Blotch in old photo
Jan 12, 2012 20:53:28 #
I have an old photo of one of my wife's ancestors. It had lots of problems, but I've gotten rid of the scratches and creases; however, the unsightly cheek blotch seems beyond my knowledge at this point. I have PSE 10, but am in the learning stages.

CS5, essentially: loop select right side of face(feather 50 px)>layer via copy>edit>transform>flip horizontal>free transform>move and rotate into position on left side>flatten image.
Finished it off with a run through Portrait Professional and cloned a couple of areas (left eyebrow area).
Enjoy :roll:

Your welcome. I did this with PSE10, by using the content-aware and the self-healing brush.

Thanks for the complement.
I've done a bit of photo restoration in the past. It is always easiest on portraits to grab an undamaged area and paste it over the damaged area (flip, transform, move & rotate to match up). If you can't do that then you have to recreate ..... then the process becomes time consuming to do right.

Is this the actual original or one you've edited already ?
