Hi,

I have 33 screen shots I took of a DVD under OS X. All of the image dimentions are quite small, since all of the images are head shots, mostly focusing on the hair (long story :-) but bascailly, these photos are for a hairdresser to know how to cut hair like the style in the movie) Most of the photos are dark, and some are kind of blury.

Any ideas how to batch process them all? iPhotos enhance function did not work well, and I am not clue how to get it right in Photoshop.

EDIT: I have tried to do some color correction to each one in Photoshop so far, and it is at least better than it was.

Here are the pictures if anyone is interested in helping:

(I already tried color correcting them some)


Thanks!

I do this for a living soooooo forgive me on this one:

35 is not that many - handle each one by itself. If the images you are capturing are in different light ranges [like from a movie] and not the studio shots [like in the extras when they have the promo/glamour stills] you will need to push and tweek the color all over the place.

If a shot is blurry, try to capture it again - blurry is no good - too much work to clean it up for the results.

Also do any color correction BEFORE you retouch with airbrush. Patterning has a nasty habit of appearing out of seamingly "nowhere" when you retouch then color correct.

Good luck by the way, it is not hard and by the last one, hell - you'll be an expert.

Blurry ones need to be re-caputred. A Sharpen Filter will kill it.
Color corection isnt hard but worth the time.
You can always use the Brightness/Contrast or the Shadow/Highlight, both under Image->Adjustments. Also you will find the color corection stuff in the adjustments menu.

But with out seeing the images you have to work with, its hard to say what you need to do.

Can you attach any ziped/stuffed files with the images. Im sure people would help.
I know i would.
