@Matt…Cheers for commenting mate.
A few people have mentioned about slowing it down so what I’ve done is write a ‘walk through’ which will go well with the video so each of the 8 Stages is explained in full; hope that helps.

Cheers,
Glyn

@Neil…Cheers for taking the time to comment mate.
Re camera profiles…am I right in thinking you’re talking about camera profiles in say Lightroom? If you are then I must admit I rarely play around with those however what I have done is make a preset where I have reduced the reds slightly as Nikon tend to be a bit hot in that channel so every image that comes in gets that preset and I move on from there. Does that make sense?

One thing I really must do, and I was reminded of this after Allen Ross Thomas’ Guest Post, and that was to set up a profile ‘in camera’ where I’ve reduced the reds so I don’t have to correct it later in post.

Hope that answers your question,
Glyn

Another splendid tutorial Glyn!

If a tutorial has ever needed to be done in real-time with your dulcet Midlands tones it’s this one. This is a look a lot of people want to achieve so I think a real-time version will be very popular.

I like to work through your tuts with the video playing in the background whilst I work in Photoshop. I’ll watch the complete tutorial first so I can see what you’re doing, then replay it whilst I work on my image. I’ll use the spoken parts to remind me what to do next.

Digging the banjo music though!

Great post – all I need to do is slow it down to my level and it’ll be great

Hi Glyn, thanks for sharing this technique it’s a very dramatic effect! Could I ask a question on your workflow, do you stick to one camera profile or do you choose one that bests suits a particular image at the start of your processing?
