Does anyone have LR workflow for portraits?


f/6.7, ISO 140, 1/350sec
As you can see from above, she doesn't always look so mean.

From your photographs it is hard to envisage her ever looking mean.

With the sort of backgrounds you have been forced to use I would only ever do the basic adjustments using lightroom and then tackle the background using photoshop.

Sticking with my routine advise of suggesting http://www.youtube.com/results?q=lig...+for+portraits

PS, tell the lady that scratching one's nose leads to kissing a fool.

You are going to have fun with the wild hair in the first one if you modify the BG.

Hi Glen,

That would be one of my goals.

Most of the basic stuff in LR but tidying all those hairs is def a PS job ... Good luck!

Total agreement with the others who have pointed out the limitations of Lightroom.

Lightroom. like ACR is good for global adjustments and while it has some more localized adjustment capabilities (sensor dust removal, vignettes, gradients, etc.), you are truly entering the realm where your need a pixel based editor like Photoshop. Lightroom was not designed for the level of working with some of the issues you have here, like the clearly visible stray hair.

I agree - I only use LR, but can see that this type of work is beyond its capabilities.

I have an image of a Prairie Smoke flower taken after it had matured (hundreds of hairs or filaments), and masking the BG out was utterly hopeless.

Yes. LR may not be able to handle those stray hairs .

But thinking outa-the-box, why split hairs over those stray hairs?

Simplify. Clone them out.

Hey, it's just me..... hehehe

Thanks Manfred,

I watched a few videos and there was a lot of back and forth between applications.
