How Would U Edit This? - DPChallenge Forums

I just finished my 3rd Wedding this past saturday. It was at a local wedding chapel where the bride was told her and her groom would have thier own "dressing rooms" well the grroms dressing room was the mens bathroom and the brides room was basicly the chapels storage/office/playroom/and meeting room where this photo was taken. wasnt much room at all in there and the walls were horriable as u can see. Im curious as to how dpc would edit this one. I have my edited version on another site and Ive had a few comments. they are saying that the bride will want to see a real photo of the moment. Ill be showing her this one (after it get a basic edit)and my "special" edit one with the bg removed. this one is the unedited version. just sharpen and resize were done. I can email anyone the full size version that asks for it..have fun!

so please show me how you would edit this then I will show what I did to it and see what we come up with.
Thanks a ton...cher.

Don't know what editing software you have but I know you can do it in photoshp CS2. I would extract the couple from the not so great background and place them against another background. Or you somehow gaussian blur the a lot so the couple pops even more. If no one else has come up with a better solution when I get home tonight I will see what I can do. I know there are more experience people than my self so I am sure you will have solution shortly. Good luck.

That was my first thought when I saw the room!

Thanks becky...doesnt look like many people are jumping at the chance to help. I have photoshop 7.0 (aka virtual caveman) and I did change the BG in another version but I dont want to show it till I see what the "masters" come up with.

I figured slippy and ART would be the firsts to post thier awesome (but funny) edits...*hint hint*

If you want a program that works great at removing things from backgrounds, check out Fluid Mask by Vertus Tech. works very very well.

duplicate the layer, put it on 'soft light', lower the opacity and the saturation a bit and go from there.

The darn boss has been wandering around too much, so I've been pretending to do actual work. :-(
