Lovely bride and great ideas for the background. I think I like the less white version as Melody suggested, simply because it shows off the bride better (IMO). Clover

I like Melody's rendering too, as the colors are shown in the framing. Here is another idea, George, but perhaps too radical, as the colors are more muted, and the idea may not suit the persons...

George I like what you have done and like the light pastel background. It is different. I believe that I would lighten up the shadows around the head and as Harry said to lighten up the veil and...

Thank you all for your opinions, comments and suggestions. I don't want to overwork it before I get some idea from the Bride what she might like. Harry, the Church window will not work, but the idea...

The latest rendition in this vein with many suggestions incorporated.....I'm still looking for something along the line of what Harryco posted to show the bride. George

What incredible improvements you have made George! Well done! Do hope you are felling better also! For me..I would have liked to see the bottom where she is standing darker than the background to...

George, I am glad all went well with the ticker. We need you around here for another 60 years (or more). Great suggestions from all and with a few tweeks and a few various renditions, I know she will...

After a little rethinking and adding some ideas in a different direction we are now at this possibility (are we going the right or wrong way??):

Beautiful work, and what a Grand step from what it was, to this. Great job!

Beautiful George! What program are you using for your extraction of her in the original shot? You got it very nice and clean. That's always the hardest part for me. You did an awesome job and she...
View ArticleRe: The Bride asked if the background could be changed/eliminated
I certainly like either of your last two tries, why not just let her choose which she likes best. The selection is nicely cleaned up now as well. You will wind up with a nice formal portrait from the...

Melody, Thank you. I hate to admit it, but this one was done with on an older PC (I really like the Sony Trinitron flat screen CRT...great color/detail and no variations in what you see no matter what...

needle, Thank you. Glad i've gotten to this point. The extraction actually has not changed...the fringe/glow/etc issues were all on the (original) background.....which contained the brides image and...
View ArticleRe: The Bride asked if the background could be changed/eliminated
George a great extractor is Mask Pro from onOne. It may not work for you if you are using elements 2 (I believe it works on 5 and higher). It works with Photoshop CS2 and higher. It is not cheap...
