Title: Pete Sears pics
Post by: jdawg on May 14, 2008, 03:49:45 PM
ok, here's my finished collection of Pete Sears pics from last week. One problem though, I'd really like to fix that red nose of his in that first picture. Who has some ideas on what tools to use for that? Tried using the clone tool in PS7, not having much success. If someone wants to take a stab at it, let me know.

What, you don't like the clown-nose effect?    ;D

With PS, start with the Magic Wand tool.  Experiment with tolerances and once you've created a good selection of just the the red area, mess around different Image>Adjustments controls like Color Balance and Hue/Saturation.  I've never used Replace Color, but that might do exactly what you need. 


You have some nice pics there, #4 is awesome.  You can get rid of the purple fringing on his wrist and hand by using the Sponge tool since everything surrounding it is already gray.  Also, I'd clone out the bottle in the first two.

Awesome, thanks for the quick tips. I think the magic wand did the trick. The tolerance option definitely comes in handy. I'll go back later and update the original file, but here's the update to this smaller image.
