Megan/Yuri/Erica #4E, Nine Variations


1- Model Megan Burns in hair and makeup by Yuriko Hegay wears jewelry by Erica Dunk/Hyper Haute.  This is the next-to-last picture from the 9/24 sitting I plan to process for a while, but had to try my new fashion workflow with one from this series for the complex technical challenge.  We start with a clean image from the basic workflow.


2- The pro forma "300" transform is made in Lightroom 3.


Kicking up the dynamic range to 11 is the Black Gold recipe from Nik Color Efex Pro 4.


This is the same dynamic range as Black/Gold, but without he gold.


The hand tinted cyanotype is from Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.


Last of the standard images is a grainy grunge recipe.


In Nik HDR Efex, I was playing with the Granny's Attic preset and got this image that looks like a 1950s poster from a Ray Harryhausen film.


A new technique for me, hand coloring on an Afga Portiga Rapid simulated print.


Finally, a grainy sepia, maybe a Luchino Visconti film poster?
