hi there....
if you can see in my following picture the quality and lightning from the the original pic (the room and my brother sitting at the end of the table) is different then the other one (docter).


my question is: how can i adjust the quality more? so both pic will match with the same quality?

i think the only way to set the lightning effects is adjusting the brightness and setting a spotlight or omni on the rest of the photo?

first I would match the doc, to the rest of the image, try adjusting the saturation less and matching the darker areas. like under the arm, far side of the face/body to match the light direction, also the edge is to crisp, may making him stand out too much, soften it and cast a shadow of the chair near left on him slightly

I am unsure if it is the quality of the pic, or the cutting out that is making him jaggedy, but try these tips should help

hi ReDNaZ,
both pics are very different, specifically the spot on the doctor.
the best is to find a new source pic.
but try this:
- at first maximize the pic from your brother to ~300dpi
- set the graviation CTRL+M, because you need saturation too.
next possible steps:
- orthochrom correction
- selective colour correction
- lighting filter (be carefully)
- shadow working for both (not layer shadow)

sorry my PS is in german, the names of the function /filters could be very different.
at last the most guys here can give you 9999999 other facilities for your problem.

Very Happy
