askohen Member 176 posts Joined Jul 2005 More info | Aug 22, 2006 11:32 | #1 I want to get rid of the shadow in Photoshop on my son's head, on the right side. What would be the best, easiest way to accomplish this?
Full sized: http://cohencentral.com …ry/moreMiscJesse/IMG_2144  Also, I believe I bounced this flash but still got the shadow. Ideally I would not get this shadow at capture but find I often do, even when bouncing. Any tips for avoiding this in the future? Canon 20D

I selected by color range and then made sure that only the area that I wanted to work on was selected. I used the color replacement tool to sample a clean area and then replaced the selected area. This still left some lines so I used the clone tool and applied some gaussian blur to the selected area. Took maybe 5 minutes and I'm sure that there are others out there that can do a better job.

Also, how do I avoid these shadows in the first place? Like I said I used a bounce flash. It looks like the flash was more straight on then bounced. What did you use to bounce your flash? Ceiling? Wall? Mike, The Keeper of the Archive

I usually don't have the shadow issues but maybe because he is right on top of the background (which you can't do anything about in this case). Mike, The Keeper of the Archive
