Photoshop: Editing Background

Video Transcript

"So now as we can see here that I have cleaned this photo up just a little bit and we are going to move on a bit more resizing and tweaking here. So as we can see, we have got Natalie's face, it is pretty cleaned up here and I have gotten rid of all this stuff; mangles here but that is alright I will apply a layer of mask to that later and that will actually change that up a bit. So now let's take a look at Genevra; there we go. Now if we place Natalie's face on her we can see that her face isn't quite the same size. So let's go ahead and we will resize this photo up just a little bit; there we go. And let's rotate this just a little bit so it kind of matches a little more; there we go. Now let's move this over to where it would set, something around in there is where it would set and I think I like that a lot. So what we are going to do here is we are going to readjust the cheek line on Genevra and actually give her just a little bit longer of a neck here. Actually, what we could have done is we could have kept Natalie's neck coming down that way what we could have resized the head and stuff but that would have been a lot of photo cropping here and this is just going to be a quick tutorial. So now that we have got that we will hit Enter to get out of the Rotation mode on that. And let's go ahead and we will click on Genevra's layer here. What we are going to do is we are just going to kind of clone stamp this back up, so let's, actually you know what, let's go into, we will hit J; we are going to go into our Heal Brush but we are going to go into our Patch Tool. We are going to use our Patch Tool for a little bit. So come down here, the third one down is our Patch Tool. The way the Patch Tool works is if we hold down the Command and Space Bar, we will zoom in here, what we would be allowed to do is we will be allowed to make a selection like this. I don't want to grab her hair too much, let's just stay out of that, there we go. Now if we hit Options, Space Bar we will hit the Zoom button and we can just zoom out a little bit, there we go, and what we will do is we will just click in here, drag this down and as you can see it is going to choose the colors below and release and what this will do it will, Command Deselect, it will actually clean this up for us quite a bit. So there we go, we have actually cleaned up her jaw line and her neck with one simple brush stroke. Actually, there is a little bit more blending here that we could do and I might apply this just a couple more times around here just to get these colors blended in well. But we are going to stop for here and we will pick this up in the next part."
