Hey guys, recently i did a studio shoot with a photographer and i have a few photos i really like from the shoot but they havent been edited at all.
I was just wondering you anyone here could help me with fixing up the white background in these shots as you can see the sides where the back drop isnt there poking out and stuff like that and maybe just a tiny bit of the lighting.

I like keeping my shots as natural as possible so i probably only really need help with the background.

Let me know,

xx

Also, as long as i get one natural looking one with just the background changed im happy for you guys to practice your photoshopping on the pictures =] Just make sure you email me a high res version of it (ill pm my address to you =])

Just find the "lightest" pixel in the background, (with a "threshold" adjustment layer), and set it as the white point. Note that the background appears to be bluish, and, therefore, will make the rest of the image become more orange/red when that pixel is set as the white point. You can change the color, (not the value), of that pixel to whatever color you want, and, when you set it as the white point, the color cast of the rest of the image will become more the opposite of that color.

Hi,,,
not trying to put a dampner on this, but to the model, have you asked the photographer if you can edit his/her photos??  The photographer is the copyright holder, and if he/she hasnt given permission for these to be edited everyone who has edited these photos are in breach of copyright!!

This particular image needed to be refocus they were all out of focus. You can't really work details on blurry images. I left the original color of the background and just added a background light.
