I did a lousy job on the Cigar, the dog, eyes, a good job on the man's eyes. I also need to get out the tail light and the grease on the man's shirt.

My DV counselor said that she would be glad to put flyers up in her office for me to take pictures of people for money. I'm scared to get started though. I'm scared I'll fail or let people down.

what a cute doggie!
beautiful colors!
Do you touch up in some photo edit place program, you could "touch it up and post it again if you want to. I don't understand how you can get the grease stain off his shirt??????
that sounds really hard to do.

Yes redo it and show the new version.

Bizi, I think you clone a area of the shirt color where it is normal and then apply the fix over the spotted areas.

Barb you can give it a try for the experience of it.

I think you have a talent. And honestly should give it a try.

But definately redo the picture and show us it again.

I wish I was that talented.

Thank you all.

Jo, I never thought about using the clone stamp. What I thought about doing in PS is using the color sampler eye drop to get the foreground color the same as the shirt. Then I would use the brush tool to paint the color over the grease spots.

Bizi, I use Photo Shop for the editing. What I did when I edited the eyes was zoom in on them and use the brush tool to paint in the color I wanted. When you zoom in your able to paint an area and when the picture is back to normal you don't see the imperfections of the brush or paint job. You can see my response to Jo as to how I would get the exact color.

Thanks for the compliment Donna.

Thanks Bizi.

Here's the same pic after some editing. I am not happy with the way the the shirt looks after blotting out the stains. I can see no also the strokes of black when blotting out the car rear view lights. I've got some practicing to do.
