Freshysnapper Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I do this from time to time if something is in my way and I've had a few people ask about it. I don't take the time to make these perfect I just do it so the piece is 100% in view. I'm no expert in photoshop either. This can be done with an image of anything obviously. Not just benching. Roll through the spot and this rack is parked dead with a box in front of it, don't have time to wait for it to move? don't worry. Make sure you get a few shots from different angles to get all the parts you missed, select the missing spot, cut your selection, and duplicate it to a new layer on you original photo. Here is where you might spend some time. I took about 2 minutes to just stretch the layer around and get it to fit. You can sit here and clone pieces and mess with it all day to get it perfect. But I have other pictures to edit. Once you get it where you think it looks good select "layer" from the top menu and "flatten image". This will make it one layer so you can edit the photo as a whole again. At this point I will do the normal edit. I have it set up as a function now so it is just one click. But it's a sharpen, small brightness/contrast change, a bump in vibrance, and just a tish up in saturation on some images. If you have any questions please ask.

wafflecakee Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 good tutorial. i've never actually thought of doing that, getting some kind of post in the shot is a buzzkill. free transform might be worth mentioning, distort, skew, perspective... also color balance before flattening the image.

rushawn wuan Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Issue. I'm working on a water mark to place on my pics. I have the text the way I want it but I'm having trouble removing the background. I just want the text so I can copy and paste on all the necessary photos. How do I do it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahaha760 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 @ rushawn try saving your mark as a .gif with transparency/ if said file is not already a jpeg (flattened) with the white background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardo Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 don't sleep on layer blending modes. black text/image on white background use multiply.. white on black use screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
