5 x Image Enhancement / Background changes $Neg

[marcpandafoto]

Hi - first time poster here, finally gave up trying to do it myself. I shot some images of a friend for a self-published album and website - I'm doing it for nothing myself, just Portfolio. I'm reasonably happy with the shots but wanted to alter the backgrounds -although I have basic CS4 experience I'm not good enough to be able to do it to a good standard. I only shot this as a fine Jpeg not as RAW unfortunately.

I'm basing my stuff on this Mariah Carey Album 'The Emancipation of Mimi (not my style of music but heh :o)


Here's an example of 1 of the images - they either have a white or black colorama background. I'm pretty open to ideas, I quite like the idea of having smoke or lights swirling round the girl too, and/or moody skys

Please email me for examples - I can't post links, although if you check 'pandafoto' on flickr you can see the pictures.

Cheers
Marc

not sure what Background changes $Neg is ...........whats that mean?

[marcpandafoto]

Ah sorry, I meant a negotiable rate. For the background changes I mean the images are just on a white or black background, I want the subject superimposed.

[iDad]

Nice Job hawkeye
I like the work on the background, it really helps to "pop up" the subject in the photo

Thanks, Hawkeye, for taking the time for to do some work on the image. I really like the metallic glow on the model, it works really well. I think I would like the curve of the colorama backdrop to be taken out to mask the fact it was shot in a studio. I like the background effect but I think I prefer to lose the colours and make it monochrome. Please PM me if you would like to see the other images and discuss further.

Cheers
Marc
