They are organgy sunglasses and my reflection is in them taking the picture...I tried using the spot heal but the image is complicated. Any tricks?

what software are you using?
 06/09/2006 11:00:50 AM · #3
Can you post an example? I sometimes will clone one eye to the other when that happens, that is unless your reflection is in both lenses.

This is easily fixed. Retake the picture. Don't be there.

cloning
patch tool
take another pic of the sunglasses (any sunglasses) and put it on a layer and transform it to be the right size
'remove' the sunglasses from the subject in the pic

Or try selecting and either darkening (curves, levels) to look like regular sunglasses or paint in new lenses. this will require some artistry...

Sorry about the fingers...lol!

Hell, a gradient might work if done with some skill...which I don't have, but I'm sure some of us here do.

copy the lenses to a new layer

use the healing brush alt click on a constant color, paint over the whole colored part of the lens, deleted any extras, put the layers back together.

select sunglasses new layer. gaugasion blur. erase on frame. gradient. erase frames. clone to make gradient level (your table is warped or something???) flatten.

edit- the warped part was your leg! lol

That's good! I just finished a quickie with basically the same approach, but yours is a little better, so there ya go!

It's been known to happen, dear... It's not like you don't have plenty of experience, with all the freckles you've had to PP out over the years, right?

Seriously, I don't consider myself an expert on "altering" photographs; I'm just run of the mill at that. What I'm good at is enhancing them.

Just a quick go. You can tell which ones of us have no real life at all, just sitting around looking for something to do in Photoshop.

I was getting basically the same stuff with my own attempts, I just didn't really care for the outcome. Thank you for all the help - I was hoping someone would just come in here and tell me how to work some magic with it.

Thanks for the best efforts.

I meant on what I was able to do...I didn't care for the gaussian blurs because the sunglasses lost their reflective qualities and looked fake.

It's cool, there is only so much photoshop can do.

That's why I tried to do it without blurring. Lots of patch tool and liquify filter. OK, some blurring, just to soften edges.
