Charlie

[Charliepw]

Hello there

I've read this post - 

 which looks fab, but the psd file has expired and i can't see how to report it.

 

I have a similar baby drool / dribble problem.

Here is a 700 x 700 px crop and here is also the whole file.

I haven't gotten around to editing the drool on the face yet, but i can cope with this ok, it's the drool on the pink top that is my problem.

I would really appreciate any pointers.

please any Admin, feel free to change that.

There's a "Report post" button in faint text at the top of every post and comment.

This should work:

Download PSD file

Add the Channel Mixer layer first.  Then go back and make the Levels layer below it, invert its mask, and paint on gently until the darkness is gone.

Sorry, forgot to add the photo:

[Charliepw]

wow thank you.

I've downloaded the psd and am now studying it and will try it on the bigger image.

[Charliepw]

oh my goodness, you are genius.

i've used your settings and had a play and done it on a few other photographs.

Damien, which class is this type of thing taught in please?

[Damien Symonds]

One that I'm just beginning to write, actually.

May I use your photo as a demonstration in the class?  I won't need to show the children's faces.

[Charliepw]

yes of course, if you need a higher res one then let me know.
if you do want to show kids faces, then i can ask the parents.

[Damien Symonds]

Oh, the high-res would be great, thanks!  Could you send it to me here?

No, I really won't need to show faces, thanks.

[Damien Symonds]

I've just sent you an email.
