How to "flat" jeans pocket with wallet ?

[Eran]

Didn't notice the guy had a wallet in this pocket and it ruins the picture.
Any easy way to remove it / flatten ?

This is a common problem, actually.

Once you've done the raw processing, can you show me a 100% crop of that area?

The image on top was after levels ...

Here is the 100% crop from SOOR

Oh , Ok.
I didn't plan on asking critique on this specific image since I didn't like it (but client wanted it).

Posted SOOR in class.

Ok, that's much better.

Based on your fixed SOOR, here's a PSD file: http://mbf.cc/aYy0KU

First Liquify to reduce the overall shape of the phone; followed by dodge and burn to improve the shadows.

I probably should have been more aggressive with the Liquify, but I hope you get the idea.

What does the star icon with the word "featured" means on this post ?

That there is a PSD in this thread.
