Bad Shadows!!!

[Erin Webber]

Hey Damien, i have a horrible shadow from a strand of hair on the moms face, i have this problem on a few different photos, what is the best way to tackle this??? Any help is appreciated

Can you post that 700x700 crop of the cheek and chin area (I assume that's where you are seeing it) that has that shadow.

I wish I had some kind of magic fix for you.  All I can suggest is this, and a LOT of patience.

[Erin Webber]

Thanks. I'll give it a shot and let you know my result. . And hopefully never make this mistake again. Should I do this before or after all my regular levels work.

It shouldn't matter, really, but I'd tend to do it early in the workflow.

hows this?, can i push it even further or does it look ok, i haven't done any other editing yet

[Damien Symonds]

I'd push it further.
