Lauren hardy photography Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I need to add more to the left side. Was thinking I could take from the right side? Thanks! The first photo is the one i want add too. I gave you another picture with the other side in the photo if that helps.
Damien Symonds Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I can see why you prefer the little girl in the first photo. But is there a reason you prefer the big girl in the first photo? She looks nice in both to me. 1
Lauren hardy photography Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Hi Damien, it actually has nothing to do with either girl. What I don't like about either image is the subject is cut off. What I was trying to ask is how I can add more of the image to the left side of the first image. I gave the second image so that perhaps you could pull from that same side and add it to the first image. Does that make sense? Sorry, perhaps I didn't explain it well and perhaps I'm still not haha. Let me know if you know what I mean.
Damien Symonds Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 You explained it perfectly. I understand exactly what you want. Please answer my question. Do you mind which version of the older girl we use?
Lauren hardy photography Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 No she looks great in both, as you said! I do not mind which version we use.
Damien Symonds Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Great. So in that case, I think your best chance is to use the left side of the second photo (including the bigger girl) and the right side of the first photo (including the smaller girl) and have the blend between them.
Damien Symonds Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Have you read through the Layers & Masks Class yet?
Lauren hardy photography Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Yes I have. Is it a matter of just adding the image and masking off? Do i need to make my canvass size larger first?
Damien Symonds Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 That's right. Open the first image and extend the canvas size to the left. Add more than you think you'll need. Then File>Place the second image. Then lower its opacity and fiddle with it until it lines up as best you can. Then mask.
Lauren hardy photography Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 hmmm. OK I did try that before I posted here. Let me try it again.
Damien Symonds Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 The only complicating factor is the little bit of missing wing on the right side of the big girl. I had to borrow some other bits of wing to recreate the missing areas here:
Samantha LaRue Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Can you please check your colorspace as well? The top photo looks very green/grey to me. http://www.damiensymonds.com.au/art_tscs000.html
Lauren hardy photography Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Damn you are good. I Just bought a macbook air so I was uploading from there in bed and the settings weren't changed yet. Thank you for the reminder, all done now. I am having a hard time lining these images up so that when I mask, I am not masking off the other stuff. I am going to keep trying now.
Lauren hardy photography Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 How far over should I be masking off?
Lauren hardy photography Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 it seems I am having the most trouble where the two dresses meet in the bottom. I can do it perfect, in this image I cloned a bit where they meet.
