Hi all,
I'm lucky enough to be shooting with lovely primes (35, 85, 135) but I'm having problems with them !
they're really really sharp and that's brilliant for the hair, eyes, lips and stuff like that but the skin very often shows pores quite a lot. I tend to use the skin smoother in lightroom so far but struggle to find the right balance between removing pores and making the face not look too "glowy".
What are you guys doing ? Do you take all portraits in photoshop or have some better systems (ie quick and effective)?
Thanks for your help
neither of them is all that sharp wide open, just use wider apperture when you can (for portraiture most of the time better anyway)
maybe you can step down from sharpening if you have it set in camera.
but ... examples showing your point would help ...
