Help with removing something, please!

[Tori]

Hello.

I've tried to do this myself, but I just can't get it right. Could someone please remove the hair from my cheek in this photo?

Hi Tori and welcome to PSG

I'm just curious as to why you feel the need to remove the hair, to me it looks more natural the way it is.
That been said exactly how much of the hair are you looking to remove?

I feel like the chin looks too short, so perhaps removing the hair would make it look better. I think this much would be enough:

EDIT: I have removed this image. It was a rough used to demo. It was posted before I saw the OP's example of what should be removed.

I agree with gedstar, the picture with removed hair ( although IamSam made great work ) looks worse.

I agree! Looks much better in the original!

I think the problem with the IamSam made i need shadows or the face seems a little inflated.

i can't see your second picture Iamsam.

You are right but :
A this is where painting starts, that is no more just correction but serious artistic work.
B I am convinced even a perfect picture without hair would be worse than the one with hair.

Remember, this was a rough.


Since there is not an answer. Here's what I have.

Here's a go from me, hope it works.

Very good job Sam...though she doesn't look natural anymore. But maybe this is just me?

 

[Argos]

Is normal it doesn't look natural, is a job made in 10, 20m?

 

[Argos]

to much hitchcock on the chin maybe?

Is it just me that notices things like what appear to be paw prints on the wall, what looks like a bruise on her shoulder, and the deep shadow of her arm on the wall? I think all these anomalies, plus all the grain /noise detract from what could be a great picture. I think the basic concept, framing, sepia color, low key treatment are all wonderful, but because of the problems, personally, I would regard this is as just a good first draft, and that if at all possible, the OP should get someone to re-shoot it who could implement the concept better and come up with a real winner.

Just my $0.02 (or less - LOL),

PS - And, yes, Chris, I also think that some of the naturalness has been lost.

 

[IamSam]

Everyone is talking about naturalness being lost...........please explain yourselves!

I prefer the original myself, bit if the OP wants this changed, then why don't we try and help.

 

[Argos]

you are right here is my first atempt.

 

[IamSam]

Yeah, I see what you mean. It doesn't look natural. The hair coming back to a point doesn't look right. It might if it were underneath the other hair, as if it were tucked over her ear.

 

[Argos]

Second, fix a little bit the hair.

 

[IamSam]

That looks much better.
