so im not too great with detail editing in photoshop but i was wondering the best way to git rid of the streak of light going acrodd the guys face. i need a pretty good explanation as i am not too experianced with CS3.
Make a selection of his head including the sunlit area. There are a number of ways to do this, but this is a case where you have strong contrast, so the magic wand tool should work very well. A higher tolerance of 50 or 60 should work fine. Once selected, use the eye dropper tool to select a neighboring color (he's not 100% black), and then using the paint brush, paint over the streak going right up to the edge. The selection will keep you painting within the lines.
hey mike. thanks man. i did end up getting what i wanted out of it but thanks again for all your guys' help!!!
