I had a play, but I don't think it's as good as yours:

You're very fortunate, because there's no fabric texture visible. That makes this a relatively simply process. How does this look?

If it was my image, I'd do it this way.

Gosh, what you've done looks almost perfect! Except that it's not really wide enough, is it?

Emailed you the renewal link.

Did you find any examples that match your photos better?

Well?

What?? You have to mask it, of course!!!

Are you in the Levels Class?

Hi Tammy, let's go back to the start. Can you show me the SOOR? That is, the original photo with the raw edits done, but no Photoshop work. And remember, NO CROPPING, ever. Also, I encourage you to do this.

It goes in whichever direction you choose. Change the angle setting to whatever you want.

That's odd. Can you try again now? Make sure you resize for web first, of course.

No, you have to use the other photo which has more left foot showing, to prevent the VERY fat right ankle you've got there.

Did you go all the way through?

And is the behaviour exactly the same with both?

Oh yeah, Auto is fine.

No Tania, you're missing the point. The Color Settings aren't the important part. Are they all opening with sRGB down the bottom?

See? Now follow the troubleshooter to fix the problem.

Perfect. No comment required. Now, open a raw file again, and go through the troubleshooter again.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Color Settings MUST be on "North America General Purpose 2".

It's a really hard one. Take your time.

Show me a screenshot.

Alas, you can't really get away with that, can you? Mum's micro-thumb is a giveaway, and the weirdness at her armpit.
