Question:

This is the look I am aiming for:

I want to know how I can make the skin look porcelain like that without damaging the sharpness and color of the photo!. I would also like to learn how to adjust the coloring to achieve that effect!.

I have Adobe Photoshop 7!.0, so any tutorials that will work on this version will help me!. I've looked on websites, but haven't found any with the exact look!. If anyone has a good link to a decent tutorial, or if you wouldn't mind explaining it to me yourself, I would be very thankful!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Trust me!. It's not Photoshop!.

It's the lighting and makeup!. And, very likely, the two actors were probably not shot at the same time, nor under the same conditions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I dont know photoshop 7
I am not even sure if photoshop7 will do that or if CS3 is needed!. (maybe illustrator)
It might even have been a staged studio photo for all I know!.
(although the light angles look suspicious)

Anyway you might get that of you made a separate set of layers for his face and chest, and her face then played with the light sources!. Her face uses two light sources!.

This would be fairly easy in something like Blender!.

Blender is a pretty powerfull 3D modeller with rendering engines!. Oddly enough it is free too!.

you would want to take a photo with equivalent lighting, the lower brightness, for smother tone appearance you could mask highlighted areas and duplicate layer and apply gaussian blur slightly, then adjust layer to blend together enough for effect and lower lighting slightly with less brightness,

Sometimes third party plugins help and in this case I think Imagenomic Portraiture Tiffen DFX would do the trick without hassle!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
