Well Sir, I don't know how much I'll be able to explain the process but here it goes.

The photograph was shot in RAW format.

1) Imported the photograph to Adobe Lightroom. Before the import the direct unprocessed jpg is here.
Name: EOS 50Ds.jpg
Views: 433
Size: 136.5 KB

Name: EOS 50Ds.jpg

2) Sharpened the image till 62 points.
3) Adjusted exposure by +0.54 Ev.
4) Increased the details by 39 points.
5) Applied luminance smoothning by 8 points.
6) Applied Color noise reduction by 10 points.

Then I export this photograph as a 16 bit TIFF image to Photoshop. After which had applied standard Dragan method on it.

After that reimported it back to Lighroom and applied Lens Vignette effect and altered the midpoint of the vignette. After this the photograph was re-exported to Photoshop and there the frame was added. All layers flattened and the output was saved as a 8bit jpeg. Hope this helps. Please let me know if something else needs clarification.

Regards,

Anirban.

Yea...photography is like one frame stories. That's what makes them more special. Leaves one to imagine a lot of things.

Another recent portrait I did last week. Tried some direct in the camera B/W and the doing the post processing. Though it's not very advisable but I somewhat am happy with the results.
