ok, but dies what i did look ok?

how does this look? would i lighten the right hand side afterwards using levels?

yes i like that better ! can you please show me how to achieve this look?

i do have this other picture of the set up without the people to see the floor but taken at different angle so not sure if it is much use?

that looks really good! i was trying to copy the bit of the floorboard from the left over to the right and blend it up into the backdrop but it wasn't really working for me

Hi Damien - can you please help me with extending the backdrop in this photo? My studio is quite small so there were so many shadows on the backdrop - i tried using the gradient tool to smooth it out but was disaster - i also tried a solid colour layer and masked in the subjects - but it just looked too fake - can you help please? (note there are a couple of head swaps and elbow added for the boy on the right in the attached photo)

Woohooo! thank you!

Hi Damien - had another go at this - what do you think?

No, i want to have no hat on the picture with baby's chin on his arms - is this possible? my attempt was very poor!

ok i tried, but its not great - the right arm where the head is lying is difficult for me to edit out and also to try to extend the wrap over to the head (in the original picture the hat is in front of the wrap

Hello, can you please tell me if it is possible to make the below picture of the baby with the hat on to one with no hat? i have attached other pictures of the baby with no hat on in the same set up but from different angles.. all pics SOOR (the one with the hat on was done via the raw class) Thanks!

ha ha thanks for the re-visit! i will try this tomorrow as it is late here now and i think this will require a lot of concentration and a clear head!! thank you!

ya i like that one better - what is the best way to do this?

ya that looks better - did you use liquify?

oh i know that - i don't think she used it but i have seen before and after of other photographers who have used it and Kelly's pictures are always perfect so i wanted to show that as an example of what i was trying to achieve if possible - i know i should have achieved the look on the day but obviously the baby had other ideas so was just wondering if i could make the baby "curvier" without it looking too fake (sorry for the long post)

ok sorry about that - here is the link

Hi damien - is it possible to use puppet warp / liquify to bring the babies head and bum upwards to a more curved position like the photo below from kelly brown? i tried to use puppet warp but the baby ended up looking disfigured!

finding this really difficult - how does this look?

Hi Damien, what is the best way to clone out the umbilical cord in the below pic (SOOR from raw class) - i tried it but not very successful

here is the head swap using the SOOR pics - how does it look?

This is my first attempt at doing a head swap - i have attached both images SOOR (note: the SOOR images are still being discussed in RAW class but i wanted to try the head swap to try) thanks!

great thanks!

is this the best i could do with smoothing out this background do you think? still looks a bit bumpy to me?

no i dont :-( the reflection is in all the eyes!!

Hi Damien - what is the best way to remove my reflection from the baby's eye? 100% crop below
