Beachbum Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hi, everyone! I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to either edit, or help me edit, this photo. It needs to have a navy background. My client and I had a total miscommunication, and she wanted this image on a navy background... I thought she said cream was okay, but she was talking about something else. I'm desperate.. my usual photoshop skills don't include this. Don't judge me by this awful pose... it was the end of the session when she asked for this specific pose, baby wasn't having it, and I just had to work with what I got. I also didn't edit anything on it yet either, so I'll get there too Thanks for helping me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hi @Beachbum, what about the wrap around the baby? Is it to be navy as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Ok, that's good. It will almost certainly be easier to make the wrap blue as well. I think it's ok to make this change as our first step in Photoshop. So go ahead and do your raw processing on this photo, then post it again for me.

Damien Symonds Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 No, that's not right. It's still dreadfully dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Haha how bright would you like it? I'm not typically a bright editor. That is pretty much how I'd edit it if I were leaving the background as is...

Beachbum Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Actually, my monitor's brightness is all the way up. Maybe it is a tad dark. Let me turn it down and up the exposure on the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 This better? I typically wouldn't go brighter than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Thank you. And which lab do you use for your prints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 ProDPI, typically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Terrific! Good lab. So, is your monitor calibrated following my instructions here? The Spyder's own instructions are woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Aah, it is not. When I get home, I will follow your instructions and do it that way. I always do it via the Spyder instructions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Right. I fear that your screen is too bright, you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Well, don't thank me too enthusiastically too soon. This won't be an easy job at all. Add a Solid Color layer of this colour: R64 G82 B125 Then set that layer to "Linear Burn" blend mode. Then start masking. Very very very carefully.
