Post Processing Game

Have a good trip!

Processed entirely in PL5 except the first which also employed Portrait Pro 21.

First attempt with the beach scene
1. Soft-pedal tyonemapping with SNS-HDR
2.Change Canvas format and minor adjustments in Photoshop

Now some layer masking to change the background. I find the choice of background image the difficult part - please tell me which is the most successful

Nice cut and paste but she needs a shadow Martin. My favorite is number 3, the lack of shadow is less noticeable since no shadows are visible in the background.

On your first attempt in the previous post, she looks very sunburned.

Yes, #3 is my favourite too. BTW, I included her original shadow in the original layer.

And the sunburn was deliberate - but perhaps I over did it. Hope she does not suffer tomorrow!

I'd recommend color correcting all the composites, without it she clearly looks cut an paste. Couple different ways (probably 100) to do it, but I create a duplicate stamped layer and then Average blur it. Put a mask on that layer of just her and put it in soft light mode and then dial in the opacity to your liking.

That sounds like as good plan/ Many thanks

That came out very nice. Relight has been hit and miss for me, but seems to have worked well here. Cheers,
