At long last I’ve finished the updates to Sherry B.’s page. I’ve created an entire new page for her, so let me know how you think that works.
Some of the shots were underexposed, which revealed magnificent blue gradients in the sky, but left Sherry’s image too dark to discern details. I didn’t want to lose the composition, though, so I used a variation of the Zone System to try to remedy these.
– First, I pasted a copy of the entire photo as a new layer.
– Then I tweaked the histogram of the new layer so that her skin tone appeared more natural.
– Finally, I masked the new layer, then edited the mask to allow the tweaked layer to peek through on the original background.
Tracing such a precise outline with a mouse was tedious but I think the results are wonderful.
