Fix baby wrap

[Kristin Palmer]

Hi. I've got sections of a baby wrap that weren't thick enough, and as a result you can see the baby's knee and nappy through the wrap. Is there a way to make the wrap look thicker/less transparent? I've tried a bit of cloning but haven't managed anything that looks realistic. Thank you. Full image and crop attached.

Can we see your cloning attempt? That's the first thing that came to mind too.

Try this for me ... add a Channel Mixer layer, and use these values:

Red 0, +86, 0

Green 0, +96, 0

Blue 0, +115, 0

Mask it on loosely and see what you think.

[Kristin Palmer]

It worked well thank you. It did leave a little light patch where I had masked, but I corrected it with levels.

Did you calculate the values for the channel mixer by trial and error/experience, or based on sampling the colour of the wrap itself?

I'm sorry I can't attach a crop of the correction. I'm getting an error that I've exceeded 14.65MB.

That's odd.  Can you try again now?  Make sure you resize for web first, of course.

Okay works now.

 

(If you're interested, when I went to repost the crop, I accidentally selected the wrong file to attach, and it happened that the file in question was too large. I said Okay to the error, went back and tried to select the crop, but the same error occurred, even though the file I was selecting was small enough. I restarted my session and then was able to upload the crop without any issues. A small bug you could report to your provider if you can be bothered)
