During a 7 a.m. lookbook edit, every third frame featured razor-sharp chrome while the model’s eyes floated in tasteful blur. Do you salvage the accident for texture or bin it because the story should always read in the eyes?
Clip a few ‘garment rack’ frames as texture cutaways; bin duplicates. Eye AF next time?
for a 7 a.m. lookbook I’d salvage key poses by comping sharp eyes from the nearest in-focus frame onto them, then brush a little negative Texture/Clarity on the “razor-sharp chrome” so it stops shouting. If the client’s strict about eyes-first reading, bin the rest. Got a clean frame in the burst to steal eyes from?
This drives me nuts! Autofocus issues during a 7 a.m. shoot can really throw off the whole vibe. If you salvage those out-of-focus shots, maybe try using them in a creative way, like a dreamy overlay for a fashion statement.
