Sudio model for contest winning price eos 500D

[andrecb]

this are 2 of many shots I take on a workshop where a load of other photographers went too heheh, so no one could take pictures strait, everyone was pushing etch other.
so now I have to send 2 photographs...


EDIT: Dont really know but aparently windrider86 is saying that there is something wrong, I guess i dont have the process of editing, or maybe its for having 2 photographs, but I think its worse If i open 2 threats 1 for each photo or maybe are the originals below, I'll remove them anyway and leave only the link...

process: I crop,
remove the laptop,
and soften the background

Before


After






And

EDIT:

Process: lighten the image levels.

- removed background outside of the studio, By cloning, with the clone tool that is used for cloning, within the photoshop, so I select the clone tool then Alt+click studio background, and start cloning with clone tool that is used for cloning, in the places outside background of the studio.

, removed the shadows by the same process of cloning with the clone tool described above. Alt+click studio background with no shadow, start cloning(...) in the places where the shadow was


See second image HERE



What do you think??

If you have any other idea I'll post below the originals

Many thanks

Fixed, I think

You can always run a series on your shoots with 2 photos in each one.
It would also be wonderful if you could describe more in detail how you "fixed" your photos. Ie; how did you remove the shadows? How did you remove the background?

I saw it look a bit different from the rest after wondering why you had cut off so much from the bottom.
I see the blurry person is in the way nd then read your stuff. i confirmed you cloned.

I suggest using the PATCH tool. this will automatically help you out with cloning in a better way. it will blend things for you. and will not give you those reoccurring dark spots that i noticed.

Using the Patch tool will allow you to source from one spot, the size that you selected.
So where that peice is you cloned out is, circle around it with the patch tool. (after cloning it) and then click inside the circular selection (holding) and then drag it to where you want it to clone from. Some parts you can not patch up right away.

but I have been photoshopping a lot more, cause I am using it a lot at school for class, and notice myself using that took the most in model retouching.
Its fast, effective, automatic but not poor. it works great!

and if you get a part that is not fitting in, its not blending and looking how you want it.
add a layer mask. and use the brush tool to draw in the back ground. bring it up. use a soft brush of size of your choice. and here you go!
