Photo Clean Up and Manipulation

Written on Thursday, April 29th, 2010 | Filed under: Hobby, Photo Editing

As a creative, you will see a photo that is pretty good to begin with, however, there are minor details that makes it flawed.

A good example is this photo of this lady sitting at the pool; when turned 90 degrees, it appears that she’s sitting on a ledge and there is a wall of water.

Unfortunately, there are people as well as other distractions in this photo that take away that wall of water sensation.

It’s always a fun hobby to take a cool photo like this and make it even better.

This is the original photo.

This is after editing.

Everything was done in Photoshop CS4 using masks, patch tool and healing brush as well as rotating a layer to make the lady’s head look as if she’s not struggling to keep still in water.

Here’s a side by side comparison.  What do you think?
