Beachbum Posted October 12, 2018 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!
Damien Symonds Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Hi @Beachbum, what about the wrap around the baby? Is it to be navy as well?

Totally doesn’t matter to me! Whatever looks the nicest is fine :) 12 minutes ago, Damien Symonds said: Hi @Beachbum, what about the wrap around the baby? Is it to be navy as well?
Damien Symonds Posted October 12, 2018 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 Posted October 12, 2018 No, that's not right. It's still dreadfully dark.

Beachbum Posted October 12, 2018 Author 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.
Beachbum Posted October 12, 2018 Author Posted October 12, 2018 This better? I typically wouldn't go brighter than this.

Damien Symonds Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Thank you. And which lab do you use for your prints?
Damien Symonds Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Terrific! Good lab. So, is your monitor calibrated following my instructions here? The Spyder's own instructions are woeful.
Beachbum Posted October 12, 2018 Author 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 ?
Damien Symonds Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Right. I fear that your screen is too bright, you see.
Beachbum Posted October 14, 2018 Author Posted October 14, 2018 Okay, here you go. This is with the updated calibration.
Damien Symonds Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Is this what you had in mind, @Beachbum?
Beachbum Posted October 15, 2018 Author Posted October 15, 2018 Can you go a little bit more midnight blue style navy with it, by chance?
Damien Symonds Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 More information? Can you show me the colour you'd like?
Beachbum Posted October 15, 2018 Author Posted October 15, 2018 That is absolutely perfect! I cannot thank you enough!!
Damien Symonds Posted October 15, 2018 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.
