I see, wah lau, you gentlemen up here on the IR section, all one by one take IR portrait damn shook like that...
Airforce1, takeshi.lum, SurrealDreamWalker, Lx3XChua, Wurdelak lah...
​

I also want to try. See if can make it or not...
​

I don't have too much extra cash to pay top $$$ for XMM models.
I thought I would just make do with what I have.
I am experimenting with three different styles of post processing for IR portraits.
Just display here for all to have a good laugh at my PP.

Model is great - Sweet, young and beautiful and there is nothing to complain about.
But PP - yes, this part please feel free to criticise and comment.

So here goes...

Here, a total rendering into Tritone.
As always, IR smoothens the skin texture beautifully.
Only gave her signature hair-band and the lips a little touch of that colour.

limwhow #2
Given the background a total bronze Tritone treatment. Foliage Hued to pink after that.
Skin tone Hue & Saturated a little to just differentiate it from the surrounding.
Signature hair band and lips a touch of colour.

limwhow #3
This one background simple Tritone treatment given.
Skin tone and blouse given more emphasis.
Er.. superficial veins on the cheek and neck removed subtly...

Just for laughs... I thought I'd try my luck with this style...

Hey bro! Welcome to IR Portraits!!

You don't have to find XMM models lah, there is one just right next to you, right?


#1
skin tone look quite cold, I'm not sure about Tritone treatment 'cause I'm not familar in that area.

#2 and #3
This is good bro! In #2, you might wanna get rid of the blue hues on her teeth or lower lips. It looks quite distracting.

Hope it helps

Wah... i got a shock.. it's the best Grade-A horror show.. just nice for the start of the 7th month!

hahaha... I'm joking with you lah...

Bro limwhow, don't mind me giving a feedback hor... i find your skintone colours for 大姐 Serene, were not doing her 'proper' leh...

Maybe you try to follow the skintone colour instructions which is already posted in the sticky in this IR forum

Great advice, takeshi.lum!
Yes, I agree - the cold skin tone makes her look like our good friends of the 7th Lunar month... haha...
I didn't notice the blue hue on the lip until you mention it. I will certainly be very mindful of that.
Thank you so much, takeshi.lum!

Thank you very much, SurrealDreamWalker!
Haha... yah, i agree with you also. Like what I said to takeshi.lum, the tone makes her like 'don't know what' like that'.... haha...
But you see, that's why I am very happy posting it up - cos you all will give me all the honest opinion for me to improve.
Once again, thank you so much, SurrealDreamWalker!
