The same set regraded colder with layered haze and the subject in a clear pocket — Drag anywhere on the image, or focus the handle and use the arrow keys, to compare before and after.

Set frame with uneven neon panels and haze sitting heaviest across the subject — Drag anywhere on the image, or focus the handle and use the arrow keys, to compare before and after.

Project overview

The set's own lights are the frame's key, and they are uneven. The haze is heaviest exactly where the subject is, which softens the one thing that needs to be sharp.

Transformation details

The haze was rebuilt in depth layers so the subject sits in a clear pocket while the background stays atmospheric.
The hexagon lights were evened for brightness across the frame without losing their falloff.
The grade was taken colder overall with the skin protected, so the frame reads night without the subject going blue.
The motorcycle and floor were cleaned and their reflections rebuilt against the new grade.
