lsin Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hi Damien - can you please help me with extending the backdrop in this photo? My studio is quite small so there were so many shadows on the backdrop - i tried using the gradient tool to smooth it out but was disaster - i also tried a solid colour layer and masked in the subjects - but it just looked too fake - can you help please? (note there are a couple of head swaps and elbow added for the boy on the right in the attached photo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 How about this? I'm not fond of the bottom right-hand corner. Really it should have baseboard there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsin Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 that looks really good! i was trying to copy the bit of the floorboard from the left over to the right and blend it up into the backdrop but it wasn't really working for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsin Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 i do have this other picture of the set up without the people to see the floor but taken at different angle so not sure if it is much use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 As usual, it's this method. Download PSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 No, if you want it lighter, use a lighter gradient in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
