I saw this image exaple and was wondering if anyone can help with steps/ideas on how to achieve this "pinup" style image. http://www.lagaret.com/howdo.jpg

Just extract the image then play with the levels. That seems like all they did.

Then again this is just a freestyle off the top of the head :beam: I did not try it. But I think that will get the results you are after,

also try using the dodge and maybe the burn tools. I can think of a few ways to get this.

yeh the burn tool does the shine. Actually there is a tutorial on this. It might be the one your looking for or close to that. This one is for a face but i think you can get around to the girl (nice chick btw :D)

the burn tool won't do the shine... if anything, you'd have to use the dodge tool (burn is for darkening, remember?)

but i don't think you'd need to actually do any of it with manual tools, just playing round with filters should be fine

try changing curves and such levels you should get the same result

Thanks to all. I've been searching and searching. Still having a hard time, I can get some effects but not the entire look.

IMHO it looks like curve adjustments. In addition to looking lighter, the second pic looks a lot yellower. It might be a case of desaturating then colouring by hand? http://www.worth1000.com/tutorial.asp?sid=161018 and http://www.worth1000.com/tutorial.asp?sid=160986 might be useful.

If all else fails, airbrush it :trout:

Isnt that pic beautiful? I might try and do something like that.. now to convince my girlfriend to take her clothes off and let me take pictures of her :esmirk:

Oh my god.. i just sat down to work this out and its REALLY easy! The whole process took like 5 minutes!

Attached is a tutorial on how to acheive an image like this. The images are heavily compressed so i could attach it.

Now to take some pictures so i can use this effect :p:
