♥ Turning a beautiful shot ruined by nasty zoo windows..
Into something just beautiful :).......or me trying.
What I'll be using:
Photoshop Cs3 extended
A MOUSE (dies)
And lots of determination.
Here is our lovely picture to start off:
I have no particular area's I want to start off with, but I'm intensely bothered by the body of the Jag. So I'm going to take the healing brush, pick a clean piece of the body and work on making it work with the rest of the body.
Then use the healing brush and move over problem spots, like the white areas from the mirror and dust and dirt that covered the Jag's coat.
You should end up with something like this:
Next, we're going to do the same thing to the bark.
Until we get something like..
Okay for now, I'm done with the healing brush and instead im going to work my way up to the Image tab, go down to Adjustments and click on Brightness/Contrast.
I'm going to up the Brightness: +20 and Contrast: +100 .
Then I used the Burn tool at 49% and had the range set to Shadows.
Clearly I am bad at tutorials, as I am all over the place. ANYWAYS, moving forward. Onto this baby's, beautiful face.
I used the burn tool at 49% and 25% on the face and the dodge tool around the eyes and highlights.
The final thing i need to work on....THOSE EYES. I have to go, so i'll just show the end result :D
I'm happy.
Oh Happy Birthday to me!! :)
