Testing split toning in lightroom.... cold colors..

she's a hard subject to shoot....... her eyes can be all black... especially if not enough light directed to the eyes..

Portrait retouching

testing out photoshop skills...

some people make time to wear proper makeup, I photoshop... so dun be hatin'...

so hard press to find a pic of me with contact lens nowadays... and showing teeth 

(sebab nak practice teeth whitening and eye brightening... and the usual soft skin aa)

so had to use pic from 2009...

that time, tak suka mekap tetebal, coz jerawat naik... exposing few scars and zit was acceptable to me

nowadays...langsung tak mekap sudaa... hahahah so need to practice more photoshoping...

photo taken by Hossen...

Dull photoshop pictures.

kan aku bebel aritu how my images came out dull... kat sini
http://imtotallyclueless.blogspot.com/2012/07/photobook.html
p/s: image OF THE photobook yg dull... bukan aku komplen pic IN THE photobook tu dull... lol

ie: this pic dull

initially aku dah edit to look like this... 

heran apsal lepas edit jadik dull..




dalam photoshop look okay tapi bila bukak kat browser or anywhere outside... jadik dull..
camni... sial tul...
p/s: picasa viewer ni installed on my PC.. die untuk view pic on my PC... aku lum upload memane pon... same file dalam pc... bukak kat fotoshop cun, bukak guna  paint, or picasa viewer...microsoft picture viewer blabla... or etc.. dull

anyways it is fixed after following this tip
http://viget.com/inspire/the-mysterious-save-for-web-color-shift

this picture was supposed to explain how i saved an overexposed pic due to flash into something useable...
see next entry...

but this entry.. just to address the dull weird pic that came out of photoshop..
no wonder my previous photos from this entry was dull and weird..

GAAAHH!!! *fist in air!*
