Backdrop extension and trying to save the hair

[Betbet02]

Hi there, wondering if you could help persevere the hair and extend the white backdrop? Thanks!!!  I can quite get it right.

Only if you have another photo (or photos) where the hair is against white, so you can do a swap. It can't be done in this photo alone.

[Betbet02]

I figured. Will this work?

[Damien Symonds]

Examine both photos closely.  Is the focus exactly the same on the hair?  We can't replace sharp hair with blurry hair, or vice versa.

[Betbet02]

Ahhhhhh, I see. This one is blurry. I will look for a better replacement.   Thank you.

I have uploaded the 1st picture because I forgot I did work to the hair, here it is SOOR.

How did you go searching for a suitable donor image?

[Betbet02]

Well I thought I posted another suitable donor image but I don't see it on here.. What about this one?

[Damien Symonds]

Yeah, that might work!  Have you given it a try?

[Betbet02]

Yes, this was the best I got and I hate it! 

 

[Betbet02]

Well I don't hate it, but I feel it could be better.

Once you fix all the masking it'll be ok.  But leave some more shadow on the wall at the left side.  It doesn't need to be so bright.

[Betbet02]

Got it!! Ill go back and fix it. I always struggle with shadows. Off topic. I got an email from you about the raw class, I paid and you refunded me but I don't know why. 

[Betbet02]

Actually I see why, but I was trying to get in the deluxe class.

If you were in the old raw class on Facebook, you are automatically in the deluxe class here.

[Damien Symonds]

No, Bethany is in the Standard class.
