1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,320
a really common issue that every
photographer faces in their time is
2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,730
going to be removing shadows or lighting
shadows underneath one size depending on
3
00:00:07,730 --> 00:00:11,300
the position of your light source in
this case the Sun you can sometimes get
4
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:15,099
some pretty dark shadows on any toes
eyes and it can unfortunately age
5
00:00:15,099 --> 00:00:18,470
someone to make them look a little bit
older than they are so I'm going to show
6
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:21,830
you a way in which we can lighten it up
and you can apply this in a number of
7
00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:25,189
different types of images some double
tap on his image right here this is my
8
00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:30,000
buddy Jose and his son Alex they're both
motocross riders and this is a great
9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,149
portrait that we captured not too long
ago at a at a local race but again you
10
00:00:34,149 --> 00:00:38,300
can see him in a little bit that the
shadows underneath the eyes are you know
11
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:41,040
they're they're pretty stark we're not
going to remove them entirely but what I
12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,550
want to do is I want to detract from
them so this particular images awry
13
00:00:44,550 --> 00:00:48,700
image something to make some initial
adjustments in Camera Raw nothing really
14
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:51,770
to address the ice rather just kind of
looking at the color I think it's a
15
00:00:51,770 --> 00:00:55,300
little bit it's a little bit cool I'm
going to warm it up just a little bit
16
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:59,920
and let's go ahead and add a little
clarity this is kind of environmental
17
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:04,589
sports like portrait so we can we can
get away with a little bit of with a
18
00:01:04,589 --> 00:01:09,110
little bit a grand little bit of grit so
go ahead and open up some shadows that
19
00:01:09,110 --> 00:01:13,689
looks pretty good right about their
rights and click on Open image we're
20
00:01:13,689 --> 00:01:20,000
gonna open it up in Photoshop and they
are we going to zoom in and let's go
21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,470
ahead and take a look at those eyes
alright so again you can see that the
22
00:01:24,470 --> 00:01:28,299
light source is fairly stark it's
probably I had to guess I'd say about
23
00:01:28,299 --> 00:01:32,900
three four o'clock in the afternoon the
sun is starting to set you can see it
24
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:36,310
right above its really adding a deep
dark shadow needy I saw a little light
25
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:40,850
met up I'm gonna start off by clicking
on the new layer icon in my Layers panel
26
00:01:40,850 --> 00:01:46,280
and I'm gonna go ahead and select the
spot Healing Brush now we looked at a
27
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,700
different example in a previous chapter
about using the Healing Brush but I'm
28
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:55,710
just gonna point this out again I've got
to sample all layers turned on I've got
29
00:01:55,710 --> 00:01:59,759
the pressure control icon Atallah
controlled by check the same effect the
30
00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:03,340
size of my brush and I'm just gonna come
in here let's zoom in a little bit
31
00:02:03,340 --> 00:02:07,579
tighter and I'm impressed very lightly
and we're going to remove this line
32
00:02:07,579 --> 00:02:12,090
right underneath his eyes now keep in
mind that this is this is obviously very
33
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:15,920
a very bold example I'm completely
removing that wrinkle and that's not
34
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:18,930
really realistic because everybody has a
wrinkle underneath their eyes especially
35
00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:22,970
when they're gonna smile like that
depending on their age it might be a
36
00:02:22,970 --> 00:02:27,340
starter line than others but I've gotten
rid of an entirely in this case because
37
00:02:27,340 --> 00:02:32,030
I'm on a separate layer now I'm gonna
lower the opacity that layer just a
38
00:02:32,030 --> 00:02:37,860
little bit and that alone could be you
could call it a day at that point if we
39
00:02:37,860 --> 00:02:41,900
zoom back out and I turned the
visibility icon on and off you can see
