Any advice?

# Up the brightness and intensity a bit,
he looks darker than his surrounding companions.

# I'll give it a go.
What do you mean by 'intensity'? Saturation?


It doesn't help that my monitor is a bit rubbish.

# That combined with a bit of warming photo filter seems to have helped a little.
cheers.

# I don't know the Photoshop equivalent of intensity, I'm using Corel Photopaint.
It kind of works like brightness and contrast combined, only different.

# There seems to be some feathering
going on around the morris dancer and the shadow doesn't help with the definition either.

I would adjust the levels ctl-l or curves ctrl-m on the morris dancer layer, which should help with blending..

curves seems to be helping a little too. I must get the missus to teach me how they work.

That looks pretty cool.

I'm basically a bumbling amateur at photoshop. I learn little bits as I go along and find I need them. Half of the trouble is working out what it is I need to learn.

# Looking at his hands he seems to be slightly smaller in relation to the others
Also a spot of increasing the highlight range and warming him up a bit (less blue).

His shadow is a bit too defined as well (the others have less defined shadows)

Either that or dress them all as Ninjas

# Good call.
Changing the blending mode on the shadow was an improvement.



Ah. Just found the extra options on shadow/highlight. Also helpful. Thanks!
