Can someone help with this picture please?
This is probably the best photo our wedding photographer managed to get of our daughter but I just dont think its right, seems a little dark to me.

Unfortunately my photoshop skills aren't as good as some people on here so any help would be appreciated, I would like to get it on a canvas and I think if it went on as it is it wouldn't look right.

It is on my flickr account if anyone wants a full res copy.

Cheers

Cheers Shutterman, thats excellent.

Thats the image size that we were given, I thought it was quite small too. He used a canon 20D too so I am guessing the images he provided on CD are not the full res pictures taken? Charged me £200 for the disk too.

And yeah we had a great day thanks, got married in Cyprus and it was fantastic. So glad we chose to go away now instead of staying at home and worrying if the day was going to suit the whole family instead of just us!!

Hi Rog

I just ran it through cs3 using my retouch workflow.. and applied a level of blur and used mask.. then smoothed the skin tones slightly and sharpened eyes and lips...

Me thinks I need to learn all about CS3 too....Some of the edits I have been shown are quality, just wish I could do something similar myself :D

Thanks, can't remember how I did it though, still learning on PS:LOL:

I know what you mean, devil incarnate at times and then butter wouldn't melt:bang:
 
dont know my copyright law, but how do you stand altering copyrighted images? did you buy the copyright off him or just the rights to use the image unedited/edited??

i take it the actual tog isnt a member here as well:shrug:

dont want to cause a prob, but would hate for something to kick off
 
Oh dear oh dear. Flash way down low, harsh shadows and worst of all that catchlight right in the middle of the eye is very gimlet like and unflattering. That catchlight could do with moving to around the 11 o'clock position..

However, Fletch raises a very valid point - unless the OP has purchased the copyright then there's a breach of copyright here in copying and altering this shot. Please let us know ASAP what the situation is with the copyright on this image, and no further edits please folks till we know what the situation is.

No problem, to be expected I suppose on a photography forum. One day it might be one of my images being played with and I would hope someone would say the same to them too.

Cheers
