What is the Color Fill doing exactly?

Yes it looks good enough. The others are the same clothing.

This is straight from LR If it help, these will end up as B&W

How can I remove the appearance of the nipple without destroying the lace? In this and similar.

This one it's so close to the edge, and the shadows are really complex. You can just see at the top finger there's a fold underneath.

This one the belly texture seems too different from the breast area. But mainly I don't know what shape it should be there. When it looks flat or bulging, it wasn't quite right.

I followed this, I get maybe 85% of the way there. This one is passable. I have another one with no bra and hands there. I couldn't get the pressure of the fingers looking right there.

Brilliant. Never thought to take another section. Are there retouchers who would do this type of work and what would I expect to pay ?

Yes thanks. I think this works. I'd want to make the shadow area extend a bit further up so it doesn't look so bulging. What is the process? I have a couple I need to do.

100% cut

That was a screencap from LR. Do you need a file to actually edit from? Because that won't fit in a 700x700 100% crop

I tried freq sep + heal, it can get rid of the chicken's feet but there's a few creases running down the arm and it's not quite right. Can't do anything about the fold at all.

underarm skin folds due to overtight/mis-sized bras - how can these be fixed? There is the chicken's feet at the joint, then the big fold where the breast is pressed in.

1) I understand the 1st layer, but not the 2nd Overlay mode. Why not just 1 layer and mask? 2) In future, should I always shoot on pure white, then add layers later?

Thanks. Any tips how to deal with the bit on her forehead? I don't even know whether to fill it or clear it of the bits of hair.

Yes perfect. Yes D800 4:5,1.2x,dx all affect raw

Hmm, somehow not how I pictured in my mind. How about keep it blue to dark like this then. Client didn't really have a preference. https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/481231649128980480/9hpv14pc.jpeg Btw, I change to 4:5 ratio in camera for headshots.

Also the bit on her forehead. I wanted to fill the bit in above her left eye. I tried cloning and healing a few ways but couldn't get it to look real. The edges mainly. Is it something that can be done?

It would be white, and a blue radial gradient out from behind her. Similar to now except white where grey is.

The full crop. That's to say, I'll likely crop in a little and straighten before delivering.

I don't especially need to change it. But I probably want to replace with a false gradient blue to white.

face painted because running for of fice I was thinking it needs to be cut out, because heal will just give soft edges on the ends

This client had frizzy hair. Since it's on a plain BG, what is a good way to clean this up? This side is the worst, I don't know what the top part was supposed to be like.
