Challenge Image: Egg

In this lesson I tackle a challenge image that was submitted by a Masters Academy member. It’s a photo of an blue egg that needs to be extracted from the background, while retaining the shadow and then a new background is added and various adjustments and retouching are performed.

Note: one of the downloadable practice files has been compressed into a .zip file since the original file format of .dng is not directly supported by our web site. You’ll need to double-click on the file after downloading to extract the contents before attempting to use the file in Photoshop.
