my Other half

[migdawg]

Thought I'd share this pic of pregnant other half, Just 20 weeks in and i'm hopefully going to capture these days in photo form



Would like a few tips on how to warm up the skin while keeping a natural hue to it.

Are you doing a custom white balance? That should give you the most natural skin tone.. at least in my experience it does.

Yeah, I agree with Rae. Custom white balance really helps. Sometimes bumping levels around in photoshop helps, if you have that. Also, natural light vs. flash is better, I think, for natural skin tones.

Exciting times!

If you tell us what program(s) you have someone might know how you can adjust the colour in this photo. Custom white balance is definately the way to go for future shots.

I use lightrooms for most of my editing, with elements for slight skin touch ups. I did shoot RAW so i have some latititude with white balance.

I have tried using the dropper to make a custom white balance in post. Still would like to warm up the skin slightly.

Thanks for advice given so far

Have you tried Lightroom's WB settings? Top of the Basic panel in Develop mode. Click where it says "As Shot" and try out the various options. I can usually get something close to what I want from those.
