Hi there,

Really need some advice on how to clones some hair but keeping it looking natural. Basically, my problem is that I'm trying to reshape the hair in the portrait to make it look more balanced and aesthetically pleasing. However, the hair stylist used hair extensions in the shot that are really curly and frizzy. What I've done so far is clone it using heal and clone with various amounts of opacity and flow...this worked on some parts, but around the edges I'm at a loss. Right now I have the 'form' of the hair masked off, but now need to clone the edges to make it look like the hair naturally fell in that position rather than shaped in post-production...any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

best,
joe

Try using the smudge tool with different strengths and brush sizes til it looks right.
