Anyone know of a good way to reduce "fly-aways" in post processing?
I'm stumped.
Got some using the clone tool set to darken but the others.....
Thanks.

In Photoshop, use the Healing Brush and content aware fill. Don’t remove it all as there is always some flyaways.

Meanwhile, very nice picture.

Don't mind at all, but I do want to know how you did it.
Still playing with the healing brush.
I will have several to fix.

Please excuse my error...MMC is right that the correct tool is the SPOT Healing Brush. Set a brush diameter, use Type "Content Aware" then click and drag over the offending flyaway hair or hairs. The selected brush stroke should be replaced with a hairless background. Sorry for the misdirection. Here's a version that I have edited using that and the Clone Stamp.

Yes, Ifigured the spot healing brush was the one. Will give it a go again today. Thanks, everyone!

Also, I carry a dryer sheet and use it to tame static charges causing flyaways.

GoofyNewfie, you really did a great job taking this image. Although you may find the bits of fly-away hair distracting, it really is quite natural and to be expected and it does not interfere with her great face. When things are too perfect they can appear to be unreal and they can detract from the image.

Your subject is very pleasing and well composed and the focus is spot-on and she stands out from the background which draws the eye directly to her.
