Please look this over carefully and let me know what else I should do with this one. Thank you.

Very impressive Bambi! How did you bring out all that detail for the wood floor and the wallpaper? Was it in an unaffected channel?

[Bambi]

There was a lot of undamaged wallpaper and I found the Patch Tool to be very helpful. I had worked on three other pictures in this room, so I know the wallpaper and blinds quite well. With the Patch Tool, I can find a piece of undamaged pattern and match it perfectly to a damaged area.

The other pictures I worked on had more of the floor, so I knew what it should look like. The floor in the other pictures was at a completely different angle, though. So for this one, I cleaned up the damage on the floor and found a picture of the same type of flooring. I used the stock picture as a Luminosity Layer and used Free Transform to adjust the shape and perspective of the original. Then, I adjusted the opacity so I had only as much of the Luminosity as I needed to match the original. I don't like to replace things in photos, but I do sometimes use luminosity from other pictures just to restore the missing texture. Since there were 20 pictures of the same wedding, I had a lot of reference from the other originals. That makes it much easier.

Betty and Margie, you are too kind. I love working on these wedding pictures.

Very nice, Bambi.  I see you found a flower basket for the flower girl.  :up2:

Having done one from this wedding set, I understand the tortuous detail involved. Kudos, Bambi! Fine job indeed!
How many hours would you estimate it took to complete this photo?
Also would you post it in the B and A so that I may refer to it when I need inspiring? (Seriously.
:up:)
