looking for tips on editing iris photographs


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am currently trying my hand at post-processing iris photographs.

Can anyone give me some tips (tutorials) on how to get such results.
I suspect that they have done this with Photoshop / Affinity. I know myself with it but unfortunately only rudimentary.

Thanks in advance

Hi Rudi, 

could you provide an example source image in full resolution (RAW or TIFF/16 preferred)?
Iris images are mainly taken in camera with the correct lighting, and maybe in post covering the inner circle with a black circular vector shape.

You may use some basic sharpening, HSL adjustment etc.

Hello Timo,

thank you very much for your feedback.

I have attached a first photo. I'm not satisfied with the quality yet, I have to work a bit on the shots.

I am mainly interested in the workflow how to create something like this with Affinity.

Thanks
rudi

The image is blurred, so as much as you can tweak it you will not get favourable results. What setup are you using, what camera and lens are you using, how did you take the image?

"Eyes are the windows to the soul" and thus, require special attention for portrait, or in this specific case, eye photography. When taking face/eye portrait images you have to set the focus point on these, or check if the camera is capable of having a halfway good auto eye-detection focusing mode. - For larger recording distances or small imaging rods, or with small apertures, the larger field deposition ensures that all gets sharp from the nasal tip to the ears. But the bigger/closer a face is imaged, the more important is the exact focus on the eyes. This is all the more true when photographing with open aperture, if the field depth area is correspondingly low.
