  1. Ah yes. Hold on, I'll upload an Elements version ... Elements-friendly PSD file
  2. Whatever you think is the path of least resistance.
  3. I'll need you to either ... Provide a different photo of your own that has the sun in it, like the example photo; or Provide a different example photo with the sun behind you, like your photo.

  5. Hi Sarah, nothing looks out of the ordinary on my screen. Is your screen calibrated?
  6. Ahem ... yeah, maybe.
  7. Oh my God, that thread is catastrophic.
  8. Clone the seams, I guess.
  9. Have you made your noise pattern? The link to do so is in the article.
  10. Gee, it looks really good to me!
  11. Yes, that's looking promising so far.
  12. Oh gee, 29GB is miniscule. That's going to be a problem, I reckon. You need to clear some space. Brian has said that a hard drive needs to have 1/3rd free space.
  13. Is there a particular style you're going for? I mean, what's taking the time?
  14. No, DEFINITELY not. It's gradients. https://www.damiensymonds.net/preventing-banding-in-backdrops/
  15. Oh yeah, it'll be the easier one, eh?
  16. I can't open rar files. Please just upload it normally.
  17. For.the.love.of.God.can.you.show.me.what.you're.working.on.
  18. When you're masking the end result around a subject. But you're not doing that in this case, right? You're just creating a whole fake wall?
  19. I trust you've read this, and watched the video? https://www.damiensymonds.net/preventing-banding-in-backdrops/
  20. Definitely DON'T use gradients on the masks. The masks must remain all white. Use as many gradient layers as you need. Maybe you'll wish to put them on a blend mode, such as "Multiply" or "Screen", but in some cases "Normal" mode will be fine. Make sure you make good use of transparency in the gradients. I want to help you more, I really do, but I need to see what you have in mind. DO NOT USE MASKS. I can't stress this enough.
  21. I need more context. What are you trying to create, exactly?
