A Perfect Truth: Reverse Photshop Processing + Video Tutorials?

January 09, 2009 from Youssef Sarhan's blog

There are many touch-up videos on youtube, but not so many in depth tutorials. I've been getting a lot of requests, suggestions and questions so I've been thinking. Perhaps it's about time I do some tutorials. Now with youtube's better quality, it's possible to upload high-quality/high-def widescreen videos. This would work great for tutorials videos.

Drop me a comment, if you'd like to see some tutorials or even have some tutorial suggestions let me know. I'd be happy to start them.

This is my most recent video, it's a reverse process of photographic touchup. Perhaps going against the grain of my other videos. I have reversed the process, I feel this clearly shows a person for how the really appear. Stripping back all the work to reveal the face as it was, as it is.

More videos to follow soon. I hope this gives an slight insight into the stages photos are taken through to create a 'sellable' face. Let me know what you think, and if you'd like tutorials. Check out some of the related content below for more cool stuff.

Photoshop Quick Tip: Overprocessing in Photography
Tools such as Photoshop and Lightroom have allowed photographers to manipulate images in ways once never imaginable. These innovations have lead to increase of photographers known for their "surreal" imagery or extreme processing. One artist quite known for his processing is Dave Hill. You may remember us covering Dave Hill in previous posts. This "Dave Hill" look is most common in band photography.

The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for a tutorial a few weeks ago to play and learn how to create some metalic buttons in Photoshop. I also used some textures and apply a chrome text effect. For more information and to learn how to do this effect check out the Awesome Amp Controls in Photoshop tutorial. Desktop Version

Book Suggestion: Timeline of Graphic Design in Brazil
As the name implies, this book (but I dare call a Bible) tells the story of graphic design in Brazil in a very intelligent way and brings a wealth of incredible images and with a touch of nostalgia for most Brazilians.
