OlgaR Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Damien, what would be the best way to remove the glare from the glasses? Thank you! (I've done raw processing and levels work. No sharpening has been applied yet) Edited April 29, 2016 by OlgaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 3 hours ago, OlgaR said: For the camera-right eye, simply patient low-opacity cloning. For the camera-left eye, a Levels layer: Red channel 75/1.00/255 Green and Blue channels 85/1.15/255 Then mask on at low opacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien, stupid question... what would you consider "low-opacity"? Are we talking about 10% or more like 3%? And also, any tips regarding the target area when cloning? Did you sample from the upper lid and then kept resampling as you went along or did you sample from a different area of the face? Thank you!!

Damien Symonds Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 For this, 10%, I think. And yes, constant resampling from different areas. Patience is the key. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download the PSD file First, duplicated the Background layer and did a bit of basic cloning and healing, with the main intent of getting one good eye. Then I copied some chunks of that eye as needed, moved them over and used them to repair the other eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlgaR Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Ooh, thank you so much for both answers and the file! I'll have to play with it tomorrow. Last few questions: for the Healing part, you use the Spot Healing brush with Content Aware (not the Healing brush), correct? When you copy the chunks of the eye, you just select, copy and paste, right? No need to worry about it being a smart object or anything like that?

Damien Symonds Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Actually, it was the Patch Tool. For the patch on the far left. No, not select-copy-paste. Select then Ctrl J. Technically they probably should be a smart object, but I think we can get away with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien, don't kill me, but where is there a Patch tool in PSE? I have Spot Healing, Clone stamp and Sponge, but cannot find the Patch tool.

Damien Symonds Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Oh, I'm so sorry, no, there isn't. Never mind, cloning will do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlgaR Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Alright.. One down, one to go. How did I do? (And also, when cloning, what is the best way to be able to undo what was done? I think the eraser is destructive, right? I've been using a layer mask, but wanted to make sure there isn't a better way. Thank you!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cloned something in the right place, but just the wrong colour or whatever, simply clone over it. But yes, if you cloned onto an area that wasn't supposed to be cloned onto, masking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlgaR Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Phew! That was much more difficult than I thought. I ended up leaving some of the glare on the camera Right eye because otherwise I'm struggling to make the inside corner of the eye to look realistic. Thoughts? Thank you!
