Hi Tania, I've just moved this into the Focus Checks section. Please include a 100% crop, ta.

Yes, the ground looks implausibly high.

Excellent! Then all is well. Don't worry about what other people may or may not be seeing, you can't control that.

Here's the PSD of my edit (sorry it's such a big file). First, I duplicated the Background layer ("Layer 1") and did the liquifying on it (with a big brush as I mentioned). It didn't matter that I stretched the girl out of shape a bit, because next, I added the mask and just masked where I needed. Then I went back and added a blank layer below the liquified layer, for cloning on.

I have a video here. The trick to Liquify in most cases - and certainly in this case - is to use a nice big brush. A brush that goes from the fat tree to the left of the girl, all the way to the thin tree to her right.

Gosh no, that's not necessary. In their frames is fine. You just need to check that your screen's calibration is still accurate to them.

Do you still have them?

A refurbished Mac, do you mean?

I've only done one half of the shirt here: First, the Channel Mixer layer as shown. Then a D&B layer clipped to the CM layer, for delicately painting any remaining stripes (where the moire was its absolute worst). Then an appropriate coloured Solid Color layer, on "Color" blend mode, to provide colour for the shirt again.

Do your pro lab prints match Photoshop? (And now Firefox?)

Gosh, I'm so sorry, I forgot to discuss that part. It's difficult to decide exactly the best course of action here. Do you think there's any chance you'll ever want/need the three photos separately, but with the identical backgrounds? If so, do the three separate files exactly as I have done, then merge them into one later. But if you're confident you'll only ever need them as one combined photo, merge them together first, then add the blue background on top. Around each head you'll need to use the various 'tricks' as shown in my files.

Great.

Just the top tool - the "Forward Warp Tool".

Yay! So, first I duplicated the Background layer, in order to use the Liquify filter. Using a big brush (as big as the eye and eyebrow area together, roughly) I massaged the eyebrow down to a nice shape, and a bit lower. As you can see, I ignored the weird wonkiness I was inflicting on the glasses - that doesn't matter a bit: Here's a screenshot of the mesh in Liquify, if it helps: Then I pressed OK to get out of Liquify. Then added a mask to the liquified layer, so that I could prevent the glasses being warped: Finally, a cloning layer to tidy up a few areas: Hope this helps.

Did you talk to the lab, @HP78?

@Rhonda Tjernlund?

Have you played with it some more? How's it going?

@kismet72?

@JessicaIacurto?

@katiemarie?

Did you try it?

Did Firefox solve the problem?

How did you go? Any luck?

How about this?

Oh yeah, fabulous work!!
