Description

Busy original background made selecting tough on this one. I used the lasso tool to get close to the edges then the magnetic lasso. I was having control issues so I selected what I could, inverted the selection and deleted it. This meant I had to go around with the eraser and clean the edges (yuk), reselect with the magic wand when I finished and selected edge refinement and softened and feathered. No edge detail with this selection method.

I added a cloudy sky photo, posterized it, resized and arranged it behind the witches masks.

Other adjustments:
-adjustment layer to decrease blue
- copied layer x3 and erased little witch on top & bottom layers, then arranged in pattern
- desaturated red in sleeves using magic wand and levels
- dodged apples, child's face and a small area of background between apples and child's face.
- cropped

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.


 

The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.

You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
