Mollie

[spencer]

I have taken this picture of my daughter Mollie, stood in front of some blinds in my lounge.

I would be very grateful if anyone could suggest a decent way of extracting her from the them & what sort of background should I put Mollie in front of?

Thanks in advance

There's no substitute for getting the background right in camera really Spencer. You can change backgrounds but it's not all that easy to get a convincing result. I'd keep it simple and stick to a white background as that way it's fairly easy to preserve the stray hairs around the outline - when you lose those the results start to look very cut 'n paste.:shrug:

Why didn't you turn the camera to portrait orientation? I've cropped it how I assume you'd want to frame it?

Thanks CT, I'd tried a few background colours, but it did not seem real!
The white looks loads better.thanks.

The reason I didn't turn it to portrait orientation, because Mollie was in a bit of a rush to get to her party, so I grabbed a quick shot before she left!:bonk: :bonk:

Thanks again for the edit!
