    cleaning up photo using channels

    thanks John, when the filters are turned off with a smart object, does that then remove changes made by that filter ? when I flatten all layers, should i include them all , even include the original one with the errors, how do i determine which layers not to include in a flatten thanks opened a...

    cleaning up photo using channels

    Thank you John, yes I will have a look, I went back to a saved image before I messed up the boys leg and blended it into the pedal `arm` much better now. One question, when I flatten layers, should I flatten ALL layers including the original, only ask because the original layer had the...

    Difficulty cropping an image

    Hello i am sure I am missing something, but when I chose crop from the left tool bar, it seems very difficult to line up and to see how much I am cropping. Dragging the mouse is too severe, but using the left and right keys, move the crop line on both sides of the image. Obviously I am doing...

    thanks, you are perfectly right, I have a saved version before I made these changes, will go back and be more vigilant, thanks for being observant and pointing that out, it’s too easy to obliterate detail, with a misconception . Thanks again

    cleaning up photo using channels

    thanks jeff, will give this a practice also, I thought creating an extra layer gave safety, as if a mistake is made, the layer can be deleted, and go back to the previous one, is that just another way, or is one method better than the other, ?

    Rich54, do you think the shadow looks right on the left boys leg, these are things that don't have specific answers i suppose, but my artistic flair is zero, so rely on technology..... can i use the same process with colour photos with discoloration, or is that a different process ?

    Have applied some unsharp mask, wasn't sure about the shadow on the leg of the left boy, not sure if I've made it too dark, doesn't look to bad i think

    cleaning up photo using channels

    Hello John, i tried a single channel adjustment layer, i did as you suggested, had to adjust contrast to -8, looking good, so many ways to achieve the same thing. There's still a `band` or `patch` on both upper legs, where the colour was removed, i assume clone stamp will be the answer to this

    cleaning up photo using channels

    this is fascinating stuff, ok i did the B&W adj layer, the figures in your screenshot are different from the text, i tried both, the ones in the image gave good results, i assume its trial and error with the colours, continually observing the changes, so how does a smart object allow you go to...

    cleaning up photo using channels

    Thank you i first tried using convert to BfW, but it left a stain / watermark, where the discolouration had been, channels does work, but is that best avoided, pressing the key combination, gave differing results, sometimes I ended up with just one layer other times it returned the discoloured...

    cleaning up photo using channels

    Hello I did as you suggested, but (Shft+Ctrl+Alt+E). did nothing at all, well it actually bought the dis coloration back ? I am no doubt over simplifying this, but it would be easier if there were a tick box to apply changes the original file and a screenshot of what i achieved, I was very...

    cleaning up photo using channels

    Hi I am removing a colour hue from an old B&W photo, could be something was spilt on it. I used CHANNELS and only left the Blue selected, and it removed the colour very well. Then I used LEVELS which improved it even further, but I cant work out how to set the CHANNELS and LEVELS changes, I save...

    Struggling with a Photoshop basic function, copy & paste a selection

I need to copy a section of photo, a border, mirror it, paste to a different...

    Specific Remove person from photo

    You guys did these so well, what procedure / steps ? I tried my self, managed to cut out the unwanted person and select the one for moving, but couldn’t get the ground or steps to look good, tried content aware fill but wasn’t good, maybe should have used the clone tool ? Thanks again
