Armpit Hair and Photoshop
I have a PHENOMENAL image... that is excellent all around. However, the armpit is kind of bad. no hair, but dark stubs (pre-hair lol) I enhanced the image very will and don't want to waste this picture. Perhaps my positioning should have been better, but I didn't think at the time, What can I do. Here is an image of the culprit. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c41/T … titled.jpg Ignore the paint quality lol..

Mar 14 09 03:58 pm Link I may not be much help, but have you considered posting in the retouch thread? There are a lot of users who are really good at photoshop who may be able to help you out in removing the stubble without ruining the picture.

Then as you stamp the clear texture over the stubble, you will also lighten the hair growth into non-existence while keeping the skin texture. You may have to go back over it with the heal tool to get rid of tell-tale lines, but it will end up looking very natural. Mar 14 09 04:14 pm Link Looks like an easy clone out. Mar 14 09 04:32 pm Link wow, if I didn't know that was an armpit image I could almost guess it was an abstract of something else. Mar 14 09 04:37 pm Link I'm confused. Do you want to add armpit hair? Mar 14 09 04:43 pm Link Try "cloning" on "lighten" at about 40% with a "soft brush". Just keep going till it lightens up. I never take all of it out cause it will start to look flat and fake. :-) Mar 16 09 10:59 pm Link DODGE THAT PIT!!! (say it like a game show with pauses in between the words, it's fun  ) Then patch to clean it up a bit... Mar 16 09 11:14 pm Link |
