The quick process (it took way longer to type this than to do it) of how I got Roxy to obey me. It really helped to start with a strong image that was quite symmetrical.
1. Select and copy and paste onto a new layer the left 1/2 of the photo because of the clarity of her eye and the absence of stray hairs. This ended up being easier than using the healing brush to remove the hairs and trying to manually fix her blurry left eye.
2. Flip the copied image and place it over top of the opposite side.
3a. On the copied layer, start erasing with a bit of a feather to the brush areas so that the original lighting remains as much of the original image remains to not look copied.
3b. Erase the copied eye and use the reflection from the original left eye.
3c. Retain the original nose, mouth, and Roxy's famous nose part.
4. Clone a bit of the fur on her shoulder to create a look slightly different than the opposite side.
5. use the Dodge tool to brighten up the whites of her eyes.
Flatten the image, resize it, and do a quick Curve adjustment to brighten it a bit and add a touch of contrast (I have no idea how to describe that properly).
It ends up being like one of those comparison cartoons that you have to figure out what's different but in this case what's different from side to side and what's the same.
The original picture was shot with a Canon Rebel XT and a Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS lens (I'll be ranting about this lens for some time to come).
The camera was set to 1600 ISO to allow for the poor lighting at the daycare, 1/80 sec shutter @ f/4 with the image stabilizing on which wasn't fast enough to avoid blur in the original image but did allow the detail in her fur to come out.
A manual white balance was done by shooting a white piece of paper taped to a pillar in the middle of the room (remind me to take it down).
Thought it would be fun to post up the processed versions of my 2 entry's for the photo technique challenge.
