Justine83 Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 I didn't realize until I uploaded my images, just how short her skirt was. I'm not sure it's possible but maybe lengthening the shirt or extending the grass?
Damien Symonds Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Oh gosh, the pattern is going to make it difficult, that's for sure. Go ahead and do your raw processing as normal, then post again for me, including a closer crop of the area (I always feel seedy asking that!)
Justine83 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Posted September 20, 2016 Edited & cropped! Fingers crossed something can be done to save this.
Damien Symonds Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Oh gee, I beg you, PLEASE don't wait a moment longer to take the Raw Class. However, your job right away is to fix the catastrophic colour space problem. Follow this troubleshooter all the way to its conclusion. While you're doing that, I'm going to have a play with your photo and see what's possible for the fix.
Damien Symonds Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Ok, I've got a fix to show you for your consideration. Let me know when you've fixed the colour space problem, and we'll go ahead and start discussing her skirt.
Justine83 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Posted September 20, 2016 Ok! I've read and fixed it! I'll be signing up for the RAW class first thing tomorrow Looking forward to it!!
Damien Symonds Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 So I think your best (only) chance is to liquify the skirt down: Do you think it's plausible enough to get away with?
Justine83 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Posted September 20, 2016 WOW! It looks so much better! You are freaking amazing! How on earth do I create this effect?
Damien Symonds Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Ok, phew! Glad you like it. Have you used the Liquify function before?
Damien Symonds Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Ok, then this is going to be challenging for you. You'll find plenty of YouTube videos to teach you; I've recorded one here. Give me a minute and I'll upload the PSD file of my edit, I hope you'll be able to make some sense of it.
Damien Symonds Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Download the PSD file I began by duplicating the Background layer and doing the Liquifying on it. Then I added the mask and masked it on. Then I realised I needed some new shadowing, so I created the Hue/Sat layer below the Liquify layer for that purpose. Finally, I realised that some grass was crooked, so I added the Clone layer for that purpose. If some or all of that doesn't make sense, add The Layers & Masks Class to your list.
Justine83 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Posted September 20, 2016 Thanks so much Damien!! I really REALLY appreciate your help!! I'll give it a go after work this evening!
Justine83 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Posted September 20, 2016 I DID IT!! I signed up for the RAW Class Super Stoked!!! 1
