Well im getting a pic blown up for a friend and im stuck with these three pictures. Help me out and choose a pic. Also it will be printed A4 sized and let me know which paper i should also use. Matte or glossy?

Only see two pictures... but of these I like the first one..PS wise if you can clone out the 'Exit' sign that would be good and dim the florescent/lighting inside behind her. The second shot is a bit over exposed but the main problem is the big shadow on the wall behind.

thanks for that..ill try do the first photo now..

first one, same here - clone out the exit sign

and what about making the background excluding the people black & white, just as a suggestion.

i would probably go for matte

[thirdkid]

yeah im liking the matte look when it comes to memorable photos..

okay with the exit sign, it wont get cloned out because it the glass has a wire mesh and i just tried cloning and stamping it out but no luck cos it hardout shows the mesh not lining up..

so to fix the exit sign, i made the background blur and i might make the background black and white as you said david

the background is a little blurry but cant really tell there..

also was thinking ill just put my signature in the back of the photo frame.

when i look at it like this, it looks like the skin tone is a bit orange in comparison to the first one. but its hard to tell because the image is quite small.

hmmm just noticed that now..the old one looked better cos the one i just did is newly PS'd..forgot to save the PS for it..ill try get the color like the 1st one i did
