Please help PP

[razad]

Hey Everyone,

As seen in a previous post, I took this picture at a recent photoshoot. The client liked it very much, and wants me to PP it for her so that she can frame it. Please help!!



Thank you all so much!

dont know why they would want any post done to it....
do they want it a dramatic obvious job or just clean and natural?

[razad]

hmm yeah thats a good point, I think they just wanted any improvements to the image done. If you think that it's as good as it gets, then I guess thats what I can give them

for example...u were saying the dark blankets are distracting...can you photoshop those out of me?

sure can make it dreamier and what not...give me a sec. i sure others will do the same...

Have you tried jsut flipping it to B&W? That would take away some of the distractions from the colors...but I think it's a beautiful photo the way you've posted it here.

Here's the B&W. I actually like it...



Thanks for the suggestion!!

hope you dont mind,but i had a tinker with your lovely photo. i brought some detail back from the white sheet above there heads, it seemed a little blown to me. i also cropped a little form the top, as the top right was a little distracting to. i did two versions. the first was as above with reds turned down. to my eyes the skin tone was a little unatural, then i ran a smart sharpen.
the second was the same as above,but with a softer look.

sorry if i offened your feelings with my adjustments
regards carl

I love your photo as is & can see why they want to frame it , the only thing I can see it is a little strong in color & is sharp , usualy a good thing but for this subject , soffening it a tad gives it a bit more of a dreamy feel that can portray the emotion of the moment . All I did was auto contrast 1 lighter , & uses water color set at 1 to soffen . Hope you don't mind . again it is a lovely photo as is

Great Help! and thanks so much for your suggestions. Of course you didn't offend me, why do you think i posted it up here

Thanks again, and any new idea's welcome.

PS- To carl and snapdragon...if I decide that I want the edit done to the actual picture, would you mind if i sent you the original sized attachment and you could edit for me? Thanks!
