Karamarie Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Hi Damien, first off I follow your content and very much enjoy it and learn so much. I am no longer doing professional photography but I did take my extended family photos this fall. I shot most with a tripod and handed my camera off to someone to take photos of my immediate family and she did a terrible job. Using the photos I took I am trying to make a composite of myself, my husband, and 3 children, from 4 different images and I am not 100% confident in Photoshop. I would love for you to have a look at the photo generally but also can you guide me on how to edit around our feet so it looks natural? I am struggling to get it right and would like to get this photo off my to-do list. Any feedback is welcomed and help would be appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 May I see the four different photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karamarie Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 Sorry, 4 was a mistake. It was two photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karamarie Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 I do have many more photos of the children but they looked best in the image I chose and putting posing together that seemed natural was my goal. Let me know if you want to see more of the session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 You have to do the raw processing FIRST, before you start any Photoshop work! Why did you make the merge so complicated? Why not just put the two of you on the right of the kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karamarie Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 I first did the raw processing - are you noticing coloring that looks incorrect on your end? In regards to making it complicated, in my mind, it seemed more natural and balanced in regards to posing to split the children up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karamarie Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 I think I need to recalibrate - I will dig the thing out and get it done. Is it a problem if it takes me a few days to get back to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
