I see, 35% post-work in PS....then i'm out.
I hoped, that there are any "magic" settings (beside the bitch lightning) in DAZ which would make it happen, that renders look like photographs like your pictures.....unfortunately this is not the case.
So either i live with the results i get from DAZ or i additionally start learning PS.
there are tutorials on YouTube. But if you want a hint, i can give you a big one. DM me, i will send you LUT files for photo effects it will be very useful for you.

Never done any postwork on any of my renders. I always use 100% DAZ settings. You can get some really nice results with just DAZ, just need to learn how to use it.

This may not be the greatest example out there, but this is a render I done that I really liked, all DAZ, no postwork...

its not about render settings, you can get such renders with default render settings so its more about lighting and post work of the render.

it does look like in the viewport. So for me 65% is rendering in daz, 35% is post-work in Photoshop.

I think even in viewport it is quite nice. What assets are you using for skin? Is it a high resolution texture? And the tattoos are LIE or baked into skin previously? If you don't mind asking, what sort of post work are you talking about here?

its standard genesis 8 female skin from the market. I added tattoos myself with Photo editor. Post work generally is like improving details, working on colors, light and shadows of the render, i use Adobe Photoshop to do.

Likewise.

I just use PS to remove any fireflies if I can't do that with DAZ or resizing, Spot Render pasting and add my signature.
Even if I spot some poke-through, I usually fix it in DAZ even if I also fix it with PS.
Although, I posted 1 render in this thread that I edited heavily (for me anyway) in PS because I couldn't get all the elements right.

Not to dunk on those that are amazing with their PS skills, I know there are things you just can't do in DAZ.

I just like to see direct results, maybe also post extra angles, maybe see the result and think I need to add something to the scene. I don't want to set up a scene in DAZ that I KNOW needs lots of work and then try to do it in PS.
Maybe it's laziness, but that's just me.
