Jenjill123 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I am having trouble blending this photo into the background to make it more realistic. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Oh, difficult one. May I see the couple photo with its original background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenjill123 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 No it is psd so I guess that ends that, unless it can e converted somehow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjill123 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 I converted it - is this ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 No, sorry, I meant the original photo of the couple. Was it a shot in raw format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjill123 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 Unfortunately no. (Phone, I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Hey, don't give up so easily! We can still do this. Which version of Photoshop do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjill123 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 CC20 No rush to answer backs I have to go out (darn it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Great! Then the first step when you open the couple photo in Photoshop should be to go to Filter>Camera Raw, and do your "raw" processing there. The file won't respond as well as if it was an actual raw file of course, but you can fix the white balance and make some other adjustments. Then post it for me.

Damien Symonds Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 By the way, what are the pixel dimensions of the couple photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjill123 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 Here is a screen shot as to where I am. It's not letting me open filter/camera raw. Sorry to be so frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Ah, don't worry, that's easy peasy. You just need to go to Edit>Convert to profile. Choose sRGBiec blah blah blah as the Destination space. THEN you should be able to do the Camera Raw filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjill123 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 Fantastic! Now to the editing and I will get back to you in the morning! I would have never figured that out myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjill123 Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Here we go! I have saved it as png. Is that correct? Maybe their faces are little too yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenjill123 Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Haha, I'll have another go!! I did auto on raw filter and they faded into nothing! So I messed around too much!😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjill123 Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Here we go again! Thanks for your patience! 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 No, I promise, the Camera Raw filter allows you to edit this jpeg photo in roughly the same way you'd edit a raw file. Follow the procedure from the Raw Class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjill123 Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 OK. I have signed up for the RAW Class. Do you mind if I continue with this one still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
