Basically I just LOVE the picture below, but the lack of sky, white bushes, and washed out skin ruins it for me:( Anyone have any photoshop tricks up their sleeve to fix the problem? I already realize the multitude of errors we made taking it, but it was a silly moment and now I hope it can be fixed because we love the expressions:) thanks guys! I hope it's possible.

http://img349.imageshack.us/img349/9837/amyandjason063dl.jpgSo what is the verdict ElectricHarmony? which one do you like the best?You can't put in what aint there. You obviously exposed for the two people, who were in the shade. You probably should have either used a fill-in flash or a reflector to brighten the subject, then the exposure would have balanced with the background [sky]. Your only way out now is to superimpose a sky with Photoshop into the original shot. Good luck.
I know, I'm kickin' myself now:( The problem is we were 100 feet in the air on a rickity old SkyFari;)Here is a quick attempt with a masked illusion. I left the one spot above her head brighter so not to look too fake because of the bright sunspot on her hair..perhaps tomorrow when I am more awake I can spend more time on it LOL

Goodness that's a pretty sky! Thank you mommyof4boys:mrgreen:This would be my take on it:

for you in the morning and send it through. Philip.Here is a quick attempt with a masked illusion. I left the one spot above her head brighter so not to look too fake because of the bright sunspot on her hair..perhaps tomorrow when I am more awake I can spend more time on it LOL

As promised, I did another image for you, probably shot during your recent visit to the finest city in the world. Not the best match, tone and lighting wise, but I thought interesting. Philip.
Wow! We're on a honeymoon in Aussie:lovey: *a girl can pretend* That is so cool. I can't wait to show my boyfriend, I think he'll love it! :) Thanks again for the awesome edits Phillip. :DWow! Even some clouds!:biggrin: Duncanp is my new best friend :boogie:

Used some cloud brushes made from pics of real clouds and the Gradient toolReplacing the sky in a scene like this imho, looks very fake. I don't think you need to.

Just needed color balancing, some contrast, and a slight vignette, I think.You can't put in what aint there. You obviously exposed for the two people, who were in the shade. You probably should have either used a fill-in flash or a reflector to brighten the subject, then the exposure would have balanced with the background [sky]. Your only way out now is to superimpose a sky with Photoshop into the original shot. Good luck.Since I had PS open, I though I'd try a quick edit. Rather than mess with the background, I cropped in close. I think it makes for a more intimate image anyway.
http://photogs.net/tpf/amyandjason063dl-mod.jpgdo you want someone to have a go at editing it for you or do you want some tips and ideas on how you could make it better?
Off the top of my head i would say that you could add a little contrast and saturation, maybe cut and paste you and your boyfriend on to a different, more pleasing back ground (without making it look tacky that is)
to be honest though i think it looks ok as is, for a snap shophttp://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h171/pweird2002/amyandjason063dl.jpg
This I hope will work, I just did a quick retouch [took about a minute], but if the image I did goes through, I'm a genius, although only an amateur one. It will be the first time I've been able to transfer an image.

Good ideas! I'll try, but it sounds advanced lolhttp://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h171/pweird2002/amyandjason063dl.jpg

Wow you did a great job, and I love this shade of blue! Thank you :hugs:ElectricHarmony, I moved your question about what to do to rescue this photo (nice one! :D) to the Photoshop Challenges in the Photo Themes. Someone might come up with an idea and show you their edit. Be warned: some edits might also just be fun edits, so maybe you also get results that are to be taken with a grain (or two even) of salt ;). Let's see what happens, hm?Since I had PS open, I though I'd try a quick edit. Rather than mess with the background, I cropped in close. I think it makes for a more intimate image anyway.

http://www.jeridjohnson.com/temp/smooch.jpgPhilip, I just helped you be the genius you have always wanted to be :biggrin: - (just a little).
When linking pics from Photobucket to here, go to the third line, the one that already has the [ IMG]...[ /IMG] wraps around the photo URL, and if that is pasted in here, your photo will show right away.
And I do like your work on this photo!ElectricHarmony, I moved your question about what to do to rescue this photo (nice one! :D) to the Photoshop Challenges in the Photo Themes.
