Photoshop :: Removing A Dark Sun Shadow On Portrait
Apr 3, 2006
I am trying to correct a very old photograph that was taken in the 1930's time period. This is a picture of a soldier that has a very dark shadow from the sun on half of this face. How can I remove this shadow and have a natural look?
This is an old Kodak PCD image of a stained glass window converted to a TIF and a small portion made into a JPG for the purpose of this illustration. I would like to make 2 corrections:
1) I would like to accentuate the brush marks in the face. From my humble notions of PS I know that pulling the contrast slider across isn't really the answer but something like finding the fainter, darker pixels and accentuating them with some kind of mask is more the way to go.
2) There is an outdoor shadow that runs up the left hand side of the image which I would like to eliminate.
Do any of you have any tips or ticks for removing a drop shadow from a flattened image?
I have a jpg that I received from a client for a website I'm doing for him. He does not have the logo in any other format. The image is on a white background, which will not work with the design I'm making for him.
The image is fairly simple, it's just some text with triangles, but the text has some layer effects applied to it that I'm not sure where they came from or how to recreate them.
Any ideas on how to remove the drop shadow? I have attached part of the image. If any one has ideas on how to recreate the text effects (including the texture) I am willing to do that and recreate the logo instead of trying to edit out the drop shadow.
I have a pillow bevel applied to a paint splatter brush image, and I'm having trouble with the shadows. I want to save this splatter as a transparent PNG. The problem is that a drop shadow effect is showing up when I save it this way. I think it's a "shading" setting rather than a true drop shadow, as there is no drop shadow set in the layer styles.
The shadow does not appear when a white background is applied. It only shows when the background is transparent. I've tried reducing the shading opacity in the bevel dialogue, and this does get rid of the drop shadow....the problem is that it also removes the shading from the paint splatter, making the image look flat instead of raised.
My friend has taken some engagement photographs and unfortunately the couple have dark hair and the background is also dark - I think you can see her problem with the photos. Somehow the background needs to be lightened and neither of us know how (we both have Photoshop 7)
I don't know if this problem was already there in earlier 3ds max versions, but i cant find anywhere on the internet how to create a shadow on a invisible plane like matte shadow could :
where we could load an image in to CS3 or CS4 with smart objects, soften the image with the slider in ACR, and edit in CS3 to remove the softening on the eyes, lips, hair etc. I tried to duplicate the trick at home but never could and now that I'm doing some portraits, I could really use that capability.
where I can find some Backdrops that I can add behind my pictures? I am wanting it to look like I had these pictures done in a pro studio. I have some good portraits but I don't like the backgrounds.
how to make a nice portrait backdrop? It's for the school yearbook and this kid was a jerk... and well we had to take his picture cuz we wouldn't go to a real photographer. So I need to put in a fake background.
see my screeenshot in Adobe CS6, Photoshop -- cropping an area in portrait size 2x3 and NOT landscape 3:2.
Why ignores PS this setting and shows me first a landscape area in 3:2 instead of the chosen portrait area in 2:3? Yes, I can rotate the selection via "x" -- but that's cumbersome.
I recently had a photoshoot where we used a bed sheet behind my family subject. In a particular picture, the bedsheet was below their heads and it's distracting. I want to extend the fabric to fill in the gap at the top.
I have a document with two pages, and each page is two pages wide.
The document needs to be four pages on top of one another, but I don't know how to convert the original. I know how to change landscape/portrait views in Preferences, but the document itself is two pages wide.
if I have a portrait photo and want to change it to a landscape photo. I used resize to change the the dimensions of the photo but the results make the photo a bit distored.
i have a lovely picture that is taken in landscape and i want to change it to portrait so i can print it and hang it. how do i do this with out losing qualtiy in the print.
How would I stitch two images together that are in portrait orientation so they display nicely in a slideshow template. My landscape images are sized to 1200 x 800 pixels which works very well with the slideshow template. I have Photoshop CS6.
I've bought a digital photo frame and need to crop hundreds of photos to 600x800 or 800x600 depending on the orientation. That is, I'd like to put landscape and portrait oriented photos in the same folder and batch process them. I know how to use the Image Processor (CS3) with a recorded Action to batch process a folder but I'm having trouble knowing how to create this action because of the orientation issue.
My first reaction was to use image/image size but can't get a single Action to work for both orientations. Any help would be much appreciated by me now and my mother at Christmas!
I loaded the photos into Iview Media Pro and forgot to save them as well as not saving to a CD or External hard drive. I cannot retrieve the photo on the cards. Is there any way to improve the quality of thumbnails in Iview to be able to be usable?
Photoshop is opening my landscape shots from my digital camera in portrait format. The thumbnail is landscape and Illustrator and all my other programs open it landscape.
I thought that I had saved some photos on my hard drive. I the did load the photos into Iview Media Pro so I do have the thumbnails. Is there anyway to improve the file to a usable size?
