Title: peopleimages.com custom retouching too extreme??
Post by: ProImage on May 12, 2012, 02:36
Have anyone tried out the "custom retouching" thing on Yuri's new site?? http://peopleimages.com/image/retouching (http://peopleimages.com/image/retouching)
I have to admit I think its a bit overly ambitious. I mean, it sounds cool and everything but is it really realistic??
I have only ever had 3 or 4 people who's asked me for some kind of alteration of my images, and only once was what it actually possible. Of course, I don't sell as many images as Yuri, but still
I mean is there a market for it at all? I don't think a lot of people really understand what's possible in photoshop and what's not. The few requests I've gotten have all but one been completely insane. Like, one guy actually asking me to pretty much create an entire body. It will never look real, and if Yuri's people say they can do stuff like that to all their images........ Hmm
Not really sure what to think about it.

Anyone tried it out?? I'm thinking of trying it out just to see if what you get is actually usable?

That retouching is only for Yuri's images or you can retouch your own?

NO way it is not unrealistic! What do you think we spent the last year doing? Training like mad to be able to do these things. We have much more extreme examples too, that we actually removed because people would not believe them.

It would be great to see those extreme examples, any reason why you couldn't post them here?

We can't have 400 mp on the site. The jpgs are in the range of 100mb. Too big and too few people are willing to pay for it. It fun however. To create something that will make even the most critical art director marvel!.
