I have created a media section to my main website where I can share my "straight out of the camera" photos and my final photos.
If you can have a look and let me know what you think that would be fantastic. If I find that people are interested in these I might start posting a description on the changes I did along with how-to videos.
I have added the before and after photos to these three posts.
Click on the image you want to see the before and after photo. It will take you to the 365 original post, in the description of that post at the bottom you will see a link that will take you to the before and after photos.
Great idea... I'm not one to process much... one because I don't know much about how to do it.... and two, I'm not into full on processing ... probably cos my brain doesn't see things that way lol... however, ones like your latin one... absolutely, that would be helpful to know the how to :)
@ozziehoffy I know what you mean. Post processing can be anything from adding a touch of contrast to increase the details in a photo to something which is far away from the original photo like my Alien photo.
Hi Brendan, Im really interested in this and will explore your how to sections. Id welcome anything you can point me at, i like the way this guy processes his photos (moody, blue in tint) but havent been able to figure it out yet. btw - I use Apples Aperture 3. http://prosophos.com/popular-photos/
I dont think I could do the tree one again and if I did it would be a long video as it took a considerable amount of work to mask the branches out for the different effects.
@webfoot The slider was really easy as it is someone elses code but I had to create a image management system behind it so I can quickly/easily upload image.
@wardie I would suggest that he has changed the white balance to be cooler than the shot. Sharpened the eye, put an iris blur. It also looks as if he up the vibrancy, and increased the saturation as a whole and then increased it again just for the eyes.
This will take you to the before and after shots.
Let me know if you have problem and I will update this post to make that clearer. thanks
and
Here is a video I did up on how I touch up a portrait.

I can post details of the slider if you want?
Does that help?
