rudie Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 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 rudi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance rudi 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. Regards, Timo Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

rudie Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) DSCF8380-Bearbeitet-2.tiffDSCF8380-Bearbeitet-2.afphoto 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 DSCF8380-Bearbeitet-2.tiff Edited April 5, 2021 by rudie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 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?

v_kyr Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 "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.
