Ah, I see. I'm afraid there are no quick tricks for this. You'll have to patiently use Levels to darken the too-light sections one at a time. Then after that is done, do a "Stamp visible layer" (Ctrl Alt Shift E) on top of all the other layers, then edit out the remaining lines with clone or maybe some content aware fill.

You just need a very very faint orange Solid Color layer on "Multiply" blend mode, I reckon.

Is the pink and green due to some kind of clever lighting?

Which version of Photoshop do you have?

You've forgotten the fundamentals like "Never work in Adobe RGB", so you should ask yourself how much else you've forgotten.

Darn

If you try to upload them here, do you get the same message?

Oh no

That sounds awfully small. It might be bad news. Can you email a couple of them to me? info@damiensymonds.net

@gelz, talk to me about your screen. In what way does it differ from your prints?

@Kellie W are you still there?

Hi @Kellie W, what file size does it say that they are? In either MB or KB?

Great.

Offer her another shoot. She's gorgeous, so she'll look great in your portfolio anyway.

Yeah, sorry. It's gotta go. She should never have seen it. https://www.damiensymonds.net/dont-show-it/

From my testing, Edge seems to be fairly colour-accurate, if that's what you mean.

I would say Module 2 of the Layer & Masks Class, Module 4 of the Raw Class, and the first few slides of Module 6 of the Levels Class.

Yep.

This is the best I can suggest.

Hmmm .... maybe it would be better to actually set up a table with a dark tablecloth on it, take a photo, then try to put the dog on it?

Sorry, I don't have a technique for that You'll just have to do your best with Photoshop's stupid "Select and Mask" feature.

No, hang on. You posted to ask me about my "replace background" tutorial, but now it seems like you're saying you won't be replacing the background at all?

Ta. And what background are you putting in there instead?

I'm good, but I'm not psychic. I'll need to see the photo.

You'll find a few different ones if you type "gradient" in the search bar. https://www.damiensymonds.net/tutorials.html
