  1. This is something I've always struggled with, I must admit. They're hard to enhance, aren't they? This is the best I can manage. Better than nothing?
  2. For the record, this is incredibly difficult. Don't assume that you suck just because you can't make it look amazing. I can't either. As it happens, I think you've done really well. I just think there should be more on his leg right up under the bend in her knee.
  3. Great! Now add a D&B layer and work on burning some artistic shadowing where needed.
  4. If you turn that layer off and on a few more times, you'll see a spot you missed on her skirt. Also, blend the sand above his leg a bit more gently.
  5. There's still an edge on the sand, at the bottom.
  6. I agree, but finish your masking first.
  7. Gee, I think it has potential!
  8. @Kingdrea?
  9. Gosh, yeah, maybe!
  10. I don't see anything there that will help, I fear I don't know what to do
  11. To be honest, I don't think you'll find it satisfactory. I never have - it's hard to read. It's better to have all-black text with a white stroke around it; or all-white text with a black stroke around it.
  12. Oh gosh. Do you have any other photos, from which you could borrow more of her skirt to stretch it down over her knees?
  13. I think what you want is to make the text all white, then put its layer blend mode on "Difference".
  14. How did you go?
  15. There are two stages to this. First, in raw, you can partially reduce it by doing this. Once you've done that to the best that Lightroom can manage, post a 100% crop for me and we'll talk about the Photoshop steps.
  16. No, it's a Levels Class question, actually.
  17. Yes, 1050 isn't a Facebook size. For the very best results, use 960px PNG files, or 2048 JPEG files, for Facebook.
  18. I doubt it. It'll probably mess with your logo size and position.
  19. That's right. But that's slowing everyone down.
  20. If you make your web images 1050px, instead of your outrageous 2188, your website will run faster.
  21. While you're at it, turn off the "Show Transform Controls" one as well, if you like. That thing irritates me. (But I know some people love it)
  22. Oh!!! I can't see it in your video, but I bet you have the bloody "Auto Select Layer" checkbox checked in the Options Bar for your Move Tool! Yep, I just glimpsed it. That's the problem.
  23. Great!!! That will make your website load a LOT faster.
