Kiwiellis Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 My client has asked me to edit out the white color of her daughter's bra that is kinda showing through her sweater dress. I don't know the best way to do this. I created a new layer and changed the blending mode to color, then sampled the color of the sweater dress and painted that color over it with the brush mode also set to color. It's very subtle and it didn't quite get rid of all the whitish color showing through, I don't think. What is the best way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? I'm attaching a before and after pic of the fix I attempted. Honestly, it's hard for me to completely see what my client is talking about - I think some of what she is seeing is just the lighting, and it's lighter in the areas facing the light source? I may have been looking at this way too long. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 This is going to sound seedy, but I'll need a 100% crop of her chest so I can see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwiellis Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Actually, here's an even better picture of the problem, on a different image. I have done no editing at all to this one yet, but this one makes the problem much more obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 For the second photo, a Solid Color layer on Soft Light mode: 107/81/87. For the first photo, can you do the raw processing then show it to me again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwiellis Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Wow! The solid color layer looks great. I did a little cloning to remove the hard bra line, but the color is dead on. I really wish I understood color like this. How can I get better in this area? Are you able to explain how you arrived at the exact color for that? Because I've got several images in this dress that I am going to have to fix. And with the images being at different locations and lighting, they are not all going to be the exact same color I don't think. And speaking of me being terrible at color, ? I did not even realize how off the White Balance was in the first one until I saw these two pics side by side, so I adjusted the white balance on the first image when I re-developed it. This is the SOOR of that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to explain how you arrived at the exact color for that? I just fiddle around with the values until it looked right. There's no science or "trick" to it, I assure you. 2 hours ago, Kiwiellis said: This is still a disaster. Post your raw edit in class please.

Kiwiellis Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Okay, I'm trying to post over in the Raw Deluxe Class Posting area, but the option to ask a new question or start a new topic is not available there for some reason. Any idea why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
