Unprocessed Image
At SIlver Birch Photography we are often complimented on the color saturation and general ‘pop’ regarding our finished album prints. I have included before and after post processed examples above. The second image is a ‘straight out of camera’ jpeg file, while the first image is the same image using the free action available below.
The important point to remember is that all digital images, whether shot in jpeg or raw format, will require a certain degree of post processing and it is very important that your photographer is experienced in this field (or uses somebody that is).
Years ago we used to use fuji velvia film which is renowned for it’s color saturation, but even then various results were obtained from different labs – which proves that image processing now is just as important (maybe even more so) than it was in the past.
We are in the process of making certain photoshop action availabe for download – the first free action is our ‘Pop Pop Bang!’ action (used to process the above image). This action is an ideal starting point for flat gray image fixes. We aim to upload one action per week – the more intricate ones are available for purchase but many will be free downloads.
N.B. Once you run this action you will need to adjust the opacity slider in the layers palette to acheive the desired effect before flattening the image.
