Bikalpag Posted May 7, 2016 Hello Damien, How can I remove shadow that is on the wall. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted May 7, 2016 Definitely don't attempt to remove it. It's too difficult. Instead, replace the whole background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bikalpag Posted May 8, 2016 Thank you Damien, Did you use the Gradient layer video method of the above mention link?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted May 8, 2016 That's right, but a radial one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bikalpag Posted May 8, 2016 Thank you for your help Damien but I could not figure out which swatch control which area. I couldnot go further then this step. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted May 8, 2016 As I mentioned earlier, I used a radial gradient rather than a linear one, but I think what you've done here will totally work. Go ahead and start your precise masking now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bikalpag Posted May 8, 2016 How is this Damien. As you have suggested I use Radial gradient instead the linear one. (Please excuse my masking skill ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted May 8, 2016 Just use a two-colour gradient - dark to light. It looks a bit weird having that dark circle behind his neck. Otherwise, this is good. Now zoom WAY in and start masking properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bikalpag Posted May 10, 2016 Thank you for your time and effort Damien. Here is the better quality 100% crop of the red mark. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien Symonds Posted May 10, 2016 Oh yeah, that looks much better quality. I think the Handyman Method will work just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bikalpag Posted May 11, 2016 How is this Damien?? I tried handyman method and use the eyedropper/brush method. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samantha LaRue Posted May 11, 2016 I can still faintly see the shadow in the last one you just posted. I think you may have reduce the opacity on the gradient layer by accident? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
