EmmaBrett Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I have been asked by my dad to take these three scans and to turn them into a canvas. First thing to do is to retouch the images, then cut them out from their current background. I will need to make a new background and place the photos on it. How would I make a new background? Is these even possible to make look like we were all in the same room together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Yeah, I reckon it's feasible. It's so great that all the backgrounds are the same colour - blue - albeit varying shades. We can work with that. May I see 100% crops from each face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaBrett Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 I am so glad that it is possible. I think this project is going to be a great learning curve for me. Crops attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmaBrett Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Already feel out of my depth! Do you know if this filter/action is available for the Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmaBrett Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 I think this project may be beyond my skills. I have the filter but can't make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaBrett Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 I have got this far using the action and it says stop and use a soft brush set to black and paint the stars except the one in the middle. But there are no stars to paint. Don't know where I am going wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 No, something's gone wrong. At that stage, it shouldn't look like a photo, it should just look like digital gibberish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaBrett Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 ill look for the action again may be this one doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaBrett Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 I have tried to download the PC version of the FFT action but the download page doesn't work and I can't seem to get hold of one for a Mac that will work. Do you have any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Please don't worry about an action. You don't need one. The only important thing is the filter itself. Have you installed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaBrett Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 have done the FFT filter and attached jpegs. What's the next challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Now you clean up the photos. Yours will need Dust & Scratches filter, and your dad's will need noise removal, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaBrett Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 one down 2 to go. I cleaned up the photos and whitened her teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaBrett Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 I have been following your dust and scratches filter tutorial and settles on radius 3, threshold 8. I added a layer mask and started to mask off my hands, arms, the bow, my dress, hair, face and hat. The speckles have come back there how do i remove them? Tried to use the spot healing brush tool but it didn't work. Where am I going wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 3 is too much. I would have used 2/8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmaBrett Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Is this of my dad ok?

For pete's sake, why are you masking? That undoes the good work of the filter. Sure, some masking might be necessary, but only in very tiny places.

Damien Symonds Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Now, add a new (white) layer mask. Zoom in to 100%, and pan around the important parts of the image, which turning the D&S layer off and on, and examining everything very carefully. Paint black on the mask in any tiny areas where the D&S is causing genuine harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
