Rentia Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hi Damian, What is the easiest and best way to remove the piece of chair sticking out on the right hand side?I have tried a few things but I just cannot get it to look seamless. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Ok, please read this: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/09/cropping-tutorial.html Yes, I can help you with the chair. But of course Photoshop editing must not be done until raw processing is finished, so go ahead and do your raw processing then post the WHOLE photo for me.

Rentia Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hi Damien, the previous file I sent you was just and edit from the jpeg, and I smoothed the skin a bit and cropped to 8x10. This file is untouched. Is it OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Well, no, I'm pretty sure the boys' shirts are supposed to be white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rentia Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 OK. I do apologise. I need to do your RAW class but I cannot see how to sign up for it. Can you point me in the right direction? Hopefully it will be running soon as I need to get this pic fixed :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Once you've done the raw processing, use a gradient layer to replace the whole background: https://www.damiensymonds.net/preventing-banding-in-backdrops/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rentia Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 OK thank you. I guess the bit I'm struggling with is where her arm meets the chair - to make the transition look more natural from her arm to the new background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Well, the colour of the gradient in that area has to be as close as possible to the colour of the existing background. Any variation will, as you say, make the blend very difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
