Sarah_ Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hello Damien, Here we are again with moire, which appears across many photos in the gallery. 100% crop - image is SOOR. Can you help please? The dark patch is baby dribble, also present in a few images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 It's pretty mild, I think we can use the easy option. Add a Solid Color layer of shirt blue, and set its blend mode to "Color". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thank you. That has done the trick. The only issue now is the colour of blue changes to more of a grey on the mans arm and collar. Is there an 'easy fix' or will i need to replicate the process using a new colour layer and try to blend together with masks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Oh, bugger. May I see the whole photo, so I can see what you mean? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Absolutely. Here it is... There's about 12 images in varying natural light with moire' present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thank you. So what I suggest is this: Duplicated the Background layer, then apply some Gaussian Blur to the whole photo. Just enough to get rid of the moire. I think about 8px should do it for this photo. Then change the layer's blend mode to "Color". Then add a mask to hide the blurred layer completely. Then paint to reveal on just the shirt where needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks. A beautiful fix on the finer moire' but there's still some big chunks lingering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 In an attempt at the next step I replicated your process and increased the gaussian blur slider until the chunky moire disappeared and masked on. It seems to have worked but has slightly changed the colour of the shirt in some areas. Obviously I'm jumping the gun here but thought I'd have a crack!

Damien Symonds Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Yeah, that's a good approach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_ Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Thanks. Do you think this is ok to finish now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Can you see how the top edge of the collar is now slightly skin-coloured? You'll need to mask that away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
