WHen producing for Photography, I love the easy ways out. Fighting with hair is not a challenge, is a tedious necessity, mainly on the side of the client, which is why I ask if the client is going to pay for the hassle. Which is why I asked Are you charging your client accordingly?? > Hmmm, I just hope they haven't thought of the Loreal Products > solution... Actually it's not them, it's you as an advisor, the one who should be making all sort of reccomendations before the shooting. Added value to your services. And if it is not the photographer's fault, then the client has to pay for it. > Anyway... do you apply the colouring to the transparency or to the > print before scanning? Do Loreal even *do* CMYK hair colouring? It's not at all common, but you can ask for it. Girls don't seem to like it though. Color is too flat. RGB tinting is more reccomended. As a matter of fact, if we photogs knew some 10% of the knowledge Loreal has in color technology, colorations, pigment an dyes, we would be doing better off. > Thanks, best laugh of the week. Not wanting to scare Donald away with his first posting in the forum ( I am sure you will find LOTS of help here), but I could not miss this one. Having worked with Loreal for years here, I can remember changing the model's hair color at will for each AD campaign and shooting, according to my or my client's needs. > Have a good weekend if that is possible in > Caracas. No dear Bob, unfortunately there is no way I can spend a happy weekend here in CCS. THis is like hell here. The worst recesion I could have ever imagined is falling on us and we are far from finding a solution to this political mess. I won't go on, since it becomes OT very rapidly. Thanks for mentioning it though. All the best.
