"Missy" by moonlight.

Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 2 July 2012 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

The background was created in Photoshop using the Digital Film Tools plug-in "Light".
The foreground was lifted from the original using Photoshop's new masking technique, before I changed the colour of the T-shirt from pink to blue.

Ooh! Didn't that masking work so well! I mean look at her hair! Normally so difficult to get a crisp mask on hair and feathers etc. Are you on CS6?

@CElliottUK: I wish.........no still on CS5.

k@ from Paris, France

Oops, is it me or the skin turned "too much" here ? Great for the hair, background, t-shirt play with PS, but for the face, maybe a more natural no-mask stuff (cause it looks like a little bit as a plastic mask for me here) would fit the cutie's features better ? Just my opinion.

2 Jul 2012 11:42am

@k@: Hmm........yeah......I understand your concerns. Here's a small copy of the original for comparison.

tataray from france, France

Joli travail, mais la couleur de peau un peu bizarre !...

Thanks Curly, yes it's as if she had a lifting, just a lil'too young i guessed ;) But just a matter of taste, the most important is if you are pleased with the result*
