Proposal pic help
I got engaged a while ago but when I received these photos back from the hotel photographer I felt that they looked odd. It seems as though there’s been some heavy editing that makes them look artificial, plastic, and almost like we were pasted into the background. I can no longer get access to purchase any raw photos.
I would love to get these looking like normal, natural photographs again. Could someone help with the following?
• Restore Texture and clarity: Reduce the extreme digital smoothing/plastic effect on our faces and skin so they look natural. The ring also looks blurred and so does the pattern on the dress.
• Fix the Edges/Halos: Soften the unnaturally sharp cut-out appearance around our hair and clothes so we blend realistically into the scenery.
• Subtle Color/Lighting Matching: Adjust the lighting contrast so it doesn't look like a harsh studio flash layer on top of a separate beach background.
I've attached two photos.
If paid: Will tip $10 for the best one!
I have also attached a reference photo to see some additional clarity.
Thank you.
