What's your Post Processing workflow?

[norwindetalla]

---

mga bai... every after photoshoot, am sure mo post process jud mo. either photoshop, lightroom, camera raw...etc...

if you're generous and selfless enough, then you can share your "post processing workflow" here.

you can post also the post processing technique nga inyo gisunod sa uban.

Me? am using Manny Librodo's SHARPENING Technique sa photoshop.


Before:



After:




mao ni:

Background copy
USM 18-40-0
USM 150-.3-0
Edit>Fade USM 100% in Darken Mode
USM 150-.3-0
Edit>Fade USM 50% in Lighten Mode
Flatten image

A brief explanation:

1. Open your image you need to edit.
2. Edit it as you wish. Until that part where you finally sharpen the image and you are done.
3. Flatten image. (What follows next is the 'sharpen action')
4. In the layers palette, click and drag the Background image to the Create New Layer icon (left of the trash bin)
5. Make sure Background copy is the selected layer.
6. Unsharp Mask ( Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask...) and enter Amount 18, Radius 40, Threshold 0 -> OK
6. Unsharp Mask ( Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask...) and enter Amount 150, Radius 0.3, Threshold 0 -> OK
7. Edit > Fade Unsharp Mask: Opacity 100% and select Darken in the Mode dropdown list -> OK
8. Unsharp Mask ( Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask...) and enter Amount 150, Radius 0.3, Threshold 0 -> OK (you can simply Apple-F (PC: Ctrl-F) or Filter > Unsharp Mask (the one on top))
9. Edit > Fade Unsharp Mask: Opacity 50% and select Lighten in the Mode dropdown list -> OK
10. Flatten Image (Layers > Flatten image) likewise Apple-E (PC: Ctrl-E) also works.
11. Done!

bai, nice to see you here..

here's my post process flow:

After downloading all my raw files...

1. Open all RAW files in lightroom, choose which photos to send to client
2. adjust lighting if needed, mostly fill light
3. export to appropriate folder in either JPG or TIF 300dpi
5. Review images again
4. if image needs to be cleaned (sensor dust, unnoticed dust during shoot or water drops on bg), open photoshop
5. adjust image to 100% view
6. create new layer
7. use healing brush, clone or patch tool depending on the need
8. create new layer
9. adjust curves
10. merge layers save to Final folder
11. Since I have a batch file for sharpening images, i use that. adapted from Manny Librodo's style
USM 18 - 40 - 0

for the web..

After doing the step in 11.

12. resize image to 1024 on longest side
13. put watermark (pre-set already as a brush)
14. save to For the Web Images folder

however, since most of my shots cannot be published until about 2 to 3 months after the shoot, i tend to forget to post most of them.
