About an hour give or take. EDJ I used to fuck with the shaddows and highlights too, but the burn and dodge tool doesn't give it that automated look. Theres also a few other steps in there to age the image a bit...
NO CUZ MY BACKGROUNDS NEVER STAND OUT TOO MUCH LIKE THAT. LIKWIDS PIC IS TIGHT BUT IF IT WAS ON A COVER, I THINK IT TAKES AWAY FROM THE ARTIST. IM JUS SAYIN IT LOOKS LIKE U CAN JU ADD SHADOWS/HIGHLIGHTS AND ADD CONTRAST TO GET THAT. TRY IT
^SO YOU SAYIN' TO COPY THE SAME PICTURE AND HAVE ONE WITH EMPHASIS ON SHADOWS AND THE OTHA WITH EMPHASIS ON HIgHLIgHTS AND THEN FLATTEN THEM AND PUT SOME CONTRAST TO IT?
