I pulled up this image and the background wall is giving me nightmares. The light source made a huge hot spot and then also produced banding to the left on the back wall and I have tried everything to fix it.
When I just try to replace the background, it looks so fake. Needless to say, I won't make this mistake next time in camera, but I need to fix this image somehow.
I'm attaching the image below - nothing else in the image has been edited yet because I wanted to start with that awful background.
