Enhancing Baby Pic - How To Get From Before To After Images

Hi, just joined up as I'm stumped on how to get the most out of a picture I'm editing.

The photo is of my boy and a design company used this on my website but I now want to use the same image on a leaflet so need it at the original high res and with the top of his head (it was cropped off in the site)

I've done the cut out and some touching up but don't know how to get the brightness the same, particularly his bright blue eyes.

Would be really grateful if someone could give me some tips on how to do this please. I use CS6 if that makes any difference.

My image:


And I'd like to get it looking like this:



Many thanks

Dan

Only problem is i cant seem to keep the high quality resolution . Ive included both images .. the "moonshine" collage is what id like to minimize.

Image Edit Request! (free) For My Stepbrothers Birthday.

Hi!

I read the guidelines for requesting a free image edit request but please excuse me if this is the wrong forum (?).

I have a photo I'd love to photoshop a pair of strangers OUT of. My stepbrother and I just did an incredible hike at Zion National Park, and I'd love to blow up the picture and frame it for his birthday. The problem is the strangers in the pic are very distracting (in my opinion) and take away from the main focus of the image. Therefore I'd like to request help in removing the strangers (the 2 people on the left, in the orange and blue shirt).


Typically I would love instructions on how to do this myself, but unfortunately I don't have Adobe Photoshop and my image editing skills are very limited (to Picasa, hehe). Therefore if anybody would like to help me photoshop this image, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

I understand a request like this can take a lot of time and effort so I will completely understand if I receive no offers. I thought I would try! This image is originally in RAW format and I had to compress it for this post, but please let me know if/how I can send the original file (I have a flickr account too). If you need any other images (I have quite a few of the same shot from a slightly different angle) please let me know.

Thanks and hope to hear from some of you soon!

Kind regards!

Doge Edit Request (fallout / Doge)

Alright, so I run a page on Facebook devote to the franchise, Fallout. I stumbled upon this picture and thought that it was an amazing idea. However, the photo is choppy and very poor quality. I was wondering if anyone was up to the challenge to attempt to create a better quality photo for me.

My page has 4.3K likes. So your work will be seen. I'll obviously credit you for it. By request, if someone wants to see the page, I'll post it in the comments. I'm not trying to advertise it, just seeing if anyone was willing to give this a go.

The idea of the photo is to 'shop doge's head onto dogmeats body, while keeping the same colors as dogmeat. It might be a very easy job, but as I'm a big noob with photoshop, I can't figure it out. I can handle the text.

Let me know, thanks for reading.

Here's the image for you to use:

Why Can't I Get Colour?

Hi folks,

I've grabbed a free graphic online I want to use on my site, I've made it RGB under 'image -> mode' but when I go 'image -> adjustments -> hugh/saturation' OR '... color ballance' neither has any effect? What am I missing?

My image is at present light grey and I want to give it a blue shade whilst retaining all the darker and lighter gradient effects of the original image if you catch my drift, but nothing works, it just stays grey and it's really bugging me now.

Thanks in advance. Especially as I'm sure it's something obvious. Let me know if you need more info!

Cheers.

Edit Request Or Instructions Please

This an image of myself. I have been trying to make it an overall better photo but I'm failing miserably. I know the background is a bit distracting, but I need help. I need this photo for my website, so I need it to look more like a professional portrait. Maybe some makeup, remove the background to something less noisy, sharpen it a bit, basically make it look like a model. Is that even possible? lol The reason I need to use this photo is it is the only one I have of myself with hair extensions in. My website is for hair extensions, so I feel this image is necessary. I do not currently have them in and do not want to put them back in for one picture. They are too long lasting for that.
Can anyone help me please? If not, can someone give me detailed instructions to do so in photoshop elements 9? Thank you!!

Changing The Colour Of A Train

Hi All

I am reasonably new to photoshop but am wanting to get a lot better! I am quite interested in being able to change the colours/livery of objects in photos most notably trains due to this being one of my main interests.

I have an image of a train and I want to edit the livery but keep an element of realism.so It doesn't just look drawn like a cartoon. I have made an attempt at this but I am not massively happy with the results. I have uploaded both a copy of the original image and a copy of my amended image. My main problem is the lack of realism, because I am trying to go from a very light colour to quite a dark blue I seem to lose a lot of the detail from the original image.

I have also uploaded an image of the sort of thing I would like to achieve. The person who has done this makes a really good job of them and I would love to be able to achieve similar results.

The way I have created my image is simply but creating adjustment layers for hue and saturation and levels and played with the settings until I get something like.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can make a better attempt at changing to colour so it retains an element of realism?

Thanks In advance.

Help Editing A Photo

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if someone could please help me out. I do not have Photoshop, so I just downloaded GIMP tonight. I am beginning to learn the ropes but would really like a photo edited in the mean time.

There is an annoying pipe in the 2 attached photos that I would like to be removed, if possible. If anyone can spare a few minutes to remove it that would be awesome. Also, the lion in the first picture doesn't seem to be as rich in color and/or in focus as he is in the second picture, so if a certain effect (the picture seems "whiter" than the 2nd, so maybe it's too bright?) can be used to help him stand out that would be great. I trust your opinions/suggestions, so if you want to mess around with it and add certain things please do. I'm sure these two edits are very basic (item removal and sharpening/adding color to an image), so I hope to learn how to do it in GIMP within the next few days.

Thanks so much

Printing Photos - Too Much Cropping

Using PS CC. I have set a photo to an image size of 4x6. I am uploading to an online photo printing service to purchase multiple copies of the photo on 4x6 glossy paper. I've tried both Costco Photo and Shutterfly but the cropping that is required cuts into the people shown on the photo. I tried increasing the print size to 5x7 but it cropped even more. If I use my own printer, I can reduce the photo to fit the paper size. This option is not available online. I tried reducing the image size to 5x3, but that doesn't work either. How do I format my photo to eliminate so much cropping with these online services? Thanks for any help you can give me. I've been using Photoshop for several years and have gone to two classes. Unfortunately, I only use it a few times a year so it's almost always like being a newb! Anne

Automation - Macros

Hi,

I have many images that I would like to crop, the cropping will be all the same for all images, 24 pixels will be cropped from the bottom, 131 pixels will be cropped from the top and 19 pixels will be cropped from the left, is it possible to create a marco or maybe that will automatically repeat this process for me, without having to do the cropping for each image which is currently takes time going through the same process.

Thank you

Determing The Extent To Which Photoshop Has Been Used In Editing An Image

A proposal has been made at my camera club that: 'Entries (images) must be 80% the original work of the entrant for club competitions. The proposal goes on to say that the 80% is for when Photoshop or other software is used to edit images in producing snow or other 'effects'. I don't believe you can determine the extent to which image editing software has been used let alone detemine a percentage for it. Would anybody like to comment?
