OK I put that in, but it's saved with the bg change already.

Oh I have a big one in psd

well it's a composite so the right family is changed. Look in the folder again.

Using eizo cg277 self calibrates periodically. Sent you a dropbox. In the original, there's a faint halo to the couple's head on the left. That actually showed up in a print worse than in screen. Final one has a few bands I can see in the round shadows. I tried to make an oval shadow by stretching the round one, and that has really bad bands but at least that's expected.

Can you see it here? Also I want to make some oval shaped shadows, not just round - how would I do that? Tried to stretch a ball, makes even worse bands.

I'm having trouble creating the shadows back. It's a standing group shot so I need a bunch of them. I tried making a radial gradient, and the same shape as a mask so that it only affects a spot. then making a bunch of them. But when checking these shadows are making ring bands and are not smooth. What's the correct way to do it?

I see. How do you construct the gradient in the fill layer? How do you know how many points you want? Do you just dropper it and keep adding until happy?

I mean retaining the shadow behind his arm on right, or is it a new painted shadow?

Looks good. How much of the back was replaced?

I don't have the space. If I had 5x the width and depth it'd look like http://kidona.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/DSC5070-Edit.jpg http://i.vimeocdn.com/video/103288090_1280x720.jpg http://cdn.goodgallery.com/fe4824d3-2a84-460a-a23b-a26f28947ad1/r/0800/1x6o0vmt/hattie-cyc-wall.jpg https://format-com-cld-res.cloudinary.com/image/private/s--kVzhityf--/c_limit,g_center,h_1200,w_65535/a_auto,fl_keep_iptc.progressive,q_95/395696-20072044-9911-20131123-122005-Edit_jpg2.jpg It should kinda just fade off and not draw attention

cyclorama wall

The edit is good, and faster than patching. I'm just wondering about how to fix my wall. No point having a cyc if you have to edit each one. Of course I"ll get it smoothed, but is there a min. radius to avoid reflections?

When I paint in PS CC, with wacom tablet, I don't seem to get a smooth gradient. Rather you can kinda see steps as I changed pressure. This is with a brush with hardness=0. If I paint over an area a few times, it becomes very apparent it's not natural. What settings should I check?

Using the dither option on the gradient, how do I combine that with the noise layer? Should I use both or just one or the other? Because I will apply the noise layer to parts that I do not change

There's no after because I'm not happy with anything other than full replacement of bg where it's a half body All the parts in the last post are from attempts to change it which didn't work because of the artefacts you can see

Not especially, but when you can see the ground or sidewalls I want it to look like a real background and not something I dropped in.

I'm thinking make separate gradients and blend them into each area. What do you think? Like the blanket fade but not quite

Sometimes these waves come if I edit then see another issue and edit again. Sometimes the halo appears and I keep patching the edges of it and see if it goes before I reach the subjects.

This is the wall, a four way cyc The light stripe you see in the top left is actually from a fold in the plaster The around corners have the biggest problems with random scratches and stuff I also very find it very hard to edit this wall because it's hard to see all the issues after staring at grey for a while. I have to come back to it several times over several days Because it's a small space I can't have people far enough away from the back to hide the issues

here's a 700x700 I have a plaster wall that has gone wobbly as time passed. There are places where it's not smooth, and I see grooves like this. How would I fix it? Because it's not a simple gradient. I've tried the patch tool, sometimes it works. Sometimes the edges of the patching gets a halo, and I duno why. Sometimes maybe from the noise, I get posterisation of the area I patched.

Usually I'd use a hue to change the green reflection. But this has the grid in it. I can't catch the whole area, and the color doesn't seem even across either. If I take the green, I still see the grid shadow.

Here's sth bigger, you don't see many at 700. I've got the whole light to shadow range too

I think the spots are so big that it smooths the skin even with the thresholds. So you still can't use a wide brush for masking. I tried hue for the red but it doesn't catch well either, each spot is on a differnt range.

Is there an easy scriptable way of cleaning this over many files? Or at least over the large ones? Otherwise I'd be using the spot healing on each dot on each pic.
