What Would You Do (#26)

[Nicole]

Well, we passed our first big milestone last week (#25), now let's keep going to see if we can keep this going to #50 and beyond.

This week we have a picture from Snapdragon. She said she was having difficulties with the harsh light and shadows, and wants to know how you would edit the picture.


Available larger

The rules are simple (arrrrr...). Edit the photo and come back here and show us your results and tell us how you got those results.

If you would like your picture to be the subject of one of these threads or if you have any questions, drop me a PM. If you want your photo to be used, please send me a link to the medium and large version. It's as simple as that. I'm always looking for more contributions, so don't be shy.

Now, what would ye (I mean, you) do!

I'm not so good at layering and masks and thats what this needs.
1. Duplicated layer
2. erased the background
3. selectivley cloned out the shadow on her face
4. burned areas that were super white
4. tried to lighten up the one mans face
5.brightened her teeth up (They really stand out now dont they!)
6. copied onto new background and cropped to fit
7. remove noise
8.

All I can see are the words "Available larger" without a hyperlink (and no red "x").

Can you tell me where the image is hosted so I can add the domain to my firewall (assuming my firewall is blocking the image)?

Thanks

Just click on the picture....

My firewall blocks picasaweb.google.com, hence no picture.

Sorted now.

Ok, I totally forgot to add the link to the words available larger. That's been fixed now. In case anyone else's firewall is blocking PicasaWeb, I've added the picture to a Flickr account and that one is available here for the duration of this WWYD.

Still so much to learn in post processing...I use photoimpact.
I used the lasso tool and selected the dark parts on the left pirates face. Then photo effects, color adjust, B&C4 x2.
Lasso tool on woman's face, photo effects, color adjust, B&C5. Lasso tool chose the white background, photo effect, lens filter, gradient filter 5. I cloned out the bar of shadow across all of the chests. I cloned and smudged the shadows on the woman's face to help even the tone. I believe that is what I would do.
