cathm Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 I am struggling... could you please show me one of the images how you would add the second gradient layer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Sure! You'll need to give me the photo without your first gradient layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Here are with and without the level adjustment (background). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Let me put together the images that i am trying to match with here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I don't understand. Why do you need to change the background at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 I guess not so much with the mom+baby one. Does the level edit look consistant with other images? But this one, there is a horizontal like around the parents' head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 sorry to jump back and forth but i added color balance layer. what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Gee, it's pretty haloey around her. But still, you might get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Well, I still don't understand why you did anything. It looked fine before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 I made the image darker but i don't see what you see... Could you please explain ? 1 minute ago, Damien Symonds said: Well, I still don't understand why you did anything. It looked fine before.

I reckon just broadly mask the gradient layer out towards the right-hand side, so the gradient blends seamlessly with the existing backdrop.

Damien Symonds Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Ok, can you show me a screenshot of that image, with its layers panel visible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathm Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 I would still like to learn how to add gradient blends seamlessly with the existing backdrop later, but I've decided to add textures for these 4 family portraits. Please let me know what you think. I also adjusted color balance to match the color tone of the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
