Help PLEASE!!!

[Alison]

Hi, I have a picture just one picture of my parents' children and grandchildren all together, but it is very over exposed in one corner. How do I correct this?

I will happily email the pic if you need to see what i mean.

Thanks

Alison

Hi Alison...perhaps if you post it on here it would give us a better idea...also, was it shot as a JPEG or in RAW?
Cheers
Mick.

I did try to upload it, but is too big a file apparenrly and as a complete blondie I have no idea how to change that!

It is a JPEG image if that helps.

Thanks again

The longest edge needs to be no more than 800 px

Depending on the software you have, look for a 'Resize for Web' or 'Image Size' option.

Utilise this option but MAKE SURE YOU 'SAVE AS....' so you don't resize the original and lose it.

[Alison]

woo hoo thanks x

A difficult picture... but here's a quick play... it needs more time spent on it plus there is tons of compression noise in the original... to stop it looking so bad I have resized the image smaller to give you a better idea on the screen... if you want the full size version, I can let you have it!

thank you so much...you are a star! :thanks: :drinks: I really just want something I can put in a frame for mum & dad. It's so rare to get the 6 of us together! Trust it to be MY son not looking tho lol:(x

A :stupid:

No worries... see who else has a go... the forum is full of some very good retouchers... the full size version is here, www.smcphotography.net/temp/UsLot.jpg but as I said, the compression noise looks worse now... its a sad thing that happens once you start trying to bring out colour/detail... maybe some else can do better!

[Alison]

thankls again...i had no idea if it could even be done....a friend suggested i try a forum, so I'm one happy bunny

Luckily for you you stumbled on the best forum on the www!!!!

[Alison]

[robbie-doux]

I'm by far from good at this, but I thougth maybe it would be easier if I took the backgound away?
Anyway, I've had a play...

I'm loadign the big file up to Flikr if you want to download it - When it's finished up-loading I'll edit this post and add the link http://flickr.com/photos/robbiedoux/2689943406/

I added a bit of contrast as it's pretty flat, haven't had time to really play about with it though. Waynehttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3234/2693401326_210d8849e6_o.jpg

[Blue72]

well I tried!!!

[BTS]

People are certainly queueing up to help, Alison:ok:

[Alison]

I know...I'm amazed at how kind everyone is :help: :grin:

[swanseamale47]

Anything for a damsel in distress..... now where did I put the suit of armour???:)

[Alison]

hehehe :swoon:

Just my luck the only knight for years and he is bloody miles away :banghead:

[swanseamale47]

If you think I'm walking all the way to Essex in a suit of armour .....

[Alison]

What no white horse???? :hissyfit:

What sort of knights do they have in Wales then?!! :tease: :rolleyes:

[zigleon]

Really difficult to work with this one......here is my attempt...

[Alison]

how do you guys do this? Im in awe ;-)

[flybybry]

And here's my little effort.
The ear on the top boy was cloned from the bottom left one and dad's forehead was also cloned from there at about 40%.

Like everyone has said quite difficult this one but it looks as though all have had fun "playing with the image."

[ZARGONE]

I suppose if you had another photo of your son you could do something like this.

[Alison]

OMG that is amazing! How do you do that? Or am I being a total blondie now? ;-)
