Week 7 - Edited picture 1

FINAL FINAL:




Final Result:

Original:



I created 3 additional layers. 2 layers were adjustment layers. I adjusted the levels. I brought the highlights and shadows in a bit, and shifted the midtones closer to the shadows. I used the magic eraser and removed everything but Jasmine. I then created a new background layer that was a solid black. I still need to do something to fill out the skirt area that was blocked by the head. I wanted to smack the person. :) Ok not really but I got annoyed at how often they would stand up in front of me..

Ok.. I went back and did the obvious and cropped the final.. The Final Final also has an additional layer that adjusts saturation (-40) and vibrance (+40).
