Clinique Post-Production 2: Cleaning Bottles and Creating Reflections
This second chapter of the Clinique shoot post-production focuses on cleaning up and improving the bases of the four bottles.
In this class, Karl explains the importance of taking the time to focus on and fix little details such as reflections, highlights and contrast. He works on improving the base and lid of the left-hand pot, creating a new reflection and improving the gradient and contrast on the silver lid, cleaning up the bases of the green and purple bottles and removes unwanted highlights on the cap of the right-hand orange bottle. Using techniques such as duplicating, flipping and warping layers and cloning away highlights, you’ll see how small adjustments can make a big difference.
