Hi,

But you must consider, when it's moving we don't need to retouch so far. It's only a purpose to demonstrate the technic could be very precise on some layer of the skin.

Man, brings me back to my fashion photog days.
Good looking job though, I like how it doesn't make the skin look plastic. I can't stand the Maxim look.

 

[Jarred Land]

This is pretty incredible. Skin you should sent me an email to Jarred@red.com so we can talk.

 

[Ketch Rossi]

Yeah Visna, please do send Jarred a mail, and start chatting, possibly we could get this as part of RR X and or EC X !!

ciao

Hi all,

Thank you for your recommendations and interrests. I will be out for this weekend and hope to bring something next week. Thank for Jesse Rosten, he provides to me a short footage to test my workflow and I hope he will agree to publish the result on Reduser .

Sure Jarred, I will contact your very soon... See ya all!

 

[Casey Green]

REDCINE-X plug-in anyone???

 

[Veasna C.]

Hi all,

Well! Hope you are still interresting about my project. So we are, I made test and got a very good result.

The link provide 3 files into a one ZIP file (500MB). It's the original one and other with color tracking and other with tracking mask.

The easy way it's use colormasking for selective area to correct, but it's not precise as manual tracking mask. Tracking mask was very painfull to do, but I have a lot of control. By the way It's quite the same result like highend retouch on photoshop and still more faster than retouch by hand one image at time.

The videos are from Jesse Rosten and it's for personnal viewing only! Thank for his help! Looking forward for your feedbacks.

Cheers!

Just loved it !!

Well I'm sold. Just saw the download and it is very impressive. This will be a boon to the fashion industry. I can see it for the corporate side of things as well, helping the egos of some of the types we tend to shoot. Jarred, this would be a wonderful addition.
