LisaL Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Ok...I am working on my editing skills and I used 2 different methods on the same photo. I think I like the results of Method 2 (Raw) best..but there are things I like about Method 1. So what do ya'll think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie - scrapaholic Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 There pretty close, but I think I like Method 1 slightly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabethp Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Compared side by side I think I like Method 2 best. I like the yellow tones mixed with all the brown in the photo. The other looks a little too red to me. I think they are both just awesome. A great photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelbi Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I like them both but I like method 2 the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaL Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 I think I am going to have to print them both to see what the "real" difference is. The printed version is what is important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiza126 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 My eye keeps going to #1...I think I like that one more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyChron Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I think it depends on what type of application you are going to use the photo in... To just put into a frame and hang on the wall, I would choose method 1. I like the richer colors. And it does seem a little red to me, but method 2 seems a little yellow... maybe you should print them and see what the "real" difference is.

Cheri T Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I agree that 1 is a bit too red. I also like the eyes better in 2...both are quite good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loopylou Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi Lisa they both look great but personally, I like Method 2 best. thanks loopylou Louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-dab-adu Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'm a Method 2...... It looks more clear, not as shadowy. Let us know what you think when they're printed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjaguiar Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I like Method 2 as well...you can see clearly and you can see the details of his eyes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcene Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I think I like method 2 better but I'll be curious to see how they print. I know my pictures always print different then they appear on my monitior. Great photo by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anemone1983 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 On my monitor, Method 2 is kind of washed out. I liked the contrast of Method 1 (mostly between the paneling above and your subject's face/head) and the depth of color in the paneling. That said, it felt kind of dark...maybe a little more tweaking of Method 1 would get some of the red out, but keep the contrast I liked so much?

JenniferZ Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I like Method 1 better. Though I almost always prefer warmer tones, especially in portraits. Method 2 looks cooler, tone-wise. This is of course just MHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveUK Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I like Method 2 best! Method 1 is punchy but a little too red for me. 2 has a more "natural" feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&K Mom Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'm in the Method 1 camp. I like the richer color and more natural skin tone (on my monitor). Method 2 makes him look sallow on my monitor. Can't wait to hear about the prints! Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari PV Mom Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I think it's going to be a matter of opinion. I'm not a big fan of yellow undertones and I tend to gravitate towards photos with more contrast so I'm a method one fan. Like I said though, it's a matter of opinion so it's going to have to be what pleases YOUR eye. I'm interested to hear what you think after you print though.

KBT Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I am also gravitating toward method 1. I really like how his eyes pop right out. But I also like a little more contrast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorie Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 How fun! I go for method #2! I love the richness of the wood that comes out in this one as well as a certain softness in the face (without the reddish tint). Tough decision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
