How can I copy this style of editing?
Contrast slider, you mongoloid. Learn the absolute basics and the rest will come easily.

Decreasing contrast alone does not achieve this look. I know enough to know that and have tried.
Print the regular photograph, let it have a 2 hours ride on your washing machine, then scan it to retrieve the photograph on your computer.
Fuck you all, you guys are what make /p/ such a shitshow.

The lack of self-awareness in this post is delicious.
OP, bring the blacks up and the whites down. Start there.
Drop highlights and contrast a shitload, bring up just the bottom of the darks using curves.
>>2792431
And drop down the whites.
>>2792425
yeah nigga black powa
It's just boring flat. No visual highlights.

Stop. This is disgusting.

OP pic has a decent skintone. Yours on the other hand looks like she's sick.

>implying a normal street photo of a girl isn't casual as fuck
>implying a flat color profile isn't amateur as hell
You can still scribble with your crayons and can call yourself an artist as you deviate from the norm. How to deviate from norms in an artistic way requires the basic knowledge of norms.

Highlights down, shadows up, whites down, blacks up. Alternatively abuse Highlights & Shadows in Photoshop under the image adjustments menu up top.
If you have a flat camera profile, try that.

>it's boring flat
>better go fuck up the skin tones
>>2792480
What's wrong with the skin tones? I am trying to learn.
>>2792525
shes green now.
>>2792495
it's okay anon we know you meant well
i'm sure we've all made colour mistakes with quick edits done to try and provide a visual aid
>>2792528
I notice on the building that there is a green tint but not on the skin. Do I need a new monitor or eyes?
>>2792537
Just learn to listen to your photoshop

So within which boundaries do the values have to be for natural skin tones?
>>2792571
the boundaries provided by established art.
>>2792571
Magenta should be double that of cyan.
Yellow should be around one-fifth to one-third higher than magenta.

check out this skin tone guide
Saving this because of the skin tones.
This is a flat image, tho. Up the blacks and down the highlights in the tone curve.
They call it "amateur" because there is lots of V S C O filters that give something close to it. But, you can create your own flat images by your own. It can be better than these filters.

this looks much flatter than anything i've seen vsco do to my photos, which i tend to import fairly flat with photoninja. i always see it adding contrast.
doubt he actually used vsco though, i went through his photos on his website and tumblr looking exif info and it's just scanners like noritsu koki and fujifilm sp-3000. you could put vsco on film scans but it seems odd.
photographer is david luraschi btw
