Title: Photoshop hall of shame
Post by: Bonjoy on March 12, 2008, 07:31:50 pm
There's a lot of it about. I'm looking for the worst offences, the cheesiest effects, harshest oversharpening, brightest oversaturation, you know the shit.
Stuff like this guy apparently traversing the lip of a singularity

R-man, what were you thinking!?

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

The above are from a quick look on UKC, I'm sure there's plenty more where they came from. Maybe if we can group all these abominations in one place it can act as a lesson for our children. And when are eyes have burnt out we can seal them in a depleted uranium cube and fire them into space

No, I got to stand up for r-man. Whilst that image itself may be be a little, erm, how would you say? Rough? Ugly? I like quite a few of his montagey/bitty pics and it is attempting something greater than simply whacking the saturation up or down or what have you.

Post by: GCW on March 12, 2008, 07:50:23 pm
I agree, R-man's is a different approach.  Good idea, well done.  At least it isn't trying to be fake.

Won't let me link the image but this (http://hebrideanstoneworks.com/Images/pic.gif) is good.


EDIT:  That doesn't work either.  Just have a look at some on http://hebrideanstoneworks.com

I appreciate your collective beef with 'unrealistic' shots, but you'd better get used to it. Of the above shots one looks to me like it could be a completely straight shot, and another is very close, perhaps just badly white balanced. Its a fact that out perception of what is 'realistic' in a photograph over the last twenty years has been determined by the characteristics of a couple of films. With digital and RAW processing in particular that is out the window and we're all going to have to get used to photography in a wider range of looks.
Title: Re: Photoshop hall of shame
Post by: GCW on March 13, 2008, 10:03:51 am
You are right JB.  There's also a fine line between optimising a shot in PhotoShop and going too far.  And then there's the silly stuff that looks crap.
I personally don't mind a bit of image manipulation, as long as it is done well.
Title: Re: Photoshop hall of shame
Post by: Johnny Brown on March 13, 2008, 10:25:35 am
I'm not talking about manipulation as such; its more the fact that just processing a RAW file involves subjective input. Before that ended when you chose the film.

 I'm talking about cheesefests like the three examples I gave.
 I did think the upper of jasper's examples looked possibly unshopped.
 I'm not having a pop at post processing per se. As the owner of a fairly cheap point and shoot I feel justified in tinkering with my own pics. It's the laughably unsubtle I'm looking for.

R-man, what were you thinking!?
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2348/2329705960_ce6b5b3509_o.jpg)

Just an experiment. Wasn't a photoshop effect though - I pasted the bits of photo onto a black background and drew the picture in between by hand (mouse). Probably would have looked better if I'd drawn it on paper then scanned it in I suppose.

Eee, the things you get up to when you can't climb for a year. Thank goodness I can climb again.

--

On the subject of over the top photoshopping, indeed over the top anything, I'm all for it. So what if you balls it up and do something stupid? Creativity comes from experimentation. Photography, writing, art, music, whatever - I'm often more impressed by mistakes than the competent-but-safe.

Not that I'm saying nothing looks crap. Some things do. That's how the cookie crumbles.

The first shot you posted may well be a straight shot. If you've ever tried photographing in places like California or Oz during the midday sun the contrast is completely unmanageable. Composing so the background is entirely underexposed may not be clever but its not manipulation.

Beg pardon r-man, I thought you'd just slapped a filter effect on and called it job done.
I'm all for getting experi-mental, if it produces something interesting. Infact here's one i've been messing around with earlier:

Get outta town! Fair enough but that's not Oz, it's a bum scraping traverse at Baslow. I really can't believe the ground which is only 2 inch under his ass is so dark that no detail whatsoever came out, even when I cranked up the brightness and contrast

cry for help, i need some tips to avoid the hall of fame.

am trying to add a new sky to a climbing shot cause the actual sky on the pic is really grey, but the new sky just looks well false.

do i need to blur or shapen or something to kind of blend the sky with the foreground a bit more?
Title: Re: Photoshop hall of shame

Post the images and the sky you're trying to use and somebody might be able to help :)
Title: Re: Photoshop hall of shame
Post by: Bonjoy on March 14, 2008, 06:44:40 pm
It's really hard to do a good job of that. For one thing it's really hard to get a natural blend on the horizon, but mostly because the sky affects the light/colour of an image, so if you stick a blue sky on an image took on a grey day it will just look false. If you were really clever you might be able to adjust the colours of the rest of the image to match, but that's way beyond anything I know how to do.

Why not take the "easy" option and go back there for a better shot?

