Sarah_ Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 The carpet looks SO bad. Should I perhaps make it darker overall to match the dark patch rather than lightening the dark patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Whatever you think is the path of least resistance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 A muddy mess...should I go back to cloning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 May I see a 100% crop, of some good carpet and some "muddy" carpet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Turned off my lighten and darken carpet layers for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Has this difficulty been caused by the fact that the carpet down in the corner of the original photo was unusually textured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 I'm sorry, at this point I can't even remember. It certainly wasn't evenly lit or textured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 No, I'm not asking for guesswork. I'm just commenting on what I can see. Is it more textured down there than in more trafficked parts of the room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 Sorry. Yes, more texture, a little noise and darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 So maybe you should have ignored that part completely, and cloned from smoother areas? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 That looks good at this size. I wish the skirting board didn't have a bend in it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 I know! Can I flatten the image and copy/ paste to straighten, then crop & sharpen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Gosh no. May I see your layers panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 It's messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Which layer has the extended skirting board on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Layer 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Turn off all the adjustment layers, so that only "Layer 7" and below are turned on. Make sure Layer 7 is still selected, and hit Cmd Opt Shift E to create a new merged layer. Convert that to a smart object. Make a new blank layer above that, and draw a line (using the Line Tool (U)) where the skirting board should go. Select the merged layer again, Cmd T to get the transform handles, and Option-click at the exact point where the skirting board bends, to put the centre marker there. Then rotate to line the skirting board up to the line you drew. Delete the line layer Mask the rotated layer. Turn all the adjustment layers back on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Should it look like this when using the Line tool layer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 No, that's the rectangle shape! Click and hold on the tool to get the line tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 It still does the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 What is the "weight" of the line tool in the Options Bar? 2-4 pixels should be plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 No, that's not the line tool. Click and hold on the tool in the toolbar, and you'll get a little flyout with all the tool varieties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
