Dave Hill Tutorial
                   How to make your images have a hint of Dave Hill, using Lightroom:Â
- take recovery to 100
- take fill to 100
- add a little black for some contrast
- take contrast to 100
- take clarity to 100
- take vibrance to 100
- bring down the saturation to where you almost lose all of your color. NOT BLACK AND WHITE
- go back and play with your exposure and blacks to make the image acceptable
- add a lens vignette to the photo and now it should resemble the Dave Hill look.

I LOVE YOUR WORK! I think you are an amazing photographer! This tutorial is great and the presentation you made from it shows the most amazing work I have ever seen! GREAT JOB! Keep going and never give up!!
Could you post some examples of this technique??
Amazing!!! This one looks way better than other tutorials that I’ve seen. I’m just wondering if there’s a Photoshop CS2 version of this tutorial. Lightroom uses some different values.. (can’t make out what vibrance and presence could be when trying to manipulate in PS CS2)

this is really great.. thanks for sharing.. i really don’t know how to do photoshop, and this really helps.. :D:D
this is amazing
I had heard it was possible through lightroom but I never would have experimented this much to get this close of a match
anybody who could make a preset out of these?
Quite nice. See the original technique from which this is certainly inspired here: http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/
great tutorial – I use these adjustments in camera raw and then add gausian blur for silky skin.
try this for photoshop users

How are you dealing with the haloing that occurs when you jump the recovery and/or fill light up to 100 in CR?

Wow!
I gotta say.. Been trying to get the Dave Hill look for quite a few weeks now, checking every tutorial and long-winded PS-recipe online.
But this actually works!!
I learned alot about how the look is achieved, just now. A lot of people keep repeating the importance of lighting. And I couldnt care less as I believed it was all in PS-postprocessing. But they were right! The only photos I succeded with were the ones with suffiscient lighting. They were taken in the sunshine and almost overexposed. With pressure on “almost”. As soon as the lighting was only “fair”. It didnt work at all..
Thanks!
wonderful …
cool! i just fine this while surfing for dave hill effects, cant wait to try it out 🙂 thanks
Great work. Nice look to the final image. I’ve been developing my own step by step tutorial in achieving what i feel is something similar to the Dave Hill look. I use Photoshop CS4, Dynamic Photo HDR and Noise Ninja to achieve the final look. See link below to pdf tutorial. it has been received with good response on both POTN and Retouch Pro. Just thought i’d share.