It always will - don't bother. Try to make more of what you have.
Title: Re: Photoshop hall of shame
Post by: Bubba on March 14, 2008, 08:24:45 pm
It can be done to a certain extent but i guess if the difference is too marked then it's going to look false. That said, if you put enough time in with photoshop you can do pretty much anything - it's more down to whether you think the effort is worth it compared to just taking a similar shot on a nice day...

 Spoke to Alex Messenger about these type shots. Apparently it's done with some special tilted lense. Ends up making things look like macro shots. So strictly speaking its not photo shopped, although that cheesey border effect is.

bonjoy you're right about tilt/shift lenses, although it can look PS'ed. ref some of Tim Kemple's recent stuff. I'm sure Johnny will come along and give a detailed explanation. hopefully it will die a death like B&W'ing photos but leaving the climber/their shirt in colour.

A true tilt lens shot (strictly you are using reverse swing) will give a strip of focus exetnding right through the image, somewhere . If its more like a blob its PS. Both look shit as a rule.

Don't get it, I presume you mean the blur? I wouldn't be at all sure thats been added. In fact, if it has, its been done very well, particularly on the legs.

On the other hand his hair looks hyper-real, though I suspect that's due to a more meticulous care regime than I'm familiar with, not photoshop.

I still don't quite get this HDR business. I've read the descriptions / dismissals in the QNCP thread but still not sure what's going on with it, why it looks like it does, and what indeed it does look like...
Title: Re: Photoshop hall of shame
Post by: Stubbs on September 23, 2008, 12:47:01 pm
My understanding is:
If you look at the lovely pic above you'll notice that everything is well exposed over a high dynamic range: I assume it was taken as three photos: one of the path/foreground where the sky would have been blown out, one of the sky with the foreground underexposed and the clouds blown out and one of the clouds with everything else well underexposed.  Then you put them all together and get the result above.

Any of the three photos would have had areas that were underexposed or blown out due to the light conditions, but if you put them all together you get a rubbish photo with everything exposed.

Here's a more obvious example

you take 3 photos, well 3 images of the same thing preferably in RAW
make one UNDER exposed
one massively OVER exposed,
leave he 3rd normal
and use some software (example http://www.hdrsoft.com/ (http://www.hdrsoft.com/))   and it comes out like so,
some good examples of HDR here
http://stuckincustoms.com/2006/06/06/548/ (http://stuckincustoms.com/2006/06/06/548/)

Its called "bracketing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracketing)"

If you shoot in RAW you don't need to take three pictures, you can tweak the RAW image to produce the three shots you require and then overlay them using layers/blending.

My D50 has the option to 'bracket' that is you take one picture and it will produce three, one as shot, one under exposed, and one over exposed.  You can get the same effect by using a tripod and shooting the same scene with different appertures (but the same shutter speed).

most of those look terrible to my eye. HDR done well is fine, but if you're looking at a photo and its clearly HDR then its been overdone. Bringing down difficult dynamic range has been done for years using grads or flash, which can also be grossly overdone, however HDR seems to be much worse for this since most people don't carry around 20 stops of grads with them, and grads don't make everything grey or add halos round everything. Plus with grads you're generally trying to bring the contrast to the range that mimics what your eye sees of a scene, rather than to go way beyond that. Most HDR images suffer from a complete lack of blacks or whites in the images, which tends to make them look unnatural to the eye too. The human eye is pretty good at knowing when something reeks of wrongess.

bracketing is shooting several images to get one with the exposure right (often done with film), this is not neessarily HDRing unless you're combining several together in software.

HDRing from one single RAW image ain't a great idea, since your shadow areas will get noisier, and your highlights might start to get weird colour artefacts etc.

That doesn't work nearly as well as using 3 shots.

HDR is an interesting technique that is easy to overdo. That can be fun in itself but the subtly done ones are much better if you're attempting to convey realism.

I guess it's possible if she actually has a strange stump-lump-arm thing for real.

Here's a classic

No, I mean her arm is pointed almost directly toward the camera, so looks like a short arm. proportion is about right.

I think the problem is the airbrushing has removed the wrinkles that would make it look like an arm and not a thalidomide-style aberration.

Most likely the former, its far cheaper.

Post by: dave on January 12, 2009, 11:10:17 am
ironically there are tilt lenses that are cheaper than a full price retail copy of cs4.

I would have thought anyone going to the trouble of using a tilt lens would have had the sense to make sure they didn't have horrifically burned out highlights. Plus theres tons of purple CA on the highlights, which reeks of digital compact.

That's not photoshop. The photographer has used a forensic ALS light like the ones they use on CSI. In this case the semen deposits show up as bright patches, creating what is known as a "wank" effect.

So, if thats predator vision (heat sensitive) then this dude has a really cool head (strange) and is reaching for a hot jug/hold.. if its Lagers Wankovision (tm) then aside from splurging up his own arm the incosiderate soul has left great jism tickmarks all over the problem.

