a while ago, i asked how to get images to look crisp & clear and the good lighting
i've been seeing that ALOT of people use this technique..

i never really managed to master the layering techniques of soft light & screen, lol.

can anyone explain how to do these type of images?
like did you use coloring, brightness & contrast, hue & saturation?

Well, to be honest, I think with that image size, the camera itself may or may not have played a role.. because I find that resizing an image greatly will hide the graininess/bluriness or hide the majority of visual flaws in any given picture. o_O Unless the picture quality just sucked MAJOR, MAJOOOOOR ass to begin with, it might be hard to fix.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the basics they did (in photoshop) would be:
- Edit curves (I alwaaaays do this to my photos and the lighting usually improves tis way)
- Selective Colouring
- Contrast/brightness

What I usually do also is create a new gradient map (on a new adjustment layer), make it b&w (so in the preview, the whole image would be black and white) and set that layer to luminosity.

Well, um, I just did a little google search (to see what methods other used) and this one seems to actually make a photo look better, imo. :O
