Elyse Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to replace the background behind the purple scarf? I have done a rough masking job replacing the background, and I am just wondering if there is a way to fix or atleast minimise how obvious the paling behind her scarf is. I have attached the SOOR, the edit and the 100% crop Thanks In Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I hadn't read that yet, but thankyou. Damien managed to write that article pretty much how the situation played out for me- except I never got the hooray at the end. I figured I'd have luck in blend modes and I tried pretty much exactly this but I struggle because the white is brighter than the rock I am trying to put in there, and I can't get the end result with the purple looking believable. Maybe I needed to have a more patient go... Gee I wish I was dealing with a white scarf, I feel I could have gotten it by now ?? wow Damien, you truely are the master! That looks so much better than any of my attempts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 How'd I do, if you don't mind me asking? BTW thank you so much, that was SO much simpler than all the ridiculous things I tried! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hmmm ... yours seems lighter than mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yes after going away and seeing yours before I scrolled down to mine, your right- I think I need to go with a slightly more opaque brush. I'll reattempt that! Thanks again ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Make sure you adjust the Blue channel on the Levels layer as well as the RGB channel. (In case you missed it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
