Tutorial: How to repair a chopped subject

lynnma

Working with the original drag onto a new canvas and start cloning in the background.



Using the liquifying tool "push" the nose out a little.. I also used the "bloat" tool, just one little tap to give it a little oomph and roundness.



I use the "patch" tool to blend the edges of the cloning, I also cloned the white background around the nose, used the "sponge" tool to soak up some of the white and then "burned" it just a tad as it was very white.



I used the "blur" tool to soften the edge of the green making it look more natural and less noticable and cropped it.



End result.



Rutt, the originals are here ... hope it's ok..:D

That is great info, Lynn. Now I can save many more photos, lol. Of course, for those one really wants, like family, dogs, etc. This is great info. I have had this problem.

Wow, thanks Lynn. Vickie is camera shy and always in motion and it's really hard to get a good shot of her. Saving this one mattered to me. Thanks.
