 Posted: Thu Mar 09, 2006 10:02 am Post subject: Getting rid of a reflection spot from a face |
 |
|
Hi
I took a photo using Canon PowerShot A400 but there was one spot on one person's eye due to reflection I think. This is the cut-image of that area.
Because its transparent, would I be able to get rid of that spot and replace it with background one - like as if the spot never existed before. I've done 'some' editing in PS like removing unwanted spots using the eye-dropper tool and the circle tool - but not more.
Any way to fix this ?
Thanks

Your best bet is to select the area using the circle marquee. Then go tot he bottom of the layers palette, click the button for "new adjustment layer" and then click "brightness and contrast" You'll probably want to turn brightness down and contrast up. Match it until the inside of the circle looks like the same colour as the rest of the image.
You'll probably have a strange halo still. To the right of the adjustment layer's icon is the icon for it's maks. Click this icon and then go to filter - blur - gaussian blur. If you blur the right amount this wierd halo should fade away fairly well. It might take a couple of tries. if the blurring doesn't seem to quite work, you may have to try a bigger or smaller initial selection.

What I would recommend is he NOT USE brightness and contrast BUT levels or curves for more of a finer detailed look. B and C are a sledgehammer while levels is a kitchen knife and curves is a scalpol when it comes to adjusting any type of image.

Or another way he might go about retouching it is if the other eye on the right hand side of his or her face is complete (with no marks on it or what not), he might want to make a copy of the area of the completed eye and then just move it over to the eye with the damage part, and flip it horozontally, then match it up the best he can. I would use the difference blending mode to match the eyes up. Unless if coarse if the subject has an eye patch covering his right eye - then you might be screwed.
Good luck!

Can also use the clone set to darker at a low opacity and build up the darker color.
If you had a larger picture people might be able to show you.
