I Need a Tan!!!

Martino

Hello everyone,

I am becoming very lazy in my post-production efforts for low paying redundant shots like corporate headshots, etc., and want to take advantage of Smugmug’s built-in tools for image effects and coloration. Here are some samples of the same shot with different Smugmug filters applied. I have a color balanced monitor and I am not sure the colors are right (is it Smugmug effects, my monitor or my eyes?). The “suntan” looks jaundice and the B&W looks greenish/blue.

I would love to get your feedback and see what you think before I have to print a few using Smugmug’s lab to see the actual result.

Image 1 – No Smugmug effects




Image 2 – Suntan




Image 3 – B&W



Thoughts? Comments? Insight? Abuse?

Thank you! :scratch

Hi Andy,

Thank you for the response. Sadly, I use a Mac. I will look forward to I2E releasing an OSX version. Thanks again.

I use macs, too. But I also run great tools like i2e using Parallels on my Intel Mac. Best of both worlds.
