Long cuff

[meris]

 

Having a problem with a short jacket. Is there an easy way to extend this given the wrong angle and I'd need to add a bend to it? I'm looking at a few shots like this, and a couple with arms straight that are easier.

Oh gosh, this is unfortunate, isn't it?

May I see the whole photo, or at least more of the guy, for context?

[meris]

 

Yes, we couldn't get the sleeves to stay in.

 

This one is harder, with no hand and the thumb on the other side to deal with.

The second one, though, has a complete smooth curve of the suit cuff to work with (whereas in the first one it's partially obscured by the shirt).  We might be able to work with that.

Can you do the raw processing then post those two snippets again?

[meris]

Sure, here it is https://www.dropbox.com/s/ypn85cfj3fvdr0e/sleeves.zip?dl=0

[Damien Symonds]

No, just post them here as usual.

So I'm thinking it'll have to look like this?

[meris]

Yes I think that looks OK.

How do you make the edges of the material? If I cut and paste the ends are just pixels suddenly coming to a stop.

Ok, cool.  Well, as you can probably tell, I just used the cuff from the other photo, and swapped it in.

[meris]

Wow that's tough doing that. Managed but took ages. Masking it out and matching the edges. Any tips?

 

[Damien Symonds]

Well, matching the edges is done by lowering the opacity of the layer.  The same way you'd do it for a head swap.

[Damien Symonds]

How did you go with this, @meris?

[meris]

Yes did exactly as you said, then just adjusted color to match the sleeve.

Thanks!
