Hello graphic experts,
Attached is the picture I've been using for my bios when I do plays, dance ministry etc. I'd like for it to look more professional or some added effects to make it stand out.
For starters it was taken in front of a window and you can kinda see the headlights outside....any takers?

Hi Kita, can you post or link a higher quality image, thats a bit small to do anything with really, changing the background is easy enough, even adding a studio type background.
This one was done quite quickly using the extract tool in photoshop.

Unfortunately that's all I got....any bigger and I lose quality. Do you have some other studio backgrounds?

Here is my first try at extraction....I was having fun so I figured I'd throw in a double exposure....how would I fade the bottom into 'nothing'
Not still the effect I am looking for though...anyone else out there? I guess I'll know it when I see it

I have loads of them, what colour did you want? I have an action I made that makes a 10x8 in the forground and background colour, you set those first, and away you go, that was more of a home made sky rather than a studio background though. What about the colour of your dress perhaps??

Not sure what color I want --- again, not sure what I am really looking for.
I'd be using the picture mostly for praise dance bios so maybe something that speaks "motion" or "ministry" or "angelic" or "heavenly".
I don't know what colors would look good --- but I do like the one you did

I'm not sure about the colours for those ideas, I put a few together so you have a bit of choice. Wayne

Probably not going to get exactly what I am looking for out of this pic...I think I'm going to have to take another one....but I do want to thank you...I learned about extraction and putting color on B&W....here is what I did...just for fun....

Nice work. You're right, that picture is not the easiest to work with being so small.
