Title: Opinion on WIP BishopA
Post by: andrewturner1983 on June 13, 2017, 06:23:06 PM
Hi all was hoping I could get some opinions on what people think of the latest photo I've been working on and any improvements I could make.

Looking good so far! Nice color correction and excellent bkgd out of the blob of damage. If you zoom in, on the boy on the far left (looking at the screen), his shirt has some color damage between the arm and the body and there's a bit of a line around the outside. You might be able to warm his hand up a bit if you sample the color from one of the other hands and then on a new layer paint at a low opacity using Color. I'll see if I can find Hannie's suggestion to me some time ago on that.
Look forward to seeing your next WIP! Good luck.  :)

Tried the changes suggested and did some work on textures, highlights and shadows. Hoping it looks ok.  Running out of artistic skill.

H Andrew,

You did an amazing repair job!   :up2:
I tried to fix the part of the shirt that Shadow mentioned, also it is always a good idea to do any color/tone correction before repair work.

Thank you.  I will take another look at the shirt as you have shown.
