The Celebrity X-Ray Thread

Anyone want to give this a shot? Heather Childers had this sheer top on this morning.

 

Low quality video grab & not being braless won't yield much.

Oh my God! After 10 years I've finally been able to log in to this forum having found my old details written on a piece of paper! I just want to say THANK YOU to anyone who contributed to this thread. I only recently got up to date with the near 1000 pages. Looked at 'em all. You are doing Gods work haha! It's a shame it's quietened down from the old days and there's arguably other places to look for this kind of stuff now but there's no doubt this is where it all began. Don't let it die!!!!

If I could just make one request of you because somehow this girl has managed to keep her clothes on in this instagram age:

UFC ring girl Carly Baker

 

Taylor Swift (worth a go )

 

Selena Gomez (2016/03/08 Out in Paris)

 

Taylor Swift (this time ) ...



... hoping someone can get a little more detail?

 

Tia Carrere (Unknown Photoshoot, April 1987) 5200 x 2600 XRAY

Each file is minimally compressed, about 10MB each. From left to right, original and increasing levels of aggressive xray treatement.



Technical note: Since source pics are from 1987, the photographer likely used a high-end film scanner which shines a very bright back light to project the negative against a scanning device; while there are no moire artifacts, color bloom and intense saturation is evident. To get at the hidden details, we need to actually do something that is counter-intuitive ... reduce saturation!

• Split the original image into HLS planes (or better, HSB planes); save the saturation plane.
• After creating the usual masks for her dress, the monochromatic dress is overlayed and blended (averaged).
• The monochrome dress is then subjected to the usual 'multiply' method.
• Using the Saturation plane, Color from high values are combined from original while the rest are from the monochromatic dress shades.
• Keep blending until desired effect is attained.

Great work! ^^^

I've had that shoot on file for quite some time now. One of my faves.

 

I thought I remember seeing recent pictures of her, and she had gained A LOT of weight.
Back in the day, she was smoking hot. Babealicious.

 

Ellen Page can someone xray her nipples?

Yeah, tis true. Hawaiians' like their queens on the plump side.

 

Unfortunately none of those pics have viable data. Fortunately, some of the pics in original thread are good enough.

BTW, The nude rendering in the 2013 game (Beyond: Two Souls) seems quite accurate except for her recent weight gain; the 3D scans used to model her were probably real. The game designers should push the boundaries and try something like Japanese-style erotica, but uncensored

 

very nice work everyone, keep up the great work on those x-rays!!!

 

Great job! I wanted to try it out using PS. Is it possible using PS? Are you converting it to LAB? Is there a link to a site that explains all this for the average Joe? Anyway... thanks.

 

Yes we use PS (and GIMP too). The CIELAB color space is designed to include all perceivable colors and should prove useful. Personally, I find it overkill but do try it. As far as step-by-step procedures, only experience by trial-and-error will get you results; peruse this HUGE thread for tons of examples and instructables.

Amen! there is no single method that works for everything, and most images can't be done - all the elements have to be right, from the lighting, the clothing, angle, etc to get good results. More often than not, even on images that look promising to me I am disappointed, so I'm always looking for that gem in the celeb pics posted by others. Best way to learn is to try some of the pics that you see here yourself - this is why I always include the original images (and encourage others to do the same) so you can see what was started with, and hopefully try it themselves too. As far as methods, you just need to keep practicing, but basically X-rays are all manipulation of the light, contrast, and color to reveal more detail than is obvious in the original photo.

For beginners, I'd recommend only using Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation adjustments as they affect an entire area don't allow for local adjustments like the brush tools do (like burn & dodge), which can also lead to false looking images and details which may not actually be there. Using the BCS adjustments will also let you quickly learn how to bring out details, and how different tweaks are required depending on the lighting, and colors of clothing. Best way to learn is by trying it yourself, and don't get discouraged.