40
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:45,530
that that's light it up quite a bit I
probably lower the opacity that too much
41
00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:49,380
ego drive that back up that actually
looks pretty good right there but
42
00:02:49,380 --> 00:02:54,069
another issue that you might face is
some discoloration now it's not really
43
00:02:54,069 --> 00:02:58,180
the case here but I'm going to show you
a way in which you can really kinda
44
00:02:58,180 --> 00:03:01,989
soften that shadow or change that color
if you've got a little bit too much
45
00:03:01,989 --> 00:03:06,090
redness down here I'm gonna create
another new layer and I'm gonna grab my
46
00:03:06,090 --> 00:03:10,200
clone stamp tool now you've probably
used to clone stamp tool for traction
47
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,440
probably used it quite a bit but one of
the things you can use the clone stamp
48
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,769
tool to do is to lighten up colors and
that's what I'm going to do in this case
49
00:03:17,769 --> 00:03:21,660
I'm gonna change the blend mode of the
tool itself not on the layer between
50
00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:27,190
change the blend mode of the tool itself
to soft light that's going to lighten up
51
00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:31,450
the colors that I'm cloning and I'm
gonna make sure that I've got this I can
52
00:03:31,450 --> 00:03:35,889
read it here the size icon turned off
and make sure they have this icon right
53
00:03:35,889 --> 00:03:42,220
here the opacity icon turn on and I'm
gonna change the opacity down to about
54
00:03:42,220 --> 00:03:46,950
40 percent or so now you might ask but
why did I just the opacity right there
55
00:03:46,950 --> 00:03:48,919
have got pressure sensitive control
56
00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:52,880
well this is a very subtle tool and it's
a tool that if you're not careful it can
57
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,919
really clone a lot and it's I'm
basically using the opacity slider is
58
00:03:56,919 --> 00:04:01,239
kind of a kind of a governor of a top
and of how hard I would press my pen to
59
00:04:01,239 --> 00:04:05,739
the tablet alright so go ahead and get a
slightly larger brush I'm gonna hold on
60
00:04:05,739 --> 00:04:09,310
my option all key and I'm gonna tap kind
of right below here where I got this
61
00:04:09,310 --> 00:04:13,069
highlight right across the top of the
cheek that's why I want to pick up some
62
00:04:13,069 --> 00:04:17,919
of the color and I'm just gonna barely
touched my pen to the tablet right about
63
00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:22,789
their animals come down over here to the
other I tapping right below where I got
64
00:04:22,789 --> 00:04:24,750
a nice light tone
65
00:04:24,750 --> 00:04:29,010
and once again painting right across now
I barely touched my pen the Tampa right
66
00:04:29,010 --> 00:04:32,620
there and then gradually press a little
bit harder to reveal or excuse me to to
67
00:04:32,620 --> 00:04:36,650
remove the little bit of discoloration
that only the eyes you know I like to
68
00:04:36,650 --> 00:04:41,060
call this particular tool or technique
my makeup brush you use this quite a bit
69
00:04:41,060 --> 00:04:45,020
with with women or people that have
sunburn are you can really lighten up
70
00:04:45,020 --> 00:04:49,220
those dark shadows right there let's
hold down the option are all keen tap on
71
00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:53,670
the visibility icon this background
layer and take a look at the before and
72
00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:57,810
the after you know again the line is
still there but it's not as visually
73
00:04:57,810 --> 00:05:03,030
apparent and Jose would appreciate not
looking any older than he is I bet he's
74
00:05:03,030 --> 00:05:06,250
gonna hate me when he sees this but
anyways we can kind of like that up
75
00:05:06,250 --> 00:05:10,810
there now with son Alex and I don't
typically do this too much for children
76
00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:14,680
but he does have a little bit of color
like red down there so on that same
77
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,860
larry let's just go ahead and do the
same thing holding up my option all key
78
00:05:17,860 --> 00:05:22,300
tapping on the the highlight of the top
of the cheek right there we're going to
79
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:27,580
just kind of paint right underneath the
ice and it just follows a long that's
80
00:05:27,580 --> 00:05:31,470
gonna light it up considerably and he
doesn't have those those bags under the
