Photo Restoration Issue

I have seen this image before and we may have used it a while back. With a whole new set of players, I feel it's safe to bring it back in a new challenge.

No comments from the cheap seats on the condition of her skin. This is a lovely young woman and I would hope that we can all treat her image with respect.

I encourage everyone to give it a try even if your new to Photoshop. All participants should be prepared to explain the techniques they have been using, as we can't learn or help without some idea as to how it was accomplished.

Good luck!



Here is my 1st attempt.

edit: I start by opening the original and duplicating it and then turning off the original layer.
I create a new layer. This is the layer that I will do all of the following adjustments on.

I started by using the following tools and settings.
Healing Brush Tool - Mode= normal - Source= Sampled - Clone sample mode= Current level and below.
Spot Healing Brush Tool - Mode= Normal - Type= Content aware - Sample cloned data from composited data= Sample all layers.
Brush Tool - Mode= Normal - Opacity= 100% - Flow= 1%

This is the image (Layer A) after only using the tools above and one added Levels Adjustment Layer.



edit: I then select the uppermost layer (Levels Adjustment layer) and hit Shift>Option>Command + E to stamp all visible layers. I then name this layer A.
I highlight all other layers except layer A and the original background layer and group them. I then turn off the group.

I then start where the tutorial starts with only the layer A turned on.

Here is the image after using a skin softening technique described in this video:

I started a project with flowers. What I want is to make the body looks like is created by flowers.
What I did was:
retouched the original pic...I selected the different areas like arms, chest & neck there is a little white line around my selections .. .which i don't know how to remove.. I try select modify, feather, also to apply blur filter, but both don't work ...

...copy paste the flower image and play with the different blend modes.
I saw that the light falls differently on the body parts so I try to equal the light over the flower layer, using a low opacity brush with soft edges on a new layer,

but i think I'm missing something. Also I have completely stuck with the face.


I will appreciate your comments, advises and help.




PS. both pics were taken by me.

Hey guys! This is my first post but I'm stuck. I've been editing with Photoshop for a while and can normally get my way through any issue I've had. But not so with this. I have the attached image that I like but I want to remove the words that are spray painted on the wall. Basically I want to keep the blue background but make it still look faded and like spray painted brick.

I don't want someone to edit this photo for me, just give me an idea as to how to accomplish this. I've tried the color replacement tool as well as the color replacement adjustment. I've also tried the clone stamp and pattern stamp tools. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Hi All

I am reasonably new to photoshop but am wanting to get a lot better! I am quite interested in being able to change the colours/livery of objects in photos most notably trains due to this being one of my main interests.

I have an image of a train and I want to edit the livery but keep an element of realism.so It doesn't just look drawn like a cartoon. I have made an attempt at this but I am not massively happy with the results. I have uploaded both a copy of the original image and a copy of my amended image. My main problem is the lack of realism, because I am trying to go from a very light colour to quite a dark blue I seem to lose a lot of the detail from the original image.

I have also uploaded an image of the sort of thing I would like to achieve. The person who has done this makes a really good job of them and I would love to be able to achieve similar results.

The way I have created my image is simply but creating adjustment layers for hue and saturation and levels and played with the settings until I get something like.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can make a better attempt at changing to colour so it retains an element of realism?

I am having an issue with getting a realistic look to an image where I need to make a section that is near solid black for the most part, be a lighter gray while keeping the shading/highlight transition. See image for what I am talking about. Is there a way to do this in a few steps? I would assume it would be some combination of the brush tool with a blend mode? Though I have quickly tried this without success. Of course curves is out since it causes nasty banding real quickly. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi there!

im having an issue when I convert my photo to CMYK from RGB in photoshop.
The colour loss is huge, which is a shame but something I can adjust, however the other issue is that it's actually losing a lot of the detail with it. It's giving it the kind of effect you have when you whack the gamma up, almost like a solarised/white layer overlay effect or something. I've tried with the original and the flattened file but the results are similar.
The image may potentially be blown up to bus ad type size so it's really important the detail is still there.

Is there any cheat fix to this or perhaps something I'm missing?

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

I want to work with this image, but I'm having trouble deciding which tool is the best to pull the subject matter from the background so that I can work with it more freely. Typically I use the pen tool. I put down about 756,982,012,117 anchor points and then I can pull the image out. It seems like there must be a better way. Although I like how well the pen tool does things as compared to magic wand, lasso, quick select, I have a feeling that perhaps there's an easier yet just as reliable way to do this. Render I think is the word some people use?

Hi everyone!

I had a shoot yesterday with a model in a milk bath, and I have a great amount of shots that I love, but I am running into some serious post work issues. Spent 4 hours in Photoshop last night trying to tackle this, and again this morning, and have decided to turn to you all for help.

The trick here is that I want the bathtub part cloned out, which I did. But in the process it caught and transferred a lot of the grayish tones. I also need the edges to be white without making the grey areas noticeable, while still keeping the model, and the water line on her body.

I've attached the version that I came up with last night, but upon uploading to the web, the gray areas are VERY noticeable and it looks awful. The only way I was able to get to where I arrived was by adjusting levels, saturation, curves, exposure a bit.. a lot of adjustments that I don't know if they were really the best way to get where I need to be.

I've also attached the original.

Can anyone help me figure out a method of attacking this issue so that I can get the post work done correctly on the rest of the images? Btw, these will be going to print, so they have to be correctly done :(

THANK YOU!!!

I did find a post to this but the solution did not help me and it was over a year ago so I did not want to bump an old thread. Here was the post I came across


"I'm having a bit of a strange problem with the text tool on CS4 at the moment.

When I have drawn a work-path with the pen tool and then attempt to type along it the text does now show up and I cannot edit it.
The cursor changes when I hover over the start of the path to indicate that the type path is available but once I click and start typing nothing seems to happen. The name of the text layer changes to what I've just typed however so it is definitely inputting it somewhere."



This is exactly what I am dealing with now. The solution in the original thread said make sure the text is not white on white background ( mine is black on transparent ) and is left justified and not center or right. My text is left justified and it still does not show up. My text is Wet Dynamite. The odd thing is my font size is currently 72, if I drop it down to 48, the W shows if I go smaller it disappears again. Even at 48 when the W shows, if I try to retype, I still can't see the rest of the phrase. I have done this method before and had no issues in the past with this technique. This seems like a bug in CS4 to me.

Any help with this would be great as I can't get past this stage in my design and can't use the warp tool for text because it looks like crap.

Thank you for your time. Ive saved my project out into a test file so you can see. If you can load it and easily see or add the text in the top curved path, then I know there has to be an issue with my CS4

Hi folks,

I've grabbed a free graphic online I want to use on my site, I've made it RGB under 'image -> mode' but when I go 'image -> adjustments -> hugh/saturation' OR '... color ballance' neither has any effect? What am I missing?

My image is at present light grey and I want to give it a blue shade whilst retaining all the darker and lighter gradient effects of the original image if you catch my drift, but nothing works, it just stays grey and it's really bugging me now.

Thanks in advance. Especially as I'm sure it's something obvious. Let me know if you need more info!

Cheers.
