Covering up the Bra

Aaron Wilson

What is the best way to make the bra non see thru? Is there a way to darken the shirt color? Should I clone the shirt from a diffrent spot?

this photos's aspect ration appears to have been distorted.

I would try cloning from the adjacent shirt. I've had good luck doing this, but you have to be careful in such a large area. Try cloning from the perimeter inward to achieve a more natural look.

I would probably use the clone method that you mentioned to get rid of the "shiny" places . . .

and re-evaluate the use of fill flash if I ever shot the same model wearing the same outfit again!

You might also be able to use the "burn" tool set to "highlights" (and probably set at only 5 - 10%) to slightly darken the hot spots. That approach might be a little harder to blend.

There may be better solutions but those would be my first thoughts.

If you have Photoshop CS try using the "patch" tool.. it's a clone tool with a wider area and clones more evenly..

Never tried that tool, thanks for the tip, Lynn.

For those with a fast connection, here's a quick little video tutorial on the patch tool.

You can also try double cloning, this will often help you achieve a nice clean replacement.

First select a fairly large brush with a slightly soft edge

set the clone tool to "Darken"

Clone the area (it will look like crap)

Now with the same brush set the tool to "Lighten" and clone over the same area

Viola' the area should now blend nicely, if you still have a few light edges try running over the area with the burn tool set to midtones at about 25
