oma Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 that's about as good as I can get it as I don't understand the curves rgb levels fully i'm not sure how to adjustthe colors back if was my photo from here I'd just copy the shirt from original (use a mask) and overlay it on this one in the mean time.

barkbark00 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I am struggling to get rid of the shadow on the face in the attched pic. can someone help me do that in Paint.Net and explain how to achieve it. thanks in advance. My go at it: What I did was select the shadowed area of the face and copy it to its own layer. I then adjusted the Contrast(-100)/Brightness(+100). Then I Gaussian blurred that layer 15-20px and set the layer blending mode to "Overlay". I also did a little Surface blur on the shadowed area of the base image due to the fact that it had some image artifacts because of the lack of light. Here it is without Surface blur.

Tanel Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Very nice job, barkbark! I will bookmark your tips. But I think the person's chin shines too bright on the result image, it needs to be toned down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I though of that, but I got too lazy... Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pranavy Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Thanks to all for your suggestions and help. I feel that PdN is not a good choice for such work yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Thanks to all for your suggestions and help. I feel that PdN is not a good choice for such work yet. Sorry, I have to disagree!! PDN is one of the easiest and user friendly image editing software out there. and it IS powerful enough to do such work.

barkbark00 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 pranavy, The only real limitation to this process is the image you are working with. Paint.NET is more than capable of accomplishing this task. If I were to invest a little more time on an image that wasn't as compressed, I would be able to make it look like the shadow was never there...

oma Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 @BB wish I could just sit beside your desk and watch you work for a wee bit I think I could learn sooo much. I've got to remember this method for removing shadows to use at a later date. it will come in handy for me for sure!

Since I have this requirement, I wanted to use it for testing. true capabilities = limited only by a person's imagination & time (as in how much time you willing to put in) All the tools and plugins a good enough to do almost anything with images. I know some tools are not as good as what they have in photoshop YET. but all that means is just try to look for a way around it, or just spend a little more time on some tasks. And I know you are not against PDN 8) Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please let me know the steps need to be followed to make it as if the shadow was never there. I am ready to invest my free time to try it out. thanks in advance.

barkbark00 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 It would be the same as what I posted here. Like I said, the image has a lot of detail loss due to compression/poor initial image quality.
