How did he do this?? Gorgeous colors??

[jodellny]

Ok, I am checking out my favorite fashion Photograper, Greg Kadel. Im lookng at the photoshop work and I can't figuer out how he gets his colors to be so crisp and real.
Any ideas?? Here are links to his work. He also keeps the skin looking natural even though its photoshopped. But the colors are amazing

I mean you can apply different type of adjustment layers such as the black and white gradient adjustment, then reverse it and turn down the opacity. Not sure if I explained it right but yeah experiment around with the adjustment tools and I'm certain you'll be able to do the same.

Editing photos doesn't necessarily mean omitting the skin texture. Here are some links to help you achieve that yourself: http://photo.net/learn/digital-phot...photoshop-tutorials/intro-to-skin-retouching/ http://web.me.com/joelgrimes/Joel_Grimes_Photography/Skin_Smoothing.html
