| Hi All,
I am using Photochop CS.
I have some backlit photographs where I want to isolate the subject
from the background then lreduce the shadow effect on the sunject.
Can anyone direct me to a good tutorial or tell me a process to follow.
thanks.
Adam

| not tutorial, but you have several ways doing it, eg you can select roughly
the object, copy it (ctrl-c) on a different layer (ctrl-v) then erase what
isn't needed using the eraser or a mask applyed to the newly created layer.
Sometimes to desaturate the edges of the extracted object can help
integrating better it on the background

| Probably a bit more information required. I have a back-lit portrait
where I just wanted to reduce the shadow effect on the face.
What is the easiest way to accurately select the subject so the
contrast effect can be lessened.

Highlight shadows tool. Then history brush to restore everything else back.
I will sometimes desaturate everything except the subject a bit to make the
subject stand out a bit more.

Hi Adam,
You could try:
First separate the background with a mask.
Add a style with a radial gradient to the new layer - play around
quite a bit.
Duplicate this layer and blend the background back with itself - try
the burn modes and play with opacity.
This works nicely with rim.
Good luck,
Ron

Help -> Erase Background (it is a feature of Photoshop)
