The "how would you process this image?" thread

Probs doesn't help that subject isn't in focus

(mju ii and a shit scan as discussed)

If you can get the neg re-scanned I think a square crop with a bit of vignette kinda works. Puts her in the centre and makes the light less distracting

How would I edit this photo in Photoshop to get rid of the flare in the top left corner?
I presume with layers some how?

Alternatively any online resources for learning to use Photoshop? Comfortable enough using Lightroom but haven't really used Photoshop as such.

Just burn it in with a large soft brush or paste and copy sky from another image in there. Take out the chair while your at it.

I like the chair!

I’ve had a go at dropping the exposure on the top left corner of the wall and it didn’t quite work, I’ll have another go

DxO did this fair easily which reduces it. This was the ClearView filter and nothing else.

It might do better with the original photo as that would contain the EXIF for the lens used.

I'd like to create a square image from this composition

What is going to be the best way to extend the wall upwards, and table downwards? Having selecting the wall and desk in an attempt to delete and replace, I can assure you this does not work (albeit possibly because of my weak select skills).

cut the background out and fill with desired colours then extend?

Yeah I tried that, it didn't look right, the CDs appeared to be violently floating in space

Content aware fill?

Just realised this is 5 months old. I still tried, though.

@Tonts what a star, thank you! It looks great.

In the end I opted for removal of background, and created this thing...

Next lockdown project VHS sleeve wallpaper

Nice! Where do you get them made?

Cheers, I used zazzle for the printing, and they were decent. The first one they sent me was off centre so I complained, and they redid it for free letting me keep the wonky one (brother's birthday present)

Nailed it

Can the car be brightened up a bit without blowing out the sky in this image?

And if so, how?

Up Shadows and/or Blacks

Poor quality and done in 20 seconds on an ipad, but like so:

Thanks chaps. Will kept much more of the character in the sky but Phil's "quick and dirty" brought out the wheels, which was a large part of what I was after.
