Question from Rebecca: “Photoshop question- There is too much sun flare on one of my family pics but I love the background! I Photoshopped the family out and fixed the background, but am wanting to paste the family in from another picture. Any tips on how to make it look like I DIDN”T do the above mentioned process?!!

Milan:  sun flare is great..put the family back to the original photo:)

Brittany: Use the pen tool to make the selection and use a small feathered eraser to erase any hard edges.

Rebecca: Thanks! I like sunflare as much as anyone else, and since I was laughing at this family so hard the whole time I failed to notice how much there was! The family is hard to see since they’re kinda hazy. Total amateur mistake and I’m pretty ashamed of myself!!

Christy: RAW? Might be able to up the contrast for better detail.
