Damien Symonds Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Now it's time for you to tell me what you don't like about it, exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Shadowing, I guess? There should be shadowing on the backdrop, behind the chair. That's easy enough. Just add a Hue/Saturation layer above the new background layer, and clip it thereto. Then lower the Lightness slider to about -50, and maybe increase the Saturation a bit. That will darken the whole wall, of course, so then you invert the mask. Then with a 10% white brush, paint on shadowing where you want it.

Robynmcgrath Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Might be lack of shadows but also i think that the backdrop is maybe a lot more sharp than some parts of the back of the chair and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robynmcgrath Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 And I have to do it all over again because my noise removal i did a month ago looks awful. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, that's easy to fix, just blur it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robynmcgrath Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 And before I go any further I do want to take this pic into raw and have everything double checked. I'm already dreading having to redo all the masking I did last night.....I don't want to have to do this again on this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Gaussian Blur will work fine. 28 minutes ago, Robynmcgrath said: And before I go any further I do want to take this pic into raw and have everything double checked.

You won't have to redo the masking, don't worry. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/10/replacing-raw-edit-in-psd.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robynmcgrath Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 So I am picking this one back up Does this look okay with the amount of blur I put on the background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Yep, I think that looks plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
