Photoshop Help!

ceericks · 10-31-2009, 07:05 AM

Good Morning Pentax forums. Im in need of some assistance. 2 weeks ago I was asked to shoot a Debutante Ball. I met with the client prior to the ball and she let me know what photos she was interested in. One of the photos, a shot with the girls on the hotel steps, was highly requested. My problem is, I was able to take the shot, but each of my attempts has a parents arm in the bottom right side of the view. Ive tried to remove the arm, and blend it in with Elements 6.0, but im not having any success. Could someone please help me out? I need to either remove the arm, blend it in with the dress or find another solution.

Thanks in advance

Corey

This took about a minute. If you want to send me the full res file, send me a PM.

Not bad for a 1-minute-job. Wher did you steal the texture?

The dress beside, and I think from the third dress as well. If I'd taken an extra half minute or so, the edge of the dress where I replaced it wouldn't be showing any bleed.

Did you copy and paste or use the Stamp tool?

I colour sampled an area of the dress and then airbrushed the arm, then sampled behind the dress and airbrushed the arm that was in fron of the background and then used a combination of the clone tool and the healing brush to build the dress and background. The bleed from background to dress is caused by the healing brush, which doesn't work really well in that sort of situation
