    It's not difficult, per se, but it's definitely not quick.
  2. Damien Symonds
    Would this be passable?
  3. Damien Symonds
    Not as such. I'm happy to help, but I'll need you to post the actual photo, rather than a screenshot.
  4. Damien Symonds
    Looks fabulous, well done. Just to check, you haven't cropped your PSD, have you?
  5. Damien Symonds
    What Brian means is that a Lightroom catalogue with no photos in it is best
  6. Damien Symonds
    I was a latecomer to Spyders. I only started at 4.
  7. Damien Symonds
    I never had Spyder 3 instructions, sorry.
  8. Damien Symonds
    No, sorry, black is not feasible. Very dark brown, or very dark grey, would be the best we could manage. Would she settle for that?
  9. Damien Symonds
    You won't know until you try, I guess ...
  10. Damien Symonds
    As long as you nail the shallow depth of field, the editing is easy enough.

    Download the PSD

    Notwithstanding all of that, how does this look?
  13. Damien Symonds
    Before we start, I need to know that you are aware of the two differences that will make a significant difference between your photo and hers: Hers has leading lines going towards a logical area of light in the background. Yours does not. Yours has lots of light area (snow) at the bottom of the photo, which hers does not. As such, your photo can never have the same "feel" as hers.

    May we see the outcome?
  15. Damien Symonds
    No it's not, look at the how the light is falling on her face. In particular, look at the camera-left side of the mouth in Lisa's photo and in yours. I would say that Lisa is using a much bigger light source that you are, but you would need to seek advice from a photographer about that. All I know is that the angle of your light is too far around to the side.
  16. Damien Symonds
    Great, then that's the one I'd use for the working files.
  17. Damien Symonds
    Take your photos again. Lighting lighting lighting. This is primarily not an editing matter.

    Is the Seagate internal?
  19. Damien Symonds
    No, Bethany is in the Standard class.
  20. Damien Symonds
    No, you're doing too much! You're pushing it too far.
  21. Damien Symonds
    Did you find this one?

    Then I recommend a bit of gentle cloning to reduce the remaining crease in the skin:

    That gets you to here:

    Then you can nudge up the pudgy part using as big a brush as you need, and only the pudgy part gets moved:
