fotographer.nz Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I don't think I've posted this one for a levels check yet (I've posted so many of these blimmen chair ones) if I have feel free to ignore it but I have a question about the neck. There's like a dribble rash there, I did try the healing brush but I think it's a bit too big of an area. Would you be inclined to do a colour fill to balance out the red?

Damien Symonds Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 No, no, it'll just be a handyman job. Very straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotographer.nz Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 ok I'll give that a whirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotographer.nz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 so would you dodge the darker red areas or just shadows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Yes, isn't the dark red area the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotographer.nz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 yep just wasnt sure if it needed dodging as well as covering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotographer.nz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 oh yeah even just the dodging gets rid of quite a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotographer.nz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 I think I need more practice on shadows, I even tried the odd blob edit, like you did on that example psd yesterday, on areas that looked uneven on the right hs of the backdrop but I don't think I did a great job Need a break for a bit tho, the lamb needs feeding.

Damien Symonds Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Hmmm ...what opacity of brush were you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotographer.nz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) I would have thought 100. Looking at it again, maybe it's my dodging. perhaps I'm going a bit heavy handed on that and/or accidentally hitting the lighter areas along with the darker ones.

Damien Symonds Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 What? No, you should be using a 5% brush at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotographer.nz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 oh yes, for the d&b I was only using 2 or 3%. I thought you were asking about the mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Mask? Neither layer needs a mask. There should be no masking involved here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotographer.nz Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Let me start again. Firstly I thought I may have done a bad job with the mask on my levels layer on the background. I only wanted to work on the right hand side, hence the mask. But when I looked again I thought it more likely that the problem arose from my dodging and burning which as you mentioned has no mask. Sorry if I confused the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
