NitroC5...just a quick edit here to apply to that one photo you have...I just pulled down the background about 80%, leaving some trace of color so it just feels less potent to the photo, but still has a semi-real feel.
For even more I put a base layer of black, then ran the opacity down on the background to 90%, leaving her alone
Then full background desaturation
In final, I increased the blur on the background, settled on about 65% desaturation of the background and essentially drew down the exposure using the opacity/black background method...it's the one I like best (as long as I don't look at it again...lol). Hope you don't mind me putting spin on your art...just trying to add to the convo. Only reason your watermark is gone from this one is because the blur killed it, not intentional
