Photoshop Gurus: Touching Up a Senior Picture

We were recently visiting the upper penninsula of Michigan when we took some impromptu senior pictures for myself. They turned out pretty good, but there are a few issues. Here is one example:

Large Shot
Cropped Shot

Obviously the shot needs to somehow be brightened up in the right places (shadow over the side of my face, etc.) - and I have very little photoshop talent. So I was curious as to what you ATOT photoshop gurus can come up with.


Thanks guys!
 
Photoshop can't help you either.... 😛




j/k got no time at the moment but try picasa and their "enhance" function 🙂
 
do you want the whole shot or the cropped version? i mean do you need all that background?

and do you have an even bigger version?

yeah most do, but all the pics end up looking the same and very cheesy

lol go figure 😛


That is the largest shot there is since the digicam was only 2.0 megapixels.

And yes, the photo should be cropped so it's more of a portrait rather than a scene shot.

And no my highschool doesn't hire a photography studio - but many kids pay lots of money to have it done in a studio anyway. I figure, for a photo thats just in the yearbook, taking a good homemade photo should suffice.

Yeah anubis, yours is definetely on the right track thanks. I don't know much about the capabilities of photoshop, but it would be super if the shadow could be completely/mostly elimated around my face. If that's not possible then what you did should work out one way or the other.

it would be possiable BUT the picture doesnt contain enough data to do it, it begins to look very bad if you pull any more out of it

Sorry, there's no ugly filter in PS 😉 j/k

Anubis looks to have done what you asked. If you completly removed the shadow it wouldn't look natural. Tip for next photo, get in closer if it's a portrait shot.
 
hey, i tried free hand selection, and highlighting only the right side of the face, comes out lighter, though have to smooth the transition from the right side to the left side. I can't do much more because the picture doesn't have enough info (start getting too many gamma/hue problems, atifacts). I'll put the picture up on bbzzdd later. kinda busy right now.
