This is possibly the most difficult image I have had to adjust. I'm at a loss. The shadows are killing me. The colors are all over the place. Grey in kid's face. Ugh.

Re: Seriously Don't Know Where to Begin
A quick application of Dan Margulis' Picture Postcard Workflow yielded the following result.
A slight color correction (too much blue overall, but mainly in the shadows, too much red in the highlights), a strong Shadows-Highlights ("Bigger Hammer") to lighten the shadows, color boost while masking the skin tone, and some masked curves to balance the left and right parts of the background.Comment

Re: Seriously Don't Know Where to Begin
Well I just worked on the boy. I made a new layer and used apply image to bring the red channel of the background layer to the new layer. It appeared that the red channel was the best channel to use. Then using standard black and white brushes I corrected the luminosity part of the image. When I was done I turned the blend mode of that layer to luminosity which brings back the color. From there I worked on a new layer in color blending mode.Comment

1. Targeted curves adjustment,
2. selective color adjustment and
3. Targeted dodge using another curves adjustmentComment

I think I posted this question in the wrong section. Where would I begin on this image to remove the green leaves covering my brother-in-law?

I would appreciate knowing where to start on this photo obviously taken under a tree. I have tried some things for the shadows on the faces which turned out not too bad. But, I still have a Lot to Learn about PhotoShop CS2. Then I wondered about the other shadows like on the clothing and actually how...06-13-2008, 06:15 PM -
So, nothing new here, but just working on a project for someone...

Like in the recent Celine ads etc:

I'm working on a session of photos and one of the boys hates the sun so we turned everyone and I have shadows to deal with.
I've tried playing with curves and some highlight and shadows stuff and can't seem to make this look quite right. Any ideas??...08-01-2010, 05:12 PM -
Hey,
I usually work with film. But my friend needed head shots, so I went ahead and did them digitally. She was late so we couldn't work inside cause my windows are south east facing and the sun was on the other side of the house. So we braved the cold and went outside. Between rushing...01-09-2010, 11:50 PM
