Overexposure on background
Hello, I took a picture of two kids and they are on the grass. The kids were in the shade but in the background the sun was shining so it looks overexposed. I did take the picture in camera raw and I have tried several techniques in Photoshop. I have Photoshop and Lightroom. Can someone give me some tips on how to adjust the highlights. I would love to give them the picture but I need to correct it first.

Bring exposure all the way down, play with sliders for exposure, lights, whites to bring that area down, then blend that raw conversion with the first raw conversion you like for the kids. -

My approach was to crop, get a good white balance on the children, paint the walk 50% grey add noise g-blur then motion blur the walk, heal a lot of the white spots in the trees, tone down the green and yellows a bit using Hue/sat layer

Well the glare from the road covered the edge of the sibs and the grass. I selected the sibs and worked on them separate from the background and lowered the highlights some.Comment

Hi,
I took this shot of my gf last night. I was playing with lightning setup and it was only a quick test shot.
My goal is to make entire background pure white and fix the chin.
I aproached this picture few times but could not get good results.
I will appreciate all advices....02-02-2009, 05:41 PM -
I had removed a picture from an old background into a new one. I had noticed that the person wearing the hat and jacket doesn't blend smoothly into the new background. It seems like the picture was pasted on top of the background instead of blending into the background. Can someone please tell me...04-19-2006, 10:59 PM

I think the problem should be obvious - is there any way to bring out the statues and/or de-emphasise the background? I should say that I had pretty much Hobson's choice in the positioning and timing of this shot - passing through early afternoon (harsh light) and not much...12-06-2006, 03:36 PM -
Hello
I took a picture of my son and have removed the background. Now I am placing a studio background in it. But the problem is that my son is sitting in the photo. How do I show that the half of the background is on the back and on half of it he is sitting.
I can put the shadow under...09-21-2009, 03:54 PM -
I was playing around with my new camera, taking self portraits and not paying much attention to detail thinking I probably wouldn't keep the end results anyway...
Then I took this picture, which I quite like, but the background is creased! So wondered if any one had any ideas how to salvage...02-12-2010, 03:36 PM