Ditto. And Galen's shot of the Potala used nothing more than good old Kodachrome, a polariser and a strong pair of thighs.

It does get my goat the immediate photoshop calling. The most amazing natural sights I've seen you can't hope to do justice too with a camera. Then when you do folk just say, 'wow, great photoshop skills'.

I think there is a bit of an unreal quality to it, and as the photographer has said in the comments; he's HDR'd it and done a bit of sharpening (which I think is evident in the noise you can see in the clouds). Would be interesting to see the almost as good original he refers to.

Indeed. Just about within the realms of acceptability though.

Post by: some_fat_punter on March 06, 2011, 01:38:28 pm
I'm not talking about manipulation as such; its more the fact that just processing a RAW file involves subjective input. Before that ended when you chose the film.

Don't know if this has been pulled up before, but it is plain wrong.    Film photographers have always manipulated images at both the negative and print stages, everything from a simple bit of dodge and burn through pushing iso and cross-processing and beyond.   

Not that I want to defend the garish over-saturated pap that is now normal.   (and don't get me started on HDR...)

Title: Re: Photoshop hall of shame
Post by: Johnny Brown on March 07, 2011, 09:57:55 am
I did yes. It rightly seems a bit of a bald statement taken out of context like that. The context being:

Quote
Its a fact that our perception of what is 'realistic' in a photograph over the last twenty years has been determined by the characteristics of a couple of films

90% of the climbing photos published in the eighties and nineties were taken on a handful of slide films - the most common being Kodachrome 64 and Velvia 50. Repro was handled by the magazines - the photographer had no input. Both films have very specific looks that were subconsciously engrained in our minds as correct, or at least realistic colour. With digital you've got at least 8 or so jpeg profiles to choose from on each camera, plus the infinite tweaking of RAW, and the lottery of keeping consistent colour through the workflow and across different monitors. IE now everyone is outputting their own variation on what looks 'right', many of which will look wrong or manipulated to others...

I would like to think, in his own way - stuttering, visually inarticulate, deeply unselfconscious - he might be trying to make plain some of the emotions laid out in Andy Popp's visionary essay 'at the end of an evening's climbing in Staffordshire'. As Popp subverted the reader's appreciation by describing events that actually took place in Cheshire, so 'ianslade' posits a sky from the potteries above the striving second. The glowing sky represents all our aspirations in their base, unreal, humanity, whilst the unnatural glow hints to at the illuminated wen - to which we all must, inevitably, return - behind 'Macc hill'.

Post by: Oldmanmatt on July 24, 2014, 11:00:35 am
Right...

Um...

I get the desire for "true", well composed shots and the Artists eye.

But surely the digitally enhance compositions, bordering on abstract, have merit as art, in their own right?

The camera is now ubiquitous and virtually unlimited in number of shots. I still remember jealously guarding rolls of 35mm (36 exp) on expeditions of several months duration, weighing up the value of each shot against the possibility of using/wasting all 200/250 shots I had for the whole trip (not many branches of Jessops in the Antarctic for instance).

Now, like most people, I find that with a reasonable camera and enough photos, I can usually get at least one "great" shot on even the shortest trip. So, I will spend time playing with the images, to get an effect that pleases me. That is pretty much the definition of art, to me at least. If you share that, you will find plenty of supporters and detractors for that "art".

Composition is always important, regardless of the medium. But is realism?

When I was playing with ideas for the front cover of the NW lime guidebook I quite liked the idea of going just with a psychedelic negative image of the little orme at sunset, a bit like the thermonuclear image above. I had it on the page with the cover title etc. For a day or two I thought it said something profound. Glad I didn't. It would have said I was a tool.

I dont really mind the edited version - looks like a saturation shift and maybe slightly darkened skies - maybe a little extra on the contrast slider as well. Could have done a little more to blend the background and foreground together a little more believably perhaps.
It's probably a little bit overkill but I'm not sure it quite on the same level as some of the atrocities on here.

To be fair no photoshop required for that if you gel an off camera flash purple, but yeah, it's an acquired taste, to say the least.

I thought that but then his t shirt is so blue.

Knowing as little as I do about such things etc I generally think that everything we see* has had some work done.



*With the exception of my face which I know is legit. Apart from that missing part of my memory from 1985 etc...

See now, I kinda like that photo.
I'm sat here at the wall, with posters all around of climbers, boulderers and Mountaineers and, well, they're all pretty samey.
(We deliberately hung one of Pete on it's side, 5 years ago, no one has noticed yet)

On the other hand, I think that mono colour's red would  catch an eye or two.

Yeah it would catch people's eyes and they'd think "wow selective colour, have I just stepped out of a time machine back to 2003 when digital photography  hit the masses? "
