Hi all,

I did a shoot of some kids in their school uniforms, but unfortunately the only good one of a particular little guy has two big umbrellas in it!

Anyone have any idea how i would get rid of these brollies at the edges of his glasses? They didn't really look bad in the proofs, but the mother wants a large print, and they REALLY show up!

I admit it's a daft error that should not have happened while shooting, but unfortunately this was the first shot and he kinda grimaced through the others :roll:


Thanks
Richy...

Had a go myself after the missus nagged for ½hour took around 2 hours of pasting, dodging, burning, smudging and various other bits! I'm pretty pleased with it :)

Love the backdrop, did you buy it or make it?

Thankyou for comments, always good to get other opinions before the mum gets a look :)

Yes, it was a bit scary and not something i do a lot of, but seemed to work okay. Hopefully the print won't reveal anything.

The background was borrowed from my father along with the support. No idea where he got it to be honest, i'll ask and let you know.

I find glass glare a pretty hard edit to do a good job.

Mpix offers glare removal from glasses for about $8. They do a great job also.

Think I've got the same background, got it from a place in Stockport, notice that you live in the UK also.

Oops, great shot by the way and well done on getting rid of the umbrella's!

Can I ask exactly where you had those umbrellas positioned?

From the look of the angle of the original , it appears that they were fairly low - i.e. about your shoulder height?
