lightscaping overlays

[Stacey Sedgman]

Hi Damien,

I've added a  "lightscaping" overlay to this in an effort to make it more punchy. File - place and then changed it to overlay, masked off baby. The balloons are also composite as the wind was terrible! Does it look overbaked?

You've got some seriously dodgy masking around the balloons, FYI.

I can see the white balloon top right Christina but where else?

I cut them out with the magnetic lasso, feathered and smoothed and cloned the background, Could that be what you mean?

I would try again with the balloons using layer masks as Damien discusses here:

This is a valiant effort.  But there's a bit too much obvious cloning repetition in the trees
