A simple job as me beat?.

[Granddadscott]

Hi All


I have a lovely photo of one of my granddaughters the only thing spoiling it is the fact her nose is full of stuff which does not look good.
I have tried to paint over in Photoshop Elements but no matter what I do it does not look natural.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Ok, I am not great at the artsy kind of editing. I think Sparky did a good job. However, to me it looks a little dark. I am not sure what the inside of her nose looks like so I tried this...

I used the paintbrush tool and painted a new nostril. I duplicated and flipped it for teh right nostril. Then blended in with the original photo.

Hmmm. Lemme see if I have a "Correct Soft Focus" option................


Nope.

Duplicate layer: Overlay
Filter: Other: High Pass, radius 2.0
A bit nicer effect than sharpening

Christina that looks so natural I cannot thank you enough.

Now all I need to do is use the same method on the larger photo I have.
I must admit I never thought of flipping it to produce the other side which is
one of the reasons it never looked so good for me

After I duplicated and flipped for the right nostril I did play with the distort to make sure it was the right shape. If you need any help you can e-mail me the large pic, or send it to me via YouSendIt. When I did daycare and preschool photography we did a lot of messy nose airbrushing
