Linda Sutton Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 I'd like your guidance, Damien, with the proper way to remove the people in the background without making the area flat (like a backdrop). My original attempt was to use spot healing followed by content aware, but the two shades of brown didn't realistically blend properly with those shadows and I don't know how to do that. The floor was a painted shiny surface. Thanks!
Damien Symonds Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Definitely don't try any of those pixel edits. This is a replacement job for sure. Use a gradient, per this method. Download my PSD
Linda Sutton Posted January 7, 2018 Author Posted January 7, 2018 Exactly what I was trying to achieve, Damien. Thanks!!
Linda Sutton Posted January 7, 2018 Author Posted January 7, 2018 I'm having trouble trying to get the gradient colour set. I need a few more hours to work through the tutorial samples!
Damien Symonds Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Yes, it's not a skill you pick up instantly. For now, you can simply copy mine.
Linda Sutton Posted January 9, 2018 Author Posted January 9, 2018 At last....I didn't get the colour the same as you did but at least I got the background replaced. This is only a practice photo and I learned a lot! Thanks Damien.
Damien Symonds Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Did you Option-click on my mask (to view it in black-and-white)? You'll see I gently applied it between the legs as well, to calm down those reflections.
