Don't you think we should at least try and see how it looks with the nearer line gone?

Oh, wait, yes I do. But no, that wouldn't look realistic at all. It would be too chopped-off.

Well, that makes us square, because I don't know what you mean by this either, sorry:

Gosh, well done! I agree that the lighting works better at the RHS, but it's no biggie - go with where they want. The question I have is, have you sufficiently damaged the digital photo to match the quality of the scan? May I see a 100% crop?

Well ... duh. That's why I said:

Something like this?

Not at all. Do exactly the same.

I'm sorry I'm so dense. I don't get it. Can you circle what you want removed?

No, the answer is a yes. You have to get the white balance consistent.

I'm staring at this trying to figure out what I'm seeing. The right-hand line (further from camera) is probably the real one, isn't it?

Oh gee, this won't be easy. Which line do you want to remove?

This is not a crooked problem. You weren't square to the row of people. You should have moved to your right a bit. So I figure you'll have to distort the perspective and hope for the best:

It doesn't matter where the sun was. Her clothing and headband should have been exactly the same colour in your raw edits.

You rocked it!!!

500 does seem a bit big.

That doesn't say 100%?

No it's not. May I see a screenshot of your whole screen?

No, I'm so sorry. I don't have a way to lighten them

No you don't. Your statement implies the assumption that your in-camera white balance is correct. But that is a false assumption in the majority of cases.

After that, you could add a Solid Color layer on Soft Light mode, masked very carefully to the nail, and make it any colour you wish.

Hi Ellie, may I have a closeup of them?

This is the easiest: But if that's too skin-coloured, let me know and we can talk about other options.

Change it to what?

Everyone reports this. It's completely irrelevant, don't worry about it.
