I'm with Teresa, how did you do this? Obviously you layered two photographs, but how did you get the lighting to change on the child so that it was more golden. Beautiful work, Johannes. Gorgeous! #3199630Chastity Abbott August 22, 2006

Fantastic work and capture! Great portrait!!!! #3308349Karolyn R. Moltzan September 14, 2006
It's very convincing, except that I would also try to add a little bit of backlighting, since the sun is right behind her, you might see some real orange-ish glow on her hair coming from behind. #3308472Missy P September 14, 2006
I am just learning Photoshop CS2. How did you cut her out of the original picture? #3308737Ellery Samuels September 14, 2006

Thanks Mr Sammy.Missy, I use Primatte 2.0 chromakey, a plugin for photoshop.In order to maximize the extraction, the subject has to be shot against the bluescreen or greenscreen. You can see the tutorial here:

If you want to try to extract manually in photoshop, see some tutorials here:

JO ANN CLEVELAND November 24, 2006
Everything you do is outstanding! You are most gracious to share, I am sure it is time consuming but the results are awesome!Johannes Kornelius November 25, 2006
Thanks Jo for your kind comments. The editing will be easier with the help of certain chormakey or masking plugin. The most time consuming is creating a new digital background. Once it is ready for use, to compose a new photo and enhance will take about 30-60 minutes. #3629306Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
