No, you're not crazy. It's definitely a giant arm.

Ok, no worries. Well, I guess you'll have to duplicate the Background layer, convert it to a smart object, then use Edit>Transform>Warp to shrink the bottom of the photo.

First, have you tried the Lens Correction tab in raw?

Thank you for the payment. I sent you the file, did you receive it?

No, those are the files you sent me. I just replied to your email. At the top of my reply is the payment link. Once you pay, I'll send you the files.

Did the email come through ok?

Yes, you use it a lot because you don't know how to use layers and masks, by your own admission. CS6 is an excellent program. YOU are the weakness. Spending money unnecessarily on new software won't make YOU better. Invest in YOU.

I'll email you the payment link.

DO NOT GET CC. I can't stress this enough.

I can't put this any more plainly, Annie. Lightroom is shit. Do not use it now, and DEFINITELY do not pay to use it in the future.

I addressed all of that. Read my replies again.

No, absolutely not. I already brightened it to match the leg to which it is attached. To brighten it further would look very silly. If you sign up for the Bridge Class right now, I'll send you the photo for free. Yes I will. I simply added the foot to the black jpeg file you sent me. I haven't changed its size at all.

Wonderful! Then you don't need to pay anything! Just install Bridge (it came with your Photoshop, or you can get it for free from the Adobe website) and you're ready to go. DO NOT PAY $9.95 PER MONTH!!!!!

How does this look?

Which version of Photoshop do you have at the moment?

Thanks. I have to go out for an hour or so, I'll take a look at them as soon as I get back.

You can send me the black background file as well. Yes, if you're not familiar with layers and masks, I'm sure it did!

For now, do this: https://havecamerawilltravel.com/lightroom/find-location-hard-drive/

This is EXACTLY why you need to ditch Lightroom. It's the worst program in the world.

Raws, if you have them. Did you shoot raw?

I won't be able to tell you that until you send me the files. https://spaces.hightail.com/uplink/BellePhotography Make sure you send me the original, NOT the one you applied Topaz to.

It's time to begin your journey out of the Lightroom entrapment. https://www.damiensymonds.net/bridge-class/

Not much. Maybe about $10.

This is a very simple matter of layers and masking. Are you familiar with those? I can do it for you if you don't want to do it yourself. It's what I do.

Hi @annie1, does it matter than the foot in the second photo is cut off? Won't that look odd?
