MirandaKat07 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I am at a loss on how to fix this. The model was struggling with her false eyelashes for the entire shoot. I did not realize they were coming up when I was shooting. One side is separating from her lash line and the other completely came up and flipped. Please help if possible, thank you.

Damien Symonds Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Hi Miranda, may I see a 100% crop so I can see the problem up close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirandaKat07 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Sorry to be a stickler for this, but I really need the 100% crop exactly per the instructions. So I can be sure I'm seeing pixel for pixel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirandaKat07 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'm very sorry, as I didn't realize there was a link with instructions. I simply zoomed in to 100% and cropped. Here is the correct crop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 That's great, thanks. Roughly how many photos do you have to fix with this problem? Oh crap, I just noticed a much worse problem than eyelashes. Please follow this troubleshooter all the way to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirandaKat07 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 I was doing it deliberately as another "CreativeLive disaster." Thanks for the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirandaKat07 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 And 6 images. Not all this obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MirandaKat07 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 It looks amazing! Please let me know what I need to do. Some of the others (where it didn't flip upside down) I think I can maybe liquefy down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 It's not easy, that's for sure. I'll show you the file, then try to explain the steps ... Download the PSD The strategy is to fix the easier (camera right) eye first, then copy that over to the other one. So first, I duplicated the Background layer and liquified the wayward lash down. Then added a mask to that layer to meld it in as best as possible. Then added the two layers of the Handyman Method, and very patiently worked to put the natural eye crease back in, and generally make everything look plausible. This took ages, don't rush it. Once I was completely happy with that eye, I added a new combined layer above all the other layers, by hitting Ctrl Alt Shift E. Then I flipped that layer horizontally, and converted it to a Smart Object. Then rotated and moved it until it roughly lined up where I wanted it. Then added a mask, and masked it in. That copied section was a bit too dark, so I clipped the Levels layer to modify it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 This is a really tricky job. Take your time with it. I can't wait to hear about your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirandaKat07 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 How does this look Damien? I followed some of your steps and tried a few different things as well. 1st I took a larger brush and liquified the eyelash line on the eye on the right down. I had my finger on the screen to see how far it needed to go to match. After, I masked the original eye back up to meet the new line. I hardly moved the natural eye crease, so I didn't put it back. 2nd I selected the eye on the right, flipped it horizontally, and used the lashes from it to mask in where the other eye's lashes had flipped.

Damien Symonds Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Why is her colour so awfully dull now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirandaKat07 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 I think I may have gone back and edited the lashes on the RAW file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Um ... is that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirandaKat07 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 No, it's not. Sometimes I do a little bit of contrast and vibrance in LR before editing in PS. The first file I sent you I think had these adjustments, it's not hard for me to add them back in if I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Ok, as long as you're sure. PLEASE don't wait too long to take the Raw Class. Likewise, I would say "as long as you're sure" about the upper eyelid creases which you removed in your edit. Personally, I fear she looks weird and a bit alien now, but she's your model. I would say, however, that it's important to undo the liquifying of her left (our right) eyebrow, which is a little too fat now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
