Annie the Whippet - 2nd attempt at layers

Red Sky At Night
 
This is my whippet Annie, CH Starline & Wyndham's Tomorrow. This is just my second attempt at using layers and I want to thank those of you who offered advice from my first post. Wow, I need to improve so much. I'm sure practice gets you closer to perfect. Linda from Maine, I used a lot of the advice that you shared. Again, thanks to you and everyone else who offered suggestions. I do have a question though. This went from a huge file shot with my D850 and 70-200 Nikon lens. Now it is just barely 2MB's. I need to keep these at least 5MB's to use in ads that I am hoping to one day create. How do I keep this file larger?

I think....save as a PDF file, not JPEG.

Focus of the dogs head is soft - did you plan that?
Personally I would never save or store a photo as a jpg file. Store as tiff or Photoshop file format. You can always create a jpg file of whatever size you need as the output of your post-processing.
To answer your specific questions I'd need to know the software you are using.

I used Photoshop Elements 18. No, the softness on the head was not planned. In thinking back, Annie was far from me and I cropped the picture leaving out other dogs from the foreground. And probably lost a lot of pixels from that. I was focusing on her whole body where I should have focused on her eye even at that distance. Right? Lots to learn.

Thank you. Yes she is. I still can get that lasso tool. Hopefully it comes with practice. I don’t feel like I have a steady enough hand. This one I did with the mask that Lobda from Maine suggested to another uhhger.

Linda from Maine explained it in a photo set posted by Vicksart. It seems that it might have been on page 3 in one of Vicksart ‘s posts a month or so ago.
