Unedited Images


Clark Gable
Used lasso and quick selection to remove bg, soft round paint brush in multiple colors to fix the watermark on the leg, duplicated the person then used transofrm- distort to the shape their shadow would be. Once in place in the layer blending mode I choose Subtract and set opacity to 50%, Adding a clipping layer to clark gable I edited levels to better blend in with the setting. Since Clark Gable had more harsh lighting I used the burn tool to soften the spots of lighting on him, Used paint brush to fix harsh shadows on clarks face and clothes. Selected Clark Gables outfit and used Match color to change the begie color to more of a brown with the source being the brown from the allayway. Then doing the same with his hair so it wasnt a harsh black with bright shadows. Used forward warp tool to fix the very pinched in waist of Clark Gable to have more of square/natural waistline.

Billie Piper
Used quick select- subject- inverse to remove bg, Use lasso on billie piper to select the area that simons arm covers, masks so that now it looks like simons arm is behind billie duplicated the person then used transofrm- distort to the shape their shadow would be. Once in place in the layer blending mode I choose Subtract and set opacity to 50%, Edited exposure and used burn tool, Billies jacket was too bright so used the lasso tool to select the jacket and do the hue/satutation adjustment to make it a darker more rich blue. Desaurate using sponge tool in some spots.
