Logo and Bruise edit

[vbunnell]

I would love any advice on how to edit out these issues.

Hi Valery, you forgot the noise removal.  Can you do so, and repost the 100% crops for me?  (I don't need the whole photo again).

@vbunnell?

Sorry...life. 

I remember from a lot of my other help asking you've had me remove noise and it always seems overkill to me how far you want me to take it. So I'm curious what the rule is. The luminance on these is set to 25 but the overall image looks too smooth to me.

The rule is VERY simple - there must be NO noise.

This is better, but still noisy.  Keep going.

Yes, that's terrific.

This is the best method for the bruise: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/01/ridding-pesky-rainbows.html

Because a big chunk of the shirt logo intersects with the child's hair, it's not possible to cleanly remove the logo altogether.  So I'd recommend removing the top half.

Better than nothing. How do I do it?

Bit by bit.
