people “liked” that???!!! wow… what is it with spot coloring??? if you’re going to do it, at least do it right!! dont leave crappy edges and stuff. take some pride in your work!!!
Would Someone mind showing me some GOOD examples of spot coloring?
Personally I hate spot coloring in general but I always see people on here saying they wish when people spot colored they would do a good job. Personally I’m not sure if I know what a “good Job” of spot coloring looks like.
The only time I will accept spot coloring is if it is in a mirror shot. Like a bride getting ready in the mirror and the mirror image is color and the rest black and white. Anything else is just crap.
I don’t like spot colouring much either….and had been asked to do it twice and did….I’ll send you a link to it to see what you think 🙂
First one is the train in our local park…it’s been there forever and is quite bright. I was a bit sloppy with the spot colouring, but will fix it whenever I go to print it.
Second photo is two little girls in a photoshoot…this was one photo among 40 edited for the session, I also did a colour & bw option for them, but they loved this….
erghhh hideous. apart from the crap lighting, b/w conversion, spot colour and composition.. what the frig was the fauxtog thinking with that pose? it’s just.. bad
Blurry, badly colored (technique is not good, leaving excess color and not getting good edges) and why-oh-why are the bench, boots and hat colored and the girl left in B/W? The pose isn’t making sense to me and the hat is oddly placed.
they were actually thinking..”Let’s place this hat on your ass, put you bent over touching this bench..I’ll do some horrible color and hopefully it will be posted to You are not a Photographer!”
im really glad i found this site because if nothing else ive learned Selective Coloring, or what ever its called is not only highly over used, but its highly over used BADLY as well.
This is so bad that it has to be a joke…right? Come on…No one would do this and give it to a client. Would they?
I’m debating which is worse, the lighting or the pose, or the spot color, or the focus (or lack thereof), or the BW conversion… Oh, hell all are bad.
There is definitely something going on with PS or GIMP or something here… Because her legs don’t look right (beyond the Bad BW) and the shadows seem to be coming from 8 directions.
I wonder if this was taken at night and the tog was using a flash as well as having light coming from various sources from the street lamps.
As for the boots. I don’t believe they have been PS’d in. If they are lose around the calves, then her bending over will force the rear of the boot against the rear of her leg. Simples. Any women doubting this-try it. Any men doubting this, get your OH to try it. Or try it yourself if you’re that way inclined 🙂
OMG… its times like these I wish they would just get rid of those Canon Rebel series (and whatever the Nikon/Sony/etc. equivalent to those are). Then only the people serious about photography would be shooting. I know its silly, but I look at this crap, and I don’t care. The other day I was shooting a wedding, and some random guest who thinks he knows what he is talking about, told me to set my camera to “M” mode. WTF??? Yeah, I know what fucking ‘M’ mode is you jackass. Its called Manual. I shoot in it daily. I learned how to shoot that way, your just some douchebag with a point and shoot. You think that me, the pro photographer shooting a $25,000 budget wedding doesn’t know what Manual mode is? Get a life.
Someone must have got an EOS camera and think that makes them a professional photographer. After all you don’t really have to understand composition, lighting, posing and such. You can take lots of pictures and hope one turns out okay, and fix it up real good with a free program like Gimp!
I wonder what the poor girl’s parents thought when that got posted on the fauxtog’s website? She can’t be more than 13 or 14 at most. Nevermind the horrible photography, this is just trashy. Poor girl 🙁

How old is that girl to be posing like that??

Is it me, or are the boots, and hat photoshopped INTO the photo? Her legs don’t seem to line up properly….
Kim
So, do you think “ass hat” is going to be her nickname from now on?

All I can think of is from Futurama “Eureka!! the hat goes on the head!!”

This is just awful…all the way around. If I was this poor girl, I be appalled at it being posted on ANY website!
