Need an Expert Photoshopper
Feb 22, 2013 11:28:39 #
Hi All. I am scanning negatives for a book I'm doing on family photos I've shot over 35 years. This one is direct off the scanner. I cleaned the neg thinking the mark on one boy's arm was dirt. But I think it is a wierd light reflection. I haven't been able to eliminate it properly. Is there a Photoshop expert out there who can do it for me? I'd be very grateful.
Boy on right, left arm reflection

We like to practice refining our skills. One more, tried to keep texture consistent with remainder of arm after color repair.

C'mon, guys, you're half steppin'. Nice repairs (really), but I'm more bothered by the blowout on the other kid's hand on the shoulder. Surprised no one fixed that.

Very good! Now about that bandaid....no, that would be counter-effective. That's a real keeper shot!

I looked at the band-aid, and the scar on the other knee, but thought they should be kept . . . it's part of being a kid!

Looks like a burn scar to me. Are you sure it really is an artifact?

Put it back! You're treating this shot like they were your own kids. :) Aren't they cool subjects before they get older and selfconscious.
