I'm running on very slow farm internet at the moment, so I had to shrink the file quite a bit to get it up. Still, you'll get the idea. Download PSD

This is excellent.

@Stacey Sedgman?

Yes. Would you like to see the file?

No, that one was Gradient Map actually.

No

So sorry about the delay. Download PSD

Can you elaborate on your concerns about her hair? How is it different to the hair on the sample one you provided?

Is this anywhere close?

Come on, let's keep it legal. You can't just rip off somebody else's photo to use for your work.

Can you provide links to the page that the images are on, not to the images themselves, so that their owners get proper credit and traffic.

Are you still there, @Whiskers and Tails?

You have done a STAGGERINGLY good job, well done. If you could just fine a suitably-angled ear to borrow from another photo, this would be perfectly fine (for what it is).

How is this?

I'm worried about your white balance on this one. How sure are you of its accuracy?

There's really not much needed to make your photo into the other photo. Just some more saturation for the background, and less for the foreground. Download PSD Of course it's more effective on Natalie's photo, because she has some other colours (such as the blue fence) to work with. So please feel free to post some more photos of your own, with perhaps a bit more detail.

Yes, that's good now. Please don't let that happen again. I can't tell you how bad it is.

Whoa. Danger! Danger! We'll get to the editing, I promise. But first we have to fix a CATASTROPHIC problem with your file. Please follow this troubleshooter all the way to its conclusion, then post your photo again.

Please let me help. Did you find some examples?

Control Panel > Autoplay I think, anyway.

Download PSD I hope this is sufficient.

Yep, I think we should be able to manage this easily enough. Of course we would never do Photoshop work before the raw processing is done, so go ahead and do your raw editing, then post the photo again.

I'm going to tag @Brian to step in for the camera part of the discussion.

Please stop trying to upload through Bridge. Just put the card in your computer, open the folder (go to "My computer" if the folder doesn't open automatically) then copy the files safely to the correct folder on your hard drive. Don't overcomplicate life.
