[mazzara]

Hi, new here. Just discovered - hope to exchange a lot

here is my current situation - we shoot a model in bikini - several poses.

after some poses sited inside the car, the model got her skin full of seat marks. we have a set of 80 images in the same situation. I need to finished them for web posting.

also the model has some big white spot on her leg.

how to get it done fast? is it cloning ans stamping the best and faster solution?

somemone care to help?
thanks.

selected the area within the circle on the right side copied to a new layer Gaussian blur 2.7 then used a plug in from Imagenomic called grain surgery sampled grain from the original photo and then matched grain on the new layer. Took about 1 minute. If you dont have that plug in just use the add noise filter set at 1.9 to 2.0. first photo is with add noise filter.

Have used a very small healing brush
finishing off with a low setting for noise reduction (Imagenomic)

unimatrix001 thanks for your quick help. as the photos are for web a max 600x494 I want to avoid hours of dodge and burn... this will do the trick.

smurfing, thanks for your help too.

Was reading some discussion here on High Pass and frequency separation - amazing - lots that I didn't know - but I think it will take too long for the current purpose.

I'll share the result later.

cheers

Think that the patch tool might do the trick, it's the obvious one that comes to my mind right now...(for the car seat marks I mean)

Cute. in future if you rub her ass with a warm hand, with the words "think of our retoucher", you'll find that the problem sorts itself out. Hours! jeez.

How do I apply for that job?

You won't get that done on 80 images fast with really good results. For web imagery I could see a bit of healing brush work and cloning set to lighten or darken modes. A little burning and dodging is probably inevitable on the larger spots unless you're using something like that cheesy blur/highpass technique, and that really looks awful. It just doesn't leave the feeling of skin or texture and still doesn't take care of all of these problems.

edit: doh! didn't see how small these were going until I'd already posted this, yeah you can get away with cheap techniques at such a low resolution
