Ella Heath Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Hi Damien, can you please help me figuring out what I am doing wrong? I took your Layer & Mask class 2 years ago and do head swaps all the time but sometimes *mysteriously* my brush do not work properly and while I try to paint back and forth I can see the shadow of the original image in the background. It's faint but it's there! This is the workflow I follow: raw processing for both images in ACR > Open both in PS > copy and past a portion of image no. 1 unto image no. 2. > covert layer to Smart Object > then add Mask > then paint with both white and black brush to compose the image. The brush is a soft brush, 0% hardness and is set at 100% opacity and flow. Here is an example at 100% crop. Please help me before I lose my mind! Thank you, Ella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Usually this happens because you're not quite painting with white or black. Make sure you press D to reset the colours to their defaults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
