  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Looking for beauty shot.

Fantastic job, very nicely done, truly remarkable achievement, as I learn more and more Photoshop, I know what goes in to professionally do masking, and this results are beautifully executed, not over done as to reduce the skin to a plastic feel of a manikin.

I also like to go over the board with retouching, but only some times, as well as doing digital oil painting, but this kind of look is what I'm going after and studying and practicing to achieve, so it will be wonderful to be able to have it for our Motion work as well.

ciao
 
hey t'as change d'avis ? non plus a la francophonie ...
 
Any chance of getting a video sample with your skin smoother in action? Otherwise I may as well just be looking at a photoshopped image..

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!

there u go
 
I'm curious. I'd inspected images very close. It's very nice result, but what am I missing here? Isn't this just a case of a simple key (could be luminance with saturation) with tracked garbage masks just for problem areas and grading applied inside with very little defocus as well? Am I wrong?

I dunno. I think this might be better on women. On this guy it looks like a lot of makeup to me. It's a lot more feminized look. The creases in the cheeks coming off the nose towards the mouth really stood out to me on the finished shot as wrong somehow.

If you took this effect and reduced it by 50% you might have something better for a man.
 
Hi Jake,

Keying it's not very usefull for small and precise area on compressed format like I'm work on. My technic and script don't need much of tunning, but alot of rendering time on my MBP. At the end It's not cost effective for every project untill my software will run on some GPU render cards. Thank for your interrest.
 
Hi Joel,

Of course I made some version with less makeup effect, but I pust far as I can to clean up the skin, take out unlike cast shadow, exhausted eyes, etc. It put a little bit makeover for the demonstration, but at the end, my main goal it's to proove we can make something natural and not need to blur texture on the skin. Thank for you comments!
 
Hi Micheal,

Soon, I will end up with something like a magic potion easy to use. I hope to achieve with highend result like Photoshop's guru does, but for motion picture. But, for now I'm only offer service for skin finishing for commercial project to improve my workflow and get feedback from the market. Be patient. Thank you!

Hi Skin. I'm not sure I understand. What I'm describing here is just a garden variety keying with the tracked garbage mask. Obviously, keying on highly compressed image is more dodgy, that on uncompressed image, but it still can be done. Would you like to send me the material, so I can try to do it? Or is the image, that I had already downloaded was actually used? BTW, in doing it my way, there practically no render penalty at all:-) Granted, I had never tried to do it this fine skin clean up in grading, as this kind of work much more suited for something with better tracking and roto capabilities, but what the heck...
 
Did just look like he had lots more makeup on. Interesting with some tweaking perhaps, but somehow made his pores look really noticeable and weird. Work in progress, but fantastic to pull off.
 
Hi Joel,

Here we are! Of course it's good challenge to get something look like unprocessed. But, I need more powerfull computer for realtime playback and a good monitor to judge my work and fine tune the result for this particular bad shot. But it's not a big deal... I just need time...

Hi Jake,

You are welcome to use the first 10 seconds of this footage to make your own test and show up your talent. I'm glad to see your result and hope you will share with us.

Hi Stephan,

You bring good point and I made some quick ajustments. I reduce pores and bring back some shadow. I'm only creating a tool to assist our vision and the rest depend of thes taste of each other.

There is the an other version.
