Removing shadow on flesh - 06-19-2007, 04:13 PM


Notice there is a shadow along the left strap of her top (no idea how it happened). The couple is ordering an 11x14 print. Is this something you would try to remove, or would you leave it? I haven't had any success in removing it, leaving the area looking natural.

Yes, it should be, but I haven't been able to do that and leave the area looking natural. I haven't quite mastered the cloning and healing tools yet.

John, it's all about the opacity, brush size and hardness.

Vary the hardness of the brush along with the opacity to get your results. If you lose texture this way, go over the area again with the patch tool selecting skin with texture to replace the smoother areas.

The area you have to do should be fairly easy if you work with a 100% or larger size on screen. Good luck!

Thanks, everyone! I played with the opacity and brush softness and got it looking pretty good. I appreciate all the suggestions.
