I often don't use a fancy camera, just my cell phone iPhone 4s. So most of my dolly pics aren't the best. This tutorial from Y-n-Y on deviantart was pretty simple to follow. I made different adjustments but use the same steps.
In the end the results were not that bad considering I started with a cell phone pic. I think my favorite part of the tutorial was using the dodge tool on the eyes. This really made them POP!
This tutorial is done using Photoshop.
- Go to Image-->Adjustments-->Match Color and play with the luminance and color intensity.
I put my luminance at 120 and my color intensity at 105 - Brighten the eyes with the dodge tool on the highlights
- Go to Image-->Adjustments-->Brightness/Contrast
I put my Brightness at -7 because my pic had some really bright spots. And my contrast at 40 - Go to Image-->Adjustments-->Selective Color
Since my pic had a lot of black like the sample pic I set colors to "blacks", I then played around with the sliders as suggested and settled on Cyan +10, Magenta +2, Yellow -12, Black +15 - Lastly I applied Sharpen and Reduce Noise filters
Great tutorial... although it's totally weird... your end picture looks more yellow than the starting one, even though you reduced yellow!
