Josie Stahl Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Hi Damien, is it possible to edit out the lettering on the tshirt? I've tried cloning and the texture made it really, really difficult. SOOC, SOOR, my attempt at using frequency separation, raw crop, crop with frequency separation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I think it might be possible, yes, with the help of some channel work. Can you go ahead and do the raw processing on the photo, then post again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Can you take the 100% crop again, and make sure you save it at really high quality? I can't see through the jpeg degradation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 You said you'd tried frequency separation, but it hadn't worked for you? It worked okay for me when I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josie Stahl Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 Wow!! That looks great! I don't consider myself a frequency separation expert at all. I just followed somebody's tutorial online that had previously worked for me. Can you tell me how you did it? Do you have a tutorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josie Stahl Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 Oh my word. That is not even remotely close to the frequency separation I did. I am going to try to copy what you did. If I can figure it all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 It's old school FS. People like me were doing FS way before it had a name. Duplicate the Background layer twice. Change both of them to smart objects. Hide the top layer, then apply Gaussian Blur to the bottom layer, to get rid of the texture. Add the blank layer and clone out the letters. (Not shown in the PSD) Group those two layers and add a layer mask to the group, and mask. Return to the top layer and apply the High Pass. Add the blank layer and smooth the texture using the Mixer Brush. Put both those layers into a group, then change the group blend mode to Linear Light, then add the layer mask and mask.

Josie Stahl Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Thank you for that explanation, Damien. When applying the High Pass filter, how do you decide on the setting for it? I just used the setting you did in your file. I am stuck on the mixer brush step. I have used the mixer brush exactly 1 time before today. I have played with it and watched some videos on how it works but I cannot find how to do what you did in that last step. Any advice you can give me or keywords to look it up myself?

I just used the setting you did in your file. Aim for the best representation of the stripes in the fabric. Too low, not stripy enough. Too high, other texture starts to appear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly new to it myself. I just used the default settings, and swiped aggressively with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
