Patricia Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 All, I have been on a long sabatical from photo editing, and it seems that all my photoshop brain pixels have left earth :-(. It is a raw file, nothing done to it yet. What is the best way to ensure the background is evenly white, while the shadows will still be there? I did a search and run into this article. However, as I think overall the background is okay, I am unsure if I need to replace the whole thing. If yes, would I also need to add noise, eventhough the background is white? http://www.damiensymonds.net/preventing-banding-in-backdrops/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Damien, yes, I meant reflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Ok, great. Well, it should be a very simply matter of adding a white Solid Color layer, and masking it on. No gradients needed, nor any noise. Very straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 What do you think, Damien? Next time I need to pay attention where the tile boards are on the floor. Can you see the left foot of the sister on camera left; you see reflection being cut due to the 2 tile boards. I tried to use the blur tool, and then a bit of the patch tool, but you still see it. Do you have a suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I can't see it, no, but from what you describe, I'd say gentle low-opacity cloning would be the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 I will try that. Is my edit okay? I am rusty.... Enjoy your Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
