How do you edit out...camel toe?
Ok so I have a client who wants the cameltoe taken out of their engagement photos. To be honest I didn't even notice it when editing. Perfect example is the second photo on the left. Any suggestions! I've tried a few times and it just ends up making him look like....he has a big package. Which I guess isn't horrible but it looks edited. Any help? Erica Nov 30 12 06:26 pm Link Content-aware fill should do it, but a tip for the future: never shoot straight into anybody's crotch. All you really need to remove is the shadow of the crease. Nov 30 12 07:06 pm Link Well aside from the prior poster's reply....why do you need to edit that out? It's not a fashion shoot.

I achieved this: Thanks I read that BUT doing that on a significant number of images is not cost effective unless she is paying! Nov 30 12 08:32 pm Link Illuminate wrote: +1.

Nov 30 12 08:55 pm Link Moose knuckle? MOOSE KNUCKLE?????? I'm just so outta the loop when it comes to current names of "things".

Nov 30 12 09:25 pm Link i think they're called moose knuckles  Nov 30 12 10:16 pm Link I got a camel toe on model under her arms! seems the skin folded up into that dreaded look when she lowered her arms. luckily i managed to edit it out cropped her from the shoulder up!

Dec 01 12 01:14 am Link While I saw it was shot at a zoo I was looking for a real camel, but didn't find any. If you are describing the folds around his * nuts, well you can just clone stamp in lighten mode until you smooth that out. Leave a hint though of depth so do it at a reasonable opacity and or flow.

She's simply seeking advice on fixing an issue with these images at her client's request. If she hadn't posted any pictures this thread would have been spammed with "got any samples to show your problem?" for comments. To OP, you can clone from the nearby fabric at a low opacity and go over the folds. To erase them completely would look unnatural, but you can make it less bold. And be aware of fabrics that crease like that for future shootings. This could have been dealt with during the shooting by having the guy even his trousers when he sat down  Dec 01 12 03:13 am Link Sometimes I worry about people who think MM is the centre of the Universe and everyone knows about it and looks through every forum every day. I doubt the OP's clients even know MM exists, and they probably wouldn't give a damn about the posting of the pics here if they did know. Some people just have to negative. I would clone nearby areas to lighten the crease, although it might look odd and draw attention to the area. I'd do the "worst" shots and offer them to the clients for approval. The clients might have unrealistic expectations about what can be done with Photoshop.

Never heard that either Dec 01 12 01:08 pm Link Clone stamp, clone stamp + painting + reduced opacity, paint over it + noise + reduced opacity, new layer + healing brush + reduced opacity, choose one but as some people said - don't remove it completely because it will look weird.

Dec 03 12 01:25 pm Link One. It's photos on my blog and they have been up there for a while. So I'm not posting proofs no one hasn't already seen. Two. I thought you couldn't see posts unless you had an account here. So I didn't think it was a danger since why would my clients have an account here. Three. I would hire someone to edit it, I don't have a problem doing that. But some of the people's help here did assist. Four. It wasn't something I was looking for during shooting, as I've never had an issue like this ever come up. Five. I don't feel it's necessary to be rude when someone is posting an honest question. It's unprofessional. I didn't realize this post had gone on and on as I had gotten help and then haven't checked back. I felt I was being professional as this is a private forum and didn't fear my clients would ever see this post. Some of you take yourselves much too seriously. Six. Thank you to those who were actually trying to be helpful. Jan 02 13 07:52 pm Link The first poster I think had the solution. I think it's wrong to take away his manhood myself! WTF? Why does he want his package removed... Just to prove she now has junk in her pocket? Jan 02 13 08:05 pm Link |
