Retouching - Need Help On Grids On Walls

Just what it said...I would like some retouching help.

I found this damaged image on the web, for my amusement only I decided I wanted to fix it up.

I am lost on removing the blue, and it has a darker fringe which makes it tough. I will post the whole thing, but the small section with the bhue is my need. ..The small sections on the background were easy, but thats background!

Any pointers would help me learn this!




Hand painting the pixels won't work as the dress has lace texture

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and I'm a freelance researcher in image editing.
I'm italian, so sorry in advance for my english .
I'm also a little crazy , I left my job as employee 'cause I believe in my researches and I want to make them my only job.
I developed a new effect for substituting colors in images. I would like to test the goodness of this new approach useful for retouching photos ... so I ask you a little collaboration, if you want to help me, you should retouch the image that I attached in this way: change the color of the pen fromred to white.
It's important to me to know how much time you spent in retouching the image and what applications you used for achieving the result, so please post the altered image together with the requested info. In a few days I'll post the image elaborated with my algorithm.
Really thanks to all, in advance, for the collaboration.

I was doing a restoration project for the community center that i work for, But I got an issue with the lighter spots in the surrounded area. I planed to make a selection of the areas, use hue/ saturation to desaturate and then equal the tones between light and dark making an adjustment dodge and burn layers. But I think there are other methods as well which can solve this issue. You can download the untouched original version of the pic from the link and feel welcome to give a try whit your versions and suggestions of this project.

I will appreciate your opinion and help.

Here is my work in progress and the issue:


Here is a link to the original image:

P.S the image represent an reproduction of women harvesters, who sing while working, wearing a traditional Bulgarian clothing My progress till now is to do some healing using spot healing tool and stamp tool.

This is a photo by Cecil Beaton that appeared in Vogue Magazine in 1948. It's currently being used in advertisements for a fashion exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. I'm trying to put my finger on what specifically gives this image it's interesting, painterly quality. I think I see that the dresses are high-contrast and saturated, whereas the skin tones are the opposite. The white walls also appear to be somewhat desaturated, which make the clothes pop. Is there anything else going on here that I'm not seeing? What kinds of Photoshop adjustments would give a normal photo this kind of appearance?

Also, how in the world was this done back in 1948, when Photoshop ran on wood-burning computers?

P.S.
I hope I'm not violating any copyright rules by posting the photo here. Apologies if I am.

I recently read a comment in this THREAD and decided I would start a thread with a a few torn images that need to be repaired.

For anyone interested in attempting a repair, please feel free to join in! Post your progress and most of all, ask questions if needed. For you more seasoned shoppers, this is not a place to show off your skills as much as it is an opportunity to show and help others to learn effective techniques used in these types of repairs.





If you read the post I linked you with, one of the first steps is to select the torn pieces and move them to their own layers.
The separate pieces then need to be moved in to proper position with the Move Tool.

Good luck.

First, a very Happy New Year to you and all members, and all the best for 2015.

Sorry for this late reply.

Hello all

I'm a new member here so hopefully I'm posting in the right section!

Now... I'm not a newbie with PS but I just can't figure out how these lights and shadows were created on the characters. Btw, these photos were taken in a virtual world and then edited in, I assume, PS.
I really like the polished look. These pics look almost like some photos in magazines like Vogue.
I did speak to the guy who edited them and asked what his technique is, but he barely speaks English so he explained just that he uses different blend modes. I did try many times better new achieve anything close to these images.

How could I achieve this effect and what 'tricks' are there to creating such nice lights and shadows?

Thanks!

I would like to have this picture of my mom tattooed on me but I don't want the graduation hat and this is the best picture I have of her. The (amazing) artist doesn't alter photos in a major way and this would be out of my skill level. I don't know how hard it would be to make look good because you have to guess on the shape of the head and hair style, I can post other pictures of her if requested but the ones that I have I don't think helped the process. I hope someone is willing to help me out with this because it would mean a lot to me. I will post the final result if someone is interested. Thanks in advance .

There is this photographer who's work I really love. He does a lot of portrait shots for actors, but I'm not sure where to start. Obviously uses a sharp lens, but the main thing seems to be lighting and post production.

Here is his website: Headshots NYC: David Noles New York City Headshots for Actors

It looks like he uses layering in Photoshop, but I'm extremely new to portraits. The colors look faded but the eyes pop out, so I'm guessing use of the the RGB curve and RGB individual color curves are involved, along with an adjustment brush. Any pointers/examples?

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if someone could please help me out. I do not have Photoshop, so I just downloaded GIMP tonight. I am beginning to learn the ropes but would really like a photo edited in the mean time.

There is an annoying pipe in the 2 attached photos that I would like to be removed, if possible. If anyone can spare a few minutes to remove it that would be awesome. Also, the lion in the first picture doesn't seem to be as rich in color and/or in focus as he is in the second picture, so if a certain effect (the picture seems "whiter" than the 2nd, so maybe it's too bright?) can be used to help him stand out that would be great. I trust your opinions/suggestions, so if you want to mess around with it and add certain things please do. I'm sure these two edits are very basic (item removal and sharpening/adding color to an image), so I hope to learn how to do it in GIMP within the next few days.

Thanks so much
