Flash shadow on the face

I had an outdoor family session this morning and he was quite grey and dull, so used flash off camera. Unfortunately, I didn't have my soft boxes with me so I got a few shadows on the face of the mother of his son. No matter what photo shop assistants out there who have a method to minimize the impact of the shadow?  You can see the picture here:

Dropbox - Gatesy - 9.jpg

I downloaded a view 100% of the affected area, then you can use if you wish. Click to expand and copy.

OK, looking at the problem, the shadow area is clearly delimited, that is going to be useful.  So I chose the shadow with a quick selection area and improve the contour and it gave a fairly high feather (3.0), I copied while the selection into a new layer.  The advantage of this is that it will simplify the masking.

Open an adjustment layer curves and hang it on the copied grey area.  Click the icon of the hand and the image on his right cheek, and then drag upward to match the area of shade No.  If the entire image is made, you don't clip the layer curves (the icon on the left)

You will find that you can solve most of it with the first curves layer, but there are a few deep shadows, so open a new layer of curves, hang it and adjust.  Ignore the first fix getting more light.  Invert the mask layer and paint back with a white soft brush.

This lets you close enough, but you'll be lucky to get a homogeneous solution at this stage, so that's where we cheat a little.

Select the top layer and make a layer merged copy (Shift Ctrl Alt e)

Open the filter Camera RAW and apply some clarification negative to soften skin tones and some of the objects of our edges of curves layer.

Now select the Patch tool, select one of the objects and drag to a clean skin area.  This will be same on the tonal range in difficulty to remove the artifact.

Repeat for the other problem areas.

Negative clarity will have softened the whole image, then add a layer mask and reverse.  Peindre paint in front of the White Lady, and then masked her eyes, teeth, etc. with black.

    I assume you are using Windows Live Photo Gallery
    for editing? Back to the original version of the photo...
    Left click in the option "Cancel" until the unwanted
    Edit is deleted or until the gray option out.

    When you use the "Fix red eye"... enlarge the eye by
    Zoom with. Carefully drag the box so it only
    borders the red eye area. Releasing the
    mouse button activates the change. In some cases, you
    may need to use the tool 'fix red eye"more than once.

    If you make a box larger than the red area of the eye
    and if there are shades of red in the region of the face... they can
    be obscured. The tool detects red in the selection box
    but has no way of knowing if it's in the eyes or elsewhere.

  • bleached on the face of a baby

    Hi people,

    One of my daughter's friends offered to take pictures of my grandson. I know that they were taken with a Nikon 3100 and I know the shutter speed and f stop but I have no idea of used lighting - I assume that flash bounced off the ceiling. The pictures are sharp, but in most of them, his face is as white as a sheet of paper. He is 4 months old and he has a normal, smooth, pink skin. I was able to make the complexion a little 'human level' by manipulating the the white balance, contrast, exposure, clarity etc. sliders in LR, but the result is not nice to 100%. Is there a a way to refine the results in Ps by adjusting the levels of colors or by any other method?

    Thanks in advance!

    An old standby for help faded images is to put a layer of double or two (or three...) on top, with the blending mode set on multiply, you may need to add a mask to keep the open shade.

    Needs some additional tweaking, but you get the idea.

  • CS5 - add drop shadow to the text?

    I am trying to add drop shadow to the text, however, I do not see the sign "filters". I don't know how to activate it.

    I uploaded a screenshot of my current work space, maybe someone can tell me where to go to activate the window/Panel filters: http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/8669/dropshadow.jpg

    You target a player prior to version 8?  If so, to activate the filters, you need to change your target Flash Player.

  • Flash CS3 with the old flash files

    I'm using flash to make the files that play other swf files that worked very well problems...
    Problem 1:
    What I have are swf files are a preloader that loads another swf inside file. They play very well until I tried to put them in a html page. This is how they have been all along, in an html page, and they worked. somehow now the SWF (the preloader that loads the swf file) will not play, just white. (example of this is on points following page to the left click down the face with sunglasses on this subject http://www.christykarpinski.com/videos/myeyes.html )
    Problem 2:?
    I tried to make new files with the same preloader model that I had used before, but with newly made swf files loaded in it and he won't play at all.

    So I tried to make a new preloader file (found a model online) and used this but it happens just to where I was in problem 1. they work, but not once I put them in the html page.
    Problem 3:
    I tried to make new files flash with the new loading until a former SWF preloader and it won't play properly. (here on this page, click on the second square in and then your suppose to be able to click three times and get different images - this employee to work - http://www.christykarpinski.com/videos/myeyes2.html)

    But if I do load a new SWF works fine (except as noted above, not when I put it in an html page)

    I guess Im wondering if all this has to do with the help of CS3 now and old files deployed on CS (or could even MX I don't remember now)? no idea at all would be great. any ideas what I can do?

    I'm sure ive left something, it's a bit overwhelming trying to keep all straight. and frustrating

    That must be it. I could not get to work with the new model preloader, he just had a lot of mistakes. but when I used the old model preloader, it worked fine.
    Thank you!!!

  • Ignore the faces in the photos for macOS Sierra

    I got a lot of photos with the crowds in the background. The photos app is grateful to all those faces (a few thousand). Is there a quick way to ignore them permanently?

    There is no 'ignore' for people. You can either let sit them in the section "add people" from the album of the people or add them all at once, then select them all and hide. but hiding people also will exclude all the photos of that person to the memory. If offenders are in the background of a photo you want to use in the memories, you can not hide the person.

    If you use brute force and delete the circle with the face detected from a photo, you end up with white, featureless faces thumbnails in the album of the people.  I did this however and clicking the X on the circle of faces to remove the detected face. Then I merged all of the tiles white album a great person 'delete' and hope a bug fix in a future version to get rid of white tiles. Repair of the photo library does not solve it.

  • OS3 and auto return to look at the face

    Hi all

    until the upgrade, if I was looking at an app, weather for example and then lowered my wrist, the next time I was looking at the watch is automatically back to the face of the watch, not the weather app. Now, this does not work and I can't seem to find the setting to choose this behavior.

    Any ideas?

    See you soon

    Waddo

    Hi Waddo

    On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > screen Wake - under the heading 'on screen Wake see the latest App', choose "While in Session".

    If that is already selected, but your watch does not regain the dial of the watch after the use, for example, the weather app, then the following steps can help:

    • Choose a different setting (for example to 8 Minutes of last use), wait a few moments and then change it back to the session.
    • Return the dial of the watch manually (by pressing the digital Crown) of any existing application, open before testing if the change came into force.
