Title: Really Stuck Bad :-(
Post by: PhotoBob on December 16, 2015, 06:28:20 PM
Hi Everyone,
I think I've made a career out of this one photo!  I've worked on it up to the point were I don't know what to do next. On her dress and veil, how should I best differentiate between damage and detail? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob

The photo's looking great so far. I can't offer a great deal of advise on how to differentiate between the dress & veil, but I have previously used brushes to build up a brides dress & veil, I'm not sure if you would find these brushes of any use but here are the links to take you to them.

Thank you Wendy. Those brushes may become very valuable and end up saving the day. My concern here is covering up the detail that is part of the veil and dress.

You're welcome Bob, sorry I can't be of any further help.

Bob, perhaps your distributor has a reference photo that shows what the veil looked like?

edit: just checked the family photos and there are no reference photos....
