Shadows(don't stand there please).

mr bizzare · 3 Oct 2009

I need help, took a photo using flash off the camera as I pressed the shutter a woman stood in front of my flash so I have a head shaped shadow in the middle of the shot, I can drive CS3/4 quite well but I need help with this one.
thanks Paul.:bang:

Did you mean to post the pic here? The problem is with something like that it's not just the light that's lacking - it also affects the colours and saturation etc so it's very hard to get a seamless fix.

If you post the picture it might be easier to judge if recovery is possible or practical

I seem to have a problem with this image posting. Thanks Janice.

I'd give that a go if there was a full size original to work with. I don't think it will be an easy task but it's a challenge

I take my hat off to someone that can fix that seamlessly. I would have given up on that one, but I appreciate you might not have the option to.

AndyB · 5 Oct 2009

Can I keep your hat if I do it?

Heres a quick-ish go, to fix half decently will take a lot of dodging/burning and selecting areas and ajusting ecposure, fixing the colours is another ball game, to be honest i'd give up on that.

Nothing is impossible - but somethings take a very long time and a lot of patience.

Sorry for delay I work away from home and my mobile internet has bin pants this week. Thank for your efforts, we have it done in B/W but I will keep at it until all avenues are exhausted. thanks Paul (Mr B)
