Good morning. Ready to play "Strip a Bitch" for the next two hours.
Rules -- Post your picts; I will try to xray them in the order posted. For the most part, I will post my results, regardless of how good they are. If I don't get a result. I will explain what I think my problem was and whether I think someone else might get a better result.
No underaged subjects. I will skip any obvious underaged subjects. Please post age. If no face, I will skip. Faceless pictures are boring and may be underaged. I also don't do asses. If I have done the shot before (or if I recognize it as posted too often), I will probably skip. I also don’t like cropped picts, or close-ups that are effectively crops, and may skip.
Tell me who she is to you. I may skip if you don't. I will put in extra effort in some cases if you do.
I use multiple methods. I start with colour and contrast filters, rather than the normal level method. If that doesn't work, I will try curves (rather than levels) with colour shift to match skintone for light or white clothes and sharpening/blending. I sometimes use an exposure/colour shift method for black or dark clothes. I use unsharpen mask and highpass filtering rather than burn to bring out detail, although I do use a light burn/dodge to bring out nipple colour as a finishing touch. I also use blurs, both at the start, to even out noise, and at the end as a finisher.
If my ordinary method does not work, I will use other, more advanced methods before giving up, including work with inverts and channels.
My method works better with dark clothes (especially black) then it does with white clothes. Also, there are a lot of rayers who do white, and do white exclusively and very well. For that reason, I may skip white clothes just because my time is limited here.
Some rules. Shadows and light gradients are a problem. Dark clothes require brighter light (otherwise no data); and light clothes require more dim light (otherwise they are washed out). Layers and glossy fabric are serious problems. The key here is that light penetrates through clothes, to skin, and then gets reflected back. To get at this colour data, first the light has to penetrate (layers and glossiness interfere with that -- and swimsuits are often both layered and glossy).
The picture is manipulated to remove colour levels associated with clothes, leaving a very faint and often low quality image of bare skin, which can then be enriched through filters that duplicate and fill in pixel patterns. This is why patterned fabric, stripes, shadows, and colour gradients are a problem. In such cases, you can't just remove some colour levels to reach a few that show skin and not much else.
I an get her left nip, but the light is too bright on the right and it is washed out. Result looks quite bad. Glare is terrible for white and light colours.
Swimsuits are often problematic because they are glossy and layered. This means that you can't get a good colour contrast beneath them to show an areola.
Not enough detail.
Shadow and light gradient is too much of a contrast. Light colours require even light with little shadow.
Reds and oranges (and sometimes yellows) are particularly difficult -- and can't be done at all with traditional level method. I have no method that can get through this colour.
Former co-worker of mine, real tiny little thing and she always wore deep neck t-shirts to show off the chest tat. Hoping for a deeper dive to actually see what's underneath
Not really working. That flecking creates a colour contrast that is difficult to work with and presents isolation of a colour level associated with skin only.
Glossiness, layers, and that terrible shadow contrast. I'm getting basically nothing.

Friend of mine...everyone who's tried has said it can't be done because of the Snapchat filter, but it seems like with your other work if anyone can get anything out of this it's you.
Former classmate of mine (I think she's 21-22 in this pic) and the the only one I have that I'm fairly certain she's not wearing a bra. She once told me half jokingly that she had her nips pierced, I wanna see if she was yanking my chain
This girl is my best friend's sister, known her for a long time, she's one of the hottest girls I know and doesn't know I exist. Work your magic, user.
Thank you so much man!! You're an expert in your craft! Her name is Anastasia and omg thank you so much. Idk if you wouldn't do it but here's another one of her if you can! Thanks!! She's 19 btw lol. Same girl.
Uneven lighting and glare and ruffles and wireline in just the wrong place make this unworkable.
Tried a couple methods. Uneven light did not work for normal level method. Using colour channels seemed more promising, but I couldn't get a minimally workable image.

Classmate from uni. 19 I believe. Always stare at her tiny tits in class. Pls op??
