QUESTIONS ADDRESSED:
Given a choice of A) adjusting one image to bring out a darker section using various masks and adjustment or B) combining two different images of the same location exposed to have each of the two sections in (close to) ideal settings,
Which is the best or easiest method to proceed?
What criteria might be used to determine which of each option might be better?
How to change a background colour of an image? Do you start with a coloured background and then superimpose the image? Or should you start with the image and isolate the background? e.g I have an image of a flower and want to change the background colour.
When I crop with ‘delete cropped pixels’ OFF (unchecked). I see the cropped image and the pixels are hidden, so I can re-crop at any point, however, the background layer image is also cropped, even though the background layer is locked.
How can I see the original background layer and see the cropped layer in the layer stack?
