Fixing wedding photos

[Phoebe]

Hi 

Am I just wondering if you can fix wedding photos with photoshop?

I’m not happy with my hair on the wedding photos because of the wind my fringe  was damaged and my face was sweaty in some photos because was very hot, the photos were taken by professional 

Thanks

[Damien Symonds]

Hi @Phoebe, may I see one or two of the problem photos?

[Phoebe]

[Phoebe]

and this one before my hair got damage 

  

[Damien Symonds]

Oh boy, this'll be hard.

What's the closest view you have of the good hair?  I mean, do you have any head-and-shoulders portraits of yourself with your hair just the way you like it?

[Phoebe]

I would like my hair to be like the last photo I sent it to you

[Damien Symonds]

Yes I know, but your hair isn't big enough in that photo.  I want to see the photo where your good hair is the biggest available.

[Phoebe]

the only two I found, hopefully will help 

[Damien Symonds]

Ok, yes, we might be able to make the first one work for us.

Now, can you check and confirm that you have the rights to edit these photos?

[Phoebe]

Hi Damien 

Yes, I checked already before 

[Damien Symonds]

Is this what you had in mind?  It's the best I can manage.

[Phoebe]

? awesome, yes and my face is sweaty is it possible to fix it too? 

I have a few need to fix, can you please let me know how much will cost and how I send them? 

Thank u so much 

[Damien Symonds]

I'm afraid I'm too busy to take on any new editing work for a couple of weeks.  Are you sure you wouldn't like to try it yourself?  What's your level of Photoshop experience?

[Phoebe]

My level of photoshop experience actually is zero, I tried to learn photoshop to fix the photos but I couldn't.

If it possible you tell me how and I'll try if I can't could you please fix them when you are not busy? 

[Damien Symonds]

Oh.  Yeah, if you don't have a base level of Photoshop knowledge, these fixes might be beyond you.  They're not technically too difficult, but they do assume a working knowledge of layers and masks.

Anyway, you can download this file and open in Photoshop:  Download file here

See if you can understand it.

Otherwise, give me a couple of weeks, I guess.  The edits shouldn't be more than $10-15 each.  Add a few more dollars if there are things like sweaty skin to fix.

[Phoebe]

I couldn’t understand what u sent and don’t Know how to use the photoshop at all ?but I want to learn how to edit photos. I’ll wait till a couple of weeks. 

Thank u so much 

[Damien Symonds]

Ok.  Send me all the photos that need fixing, as well as some "good hair" ones that I can use, via this page: https://spaces.hightail.com/uplink/BellePhotography
