Tried for hours but couldn’t emulate these. Any ideas? I tried using the single column marquee tool and transforming/stretching the column, but it was impossible to superimpose the new section onto the original image/get it to get around the edges like this photographer.

Newbie here: Camera setting or editing? Amateur here, but I take hundreds of pictures of my kids’ soccer games. At the last game, some players paid a pro to take shots as well and her pictures looked way brighter than mine (see below). Our gear was similar and I’m wondering, is this just a setting on the camera that is producing the brighter/bolder colors, or is this editing after the…

Melting candles on model? So I’m working on a series of photos and for one of the themes melted candles on the model would really hit the mark.
