I took this picture yesterday. I am by no means a professional...I know there is alot wrong with this picture. However, I am wondering if there is a way to photoshop out the wrinkles in the background? If anyone is willing to give it a try and explain to me how they did it I would appreciate it! thanks.http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e26/Krissy2202/kay22.jpg

Is this what you were seeking.

This is what i did in photoshop

1. Used the healing brush and found a good spot to clone(heal) from and then cloned most of the wrinkles out.

2. After cloning as much wrinkles and i could i then duplicated the background, clicked ctrl +t which allows to resize or move the layer background. I moved the background so the the line you had on the right side was covered with the background. Then i added a layered mask to the layer and masked out everything but the line.

If you don't want to do all of what i did in step 2 then just duplicate layer and use the clone brush over that area. I just like to do it the other way.

3. Once i did those steps i then duplicated layer and used the replace color option tool located in image - adjustments - replace color. I clicked on the white background and then used the +eye dropper and clicked on any other parts of the background that did not get selected. I adjust the brightness to brighten up the background. After that I clicked ok and added a layer mask to that layer and masked out everything but the background.

I'm not the best at explaining so i hope you can understand what i am talking about. Hope this helps.
