Set the Filter to Warming Filter (85) at a Density of 25%, and enable the Preserve Luminosity option To add some warmth to the image, use the Adjustments panel to add a Photo Filter adjustment layer. If the colorization still persists, reduce the saturation for the Cyans, as well. Switch to the Blues in the Properties panel, and reduce the Saturation slider to –50. So add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer from the Adjustments panel (Window>Adjustments). There still seems to be some slight blue leaking into the shadow areas. Switch to the Custom tab, and in the Vignette area, reduce the Amount to –52 to add some darkening to the edges of the image.
You may have to sample from several different areas of the background to help heal away the leash and fur.Ĭonvert this layer for smart filtering by going to Filter>Convert for Smart Filters. Photoshop uses the pixels from the source area to reconstruct the new edge of the fur without any trace of the leash. Sample a source by holding down the Option (PC: Alt) key while clicking on the background just below the trouble area. To correct this, use the Healing Brush tool (nested below the Spot Healing Brush tool in the Toolbar). The Content-Aware Fill left an odd result where the leash met the dog’s fur. Then use the same technique to remove any portion of the handler that’s still visible. Be sure to press Command-D (PC: Ctrl-D) to cancel the selection. Photoshop will fill in the selection with samples from the background so the leash is no longer visible. Then, go to Edit>Fill, set the Contents drop-down menu to Content-Aware, and click OK. Use the Lasso tool (L) to draw a selection around the leash. This will preserve the original just in case things go awry. Press the Enter key to commit the crop.Ĭreate a copy of the photo layer by pressing Command-J (PC: Ctrl-J). Holding down the Shift key while resizing the crop window will ensure it maintains the original aspect ratio.
Use the rule-of-thirds grid with the Crop tool to put the top-right intersection directly under the dog’s snout. In Photoshop, use the Crop tool (C) to crop out most of the dog’s handler. (If you’re in the Camera Raw Filter, click the OK button.) Hold the Option (PC: Alt) key to change the Open Image button to Open Copy, and click it to apply the settings and open the file in Photoshop. Increasing the Vibrance and Saturation in the previous step created a strange blue tint on some of the highlights, so switch to the HSL/Grayscale tab, and in the Saturation subtab, reduce the Blues to –66. In the Noise Reduction section, set the Luminance to 44 and the Luminance Detail to 62. Set the Clarity to +30, Vibrance to +55, and Saturation to +13. In the Basic tab, set the Exposure to –0.25, increase the Highlights to +18, decrease the Whites to –18, and set the Blacks to +30. If you’re using a RAW file, Photoshop will automatically open it in Adobe Camera Raw if you’re opening a JPEG, you’ll need to launch the Camera Raw Filter by going to Filter>Camera Raw Filter. Capturing these moments are part of what makes dog photography so fun and rewarding. Here you can see the sequence of Samson, the one-year-old German Shepherd, looking to his handler for treats and then responding to a quick squeak from a toy behind the camera. Kaylee’s course was the primary inspiration for this photo shoot. The German Shepherd in this tutorial isn’t that well trained and required the near presence of his handler for the entire photo shoot, which made this project a perfect example of real life retouching for dog portraits. In this tutorial, we explore some retouching techniques that can follow up on the photography techniques that Kaylee teaches. In the suggestions, Kaylee discusses how leashes and handlers can frequently be removed from the image afterwards.
These beloved pets aren’t trained to sit still for the cameras, and often you get just a brief moment to grab a capture before the dog looks away again. In her course, Kaylee outlines some exceptional techniques for capturing the gaze of dogs who aren’t quite used to being models. One of the most unique courses recently added to the KelbyOne training library is a course called Dog Photography: Overcoming Challenging Situations by Kaylee Greer.
