JoC Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hi Damien, I'm trying to change this patch of blue behind the child's hair in this photo to match the rest of the background nearby. Trying unsuccessfully ?. How would you go about this? Thanks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Tricky one! May I see the two original photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoC Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Original meaning the camera image, or with raw edits done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Oh, sorry, with the raw edits done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 No, not a silly question at all! It was silly of me not to clarify. Thanks for asking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Ok, it's not easy! Download PSD The "Layer 1" is the equivalent of your new foliage layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoC Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Cool...I was playing with channel mixer and levels but couldn't get there. The Layer 1 you mention - did you bring over a piece of foliage from the original photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Yeah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoC Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 I did it! It's not perfect but good enough, I think. Thanks for the psd. Can you share your reasoning behind doing the channel mixer layer and making the channel 100% red? Would love to know your thought process there.

Damien Symonds Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 That was the channel with the most contrast against the hair. Your edit looks great, well done. Nobody will give that area a second glance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoC Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Ah ok. I looked at the different channels when I was trying to fix it on my own but I was on the wrong track comparing the blue to the background, not the hair. Thanks for the help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
