help- problem with removing wires from bulb crown
Client wants this green wires removed from "crown" ...I dont think it is possible.. Anyone can do it ? any ideas? Thanks, J  Sep 09 15 10:12 am Link I do stuff like that all the time. There is even an example or two in my portfolio. I just use a very small, soft edged "paintbrush", (one or two pixels, or more, if needed), in Photoshop, and paint, on an upper, transparent, layer, over the "unwanted element", the background, as it would be without that element. If done skillfully, one can not spot it, even in a large print. It only depends on how much time you want to spend on the image. -Don EDIT: I see RED wires, NOT green ones.

Oh, that can be done ahead of time ! Sep 09 15 10:57 am Link I looked carefully. I can do it. It'll take some time. Sep 09 15 11:40 am Link If you click on a larger photo you will see that the client "marked" wires that wants to be removed wit red lines... So the red ones are "mark" lines. I usually dont do that sort of retouching (add or remove some objects if the client has other pics ...is what i do), I dont see any way of doing that and keeping it realistic. If anyone can fix that you can replay here, or send me an private msg and we can discuss about price/time and other details. Thanks J.

So the model will just have a bunch of light bulbs sticking out of her head? I would tell the client that will look ridiculous.

Sep 09 15 09:24 pm Link I can't see any hair on the reference picture either. In fact it looks like someone has sliced off the upper third of that model's head. As though she is being prepared for brain surgery. I'd tell her that it will be a lot less work to reshoot it with a black-haired model, with hair covering as much of the wires as possible, in a dark room so that the picture is barely viewable. Sep 09 15 09:45 pm Link Your client is better off reshooting that. You should have two shots. One with just the hair and second image with the lights on it. At least you can take samples of the first shot to cover the wires on the other pictures. In my opinion, right now you don't have enough areas to sample the hair from. Hope that makes sense. Sep 09 15 10:15 pm Link Yes it is possible - this will take a lot of time - better for do the shot again and provide "good" Material before invest a dozen of Hours to solve this.  Sep 10 15 03:32 am Link I agree with everything you said ...I just wanted to be sure that it s not me. I dont like saying that something is not possible, or it is very very hard to do, because I ve seen some "miracles" here on MM. Now i can explain to my client that there are maybe few people capable of doing it and it it would take a lot of time and it would be expensive too. Thanks a lot Sep 10 15 05:03 am Link |
