Using PS to remove the photographer's shadow.

Using PS to remove the photographer's shadow.

Filming the light scene at dusk always makes me feel the other hand. Because the filming of the time to constantly adjust their body, to avoid the shadow also mirror together, but often a lot of good viewing angle, or inevitably brought to their own shadow. Want good framing, do not want to have a shadow, what to do to the best of both worlds? This time we take the shadow to operate, no matter how many shadow, can use Photoshop several basic tools to eliminate them, and almost will not destroy the original details Oh!

STEP1: After opening the diagram, press the CTRL+J key to copy a background layer "layer 1". We use a layer to fix the chart and the background layer for reference.

STEP2: First of all, to the shadow of the part of the light. Select Highlight tool from the tool column to the left.

STEP3: Move to the top tool parameter sequence and set the highlight tool's exposure to 3%. If the exposure setting is too high, casually smear it is too bright, so set between 3% to 5% can be.

STEP4: Click the right mouse button at any point on the diagram to turn on the highlight tool's Brush Size setting dialog box. Set the brush size to the appropriate size and set the "hardness" to 50%.

STEP5: Then start smearing the shadow part. Because the exposure is only set to 3%, you need to repeat the smear until the brightness is similar to the next. If you don't know the area of the shadow, you can temporarily close the Layer 1 view background, just click the eye pattern next to layer 1.

STEP6: It doesn't matter if you're not too bright, you can use the "deepen tool" under the Highlight tool, and set the same exposure to smear the area over bright.

STEP7: Smear All the shadow parts, it looks a lot worse than the next. Because just the steps just to light the shadow, and shaded by the shadow of the area originally to eat less light, so the color out is very normal. Fortunately, there is a ready-made color to use, so next to the area to fill the color.

STEP8: Press the Quick key Ctrl+j key on layer 1 to copy a new layer "Layer 1 copy".

STEP9: Change "Layer 1 copy" layer blending mode to "color".

STEP10: Move to the Left tool column to select the Brush tool.

STEP11: Press and hold the ALT key of the keyboard, the brush will become the eyedropper tool, and then click the left mouse button on the floor between the two shadows, and use the eyedropper tool to draw the floor color. Then use a brush to smear the highlighted shadow area.

STEP12: In the process you need to reuse the eyedropper tool to draw a similar color, and then keep using a brush to smear. It doesn't matter if the smear area goes beyond the original shadow area, and the painted color does not seem to have a fault.

STEP13: When finished, select "Layer" → "image flatten" from the main menu to merge three layers.

STEP14: The shadow is gone! There are two figures on the right. As long as the color is not too complex place, can easily put the annoying shadow eliminate Oh!
