Natalie C Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 What method would you suggest for smoothing out the wrinkle in the blanket in front of baby's shoulder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hmmm ... that will depend on the texture, I guess. May I see a 100% crop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hmmm ... when you saved the jpeg file for upload just now, what Quality Level did you choose? It looks quite degraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalie C Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 5. Too low I guess. I'll give you a better one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Gosh yes, 5 is always too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I urge you to read Module 11 of the class again, by the way. Regarding the wrinkle, plain old Patch Tool might work fine, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalie C Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Ok, I will read it now. I don't think I have ever used the patch tool, I will give it a whirl. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I don't have a video about it, sorry, but you'll find some on YouTube, I imagine. It's very simple, just circle the area (with a little bit of buffer around it) then drag the area onto another area of similar texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalie C Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Better? On to patch tool, I'll let you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natalie C Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 ha, that's because I made a dumb mistake and just copied my pixel edit layer from the old file and put it right above my nice new (hopefully less noisy) edit... ok, try now.

Damien Symonds Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalie C Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 I think I'm on the right track with the patch tool, I need to keep working on the rest of the backdrop. Do you have any articles about patch tool best practices or when you recommend using it over other methods? Thanks for all of your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 If you search my articles for "patch tool" you'll find a few references to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
