Hi Gang. Back with a less challenging one. Did a Curves Adj and then a Black & White Adj with Blue Filter. Cleaned up the bkgd. Still have to get the suit cleaned up. Any suggestions for evening out the suit without making it look blurry? Do you think there's a digital dry cleaners I can pack it off to?! ::)

Lookin good Lyn... I tried a couple things.. new layer 50% gray soft light burn the jacket - or... new layer multiply reduce opacity mask jacket.. or.. the one I liked best.. sample jacket color in different areas and paint over messy parts with about 30 to 38% paint in normal mode.. you can still see the details then..good luck.. s'gonna be good :up: :up:
Knew you would have a couple of ideas Lynn! Thanks.
Looking good already Shadow!
Thanks Hannie. Used Lynn's painting tip and then added a wee bit of texture back. Final or go back and smooth it out more? Sure appreciate your good eyes girls!

Very good Shadow. Yes I would smooth out some more and perhaps also darken the shadows some in his jacket.
For fun I added a little shading under the chin area.

Thanks for all the help. Took me forever ... here's the final?
