michelle a. Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Can anyone offer suggestions as to which tool would be best suited for the job on this image? Shame on me for not noticing the rolled up bulging sweater while shooting! I was photographing a family of 3 young kids and with so much action going on I wasn't seeing it at the time. Now I have 3 images with the sweater of this adorable kid that look like this.... I could toss them and it wouldn't be a too big of a loss but I happen to like them and think they may be worth the trouble of trying to fix. The only problem I'm having is trying to figure out which tool/tools in CS2 would be best suited for the job. The healing brush is not working for me, and the cloning tool was also giving me difficulties because of the differences in color between the top part of the shirt and the bottom. Any suggestion on tool or combination would help?<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricklavoie Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 It could be done, not simply and not seemlesly neither. If you could reshoot that will indeed solve that problem, but honestly, im not sure you will give them a well retouch shot that they will like...so maybe you should try to covince them to choose another one? At one point, you or they have to understand that photoshop is not the final answer for everything. Cloning tool, liquify, healing tool...all of the above could help you.

samcisa Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 You can isolate lower part of the sweather, copy and paste it. Then edit-transform-distort- perspective. Rest is cloning/healing.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle a. Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Wow! Those corrections look great... thank you sooo much! This helps me see that it can be done without too much hair pulling, and it gives me a direction to start in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel120 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I have used the pattern tool for similiar projects, works very good with textures, such as in the sweater. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.W. Wall Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Nice fixes. Although, I really kind of like the original! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle a. Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Well I managed to fix all three of them thanks to the helpful suggestions here. What I ended up doing was copy/pasting from a couple of other images where the sweater was "good". In all I used the transform tool, layer masks, cloning tool, and a little dodge and burn. They look pretty good! Thanks everyone!<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
