Kim Howells Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hi Damo. Another one where I am playing with a background. I have tried a few methods but am finding it hard to get an acceptable result. Any ideas? (100% crop attached, background as shot is grey, new one is varying shades of brown). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Make sure you always embed the image profile, whenever saving an image for upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Howells Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 EEK! Thank you, I didn't know that was unchecked, I hate to think how many images I may have uploaded without it checked. How did you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I downloaded it, of course. I think I've got a plan. Could you post the 100% crop of the photo with the grey background; and a 100% crop of the background filling the frame, no mask. So I can layer them for myself.

Kim Howells Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Ahh, I see. I just opened the file without the profile embedded, and see the #. Here are the 100% crops (1200px instead of 700) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Download the PSD I used the red channel as the starting point, because it had the best contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Howells Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 I really need to spend some time learning about channel mixer, I think, it still baffles me somewhat. Thanks, will have a go myself shortly, and post the finished pic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
