Download the PSD file

Well, it was done using this method. This one is also relevant. Give me a minute while I upload the PSD for you.

Also, right-click on a layer in the Layers Panel and choose a thumbnail size. Presently it's set to "No thumbnail".

Oh yeah, that's terrific. Even better. It shouldn't have been necessary to mask at all, or at least not very much. Can you show me the texture file?

Yes, that's fine.

I've generally found that the safest way to handle this is to replace the sky altogether. This is a fake sky, what do you think?

Oh, this is SO difficult, isn't it?

I don't know, you haven't showed me the focus yet. http://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/09/grabbing-700x700px-100-crop.html

No no no no no. Definitely no need for that. What blend mode did you choose for the texture layer?

Oh gosh, this is tough. Do you think this would be satisfactory to her?

Aluminium would be the same as prints. For canvas, you can go bigger, but I wouldn't take a 5.2MP crop to 20x30.

Try this ... a Channel Mixer layer with "Monochrome" checked, with these values: 0/+50/0. Then change the blend mode to Soft Light. Then mask to the stomach.

Can you update your profile information? This is really weird. Is it exactly in the middle? I mean, exactly the same width border around each edge?

Like this?

I wasn't aware that applied to raw files?

Were you following these instructions exactly?

I don't understand. What did you need to do with this area?

It's got this little thing for calibration, right? http://www.eizoglobal.com/products/coloredge/cg247/CG247_built-in-sensor.jpg

There is no secret or trick to this. You simply use this method, a lot of patience, and a tiny tiny brush. You literally have to cut one hair at a time.

No, a desktop screen you can plug into it.

Oh gee Ephee, you might have a much bigger problem here. Please do this immediately.

Hi gc, could you please go to your profile page and fix your email address? Thanks. This is happening because you have your Photoshop Color Settings ALL wrong. http://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/02/please-ignore-your-monitor-profile.html They need to be set to "North America General Purpose 2". http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html

Oh, tricky one. May I see the SOOR?

No, sorry. You'll need to use 2012 with it.
