Feedback on new image effects

I think It looks little better but yeah, it really depends on how much extra effort it is for you, that said if the news one give you a greater sense of pride then it could be worth it. I know that's probably not that helpful lol but, honestly I think it should be more about how does it make you feel.

Thanks for the feedback! ❤️ That's interesting. I'm having trouble seeing the nips but I'm currently on my mobile device and it won't zoom on the images. I'll take a closer look when I'm back at my rig. That could be a pop-through issue I failed to catch, or the process I used to increase the textures emphasized something with the model that morphed the clothing. The overall effect should be fairly subtle; I don't want a completely jarring change in art direction. But something that brings out the colors a little more while making a bigger contrast between light and dark areas.

I honestly don't notice a significant difference. If the time/resource commitment is significant, I would say it isn't worth it to me. But, as always, I defer to the artist and creator. It's your project. By the way, I thought it was weird how visible Santino's nipple was in the first pic. It was like his shirt and sport coat were translucent.

For folks who prefer the original style and feel like it, mind sharing what you prefer about it (or disliked about latest)? There could be some constructive feedback I can incorporate. (Everything can always be improved!)

I love how much goes into this. Every detail wherever I look, it's pleasantly surprising! ☺️

Interesting. I am darkening the shadows a little, but on a dim screen I can see how that would be a problem. Maybe I should include one of those brightness calibration screens at the beginning.

It took me some time to learn the tools and then play around with the settings for something I liked, but once I have a group of settings dialed in, I'm able to run them over all the images at once. Basically, I just tell Photoshop "look in this folder and run this script on all the images there," and it does it. Along with backing up the images before processing and moving things around in various folders, only adds maybe 10 minutes at the end of everything. So definitely worth it.

It definitely looks better. The question is, is it worth your time?

The new post-processing looks stunning. I wasn't sure about it at first, because it looked like the darkest sections completely lost all detail, but then I realized my stupid AMOLED display was set too dim 💀

Definitely like the new post-processing! It gives the images a noticeably more life-like quality with the warmer colors.
