Hello Photoshop masters, having a bit of trouble fixing this picture and its driving us nuts.

The light streak over the face, I would assume the rest of the streak wont be a big deal but if you feel like it you can give tips on that too!
THANKS! :D

Hi Adam and welcome.

Removing lens flare can be a chore and there are many acceptable techniques.

I like to make a feathered selection of the affected area using the Elliptical Marquee Tool.
I then copy the selected area to it's own layer using Command/Control + J.
I then clip a Hue & Sat adjustment layer to the new layer, isolate the offending color (in this case green) and adjust it as far out as possible.

Then it's a matter of creating a new layer and using the Clone Stamp and Brush Tool to clean it up.

I did this kinda fast and it could still use some work.

I actually looked in on this thread yesterday and was thinking of giving it a go, but when I went back all I could find was a post from Zeealex.

So maybe some moderator magic have been flung this threads way. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure what happened with this thread, it was up and running yesterday without any apparent problems. Today I find it moderated.........not sure what's going on. I'll keep my eye on it.

[EDIT]

I was online as the original post came in, I clicked it and halfway through reading it the auto-refresh kicked in and the post vanished.
It then came back but totally different wording and without an image.
Then it vanished again.

The next thing I saw was Sams reply to what could have been the original post but having only read half of it I wasn't sure which of the original posts he was answering.

The original post never materialised in the several hours I was still online.

Now its back again, which 'looks' like the very first original post but I couldn't say for sure.

I blame either Adobe or Microsoft....between them they seem to have 'Screw ups' down to a fine art. :rofl:

Regards.
MrTom.

PS...I also got the post from Zeealex...aparantly she's got the PSD's and she's ready when we are.
