Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, but I couldn't find a more relevant one so... yeah. A friend came to me and asked me if I could fix up this image for them (too big to put in an img tag). She wants to remove the "light rays". Does anybody know how to do this, because I'm terrible at this sort of thing!

Thanks in advance, Max.

Welcome to the community Max. [excited]

Unfortunately there's no quick-fix for that kind of problem. Levels, cloning, and manual touch-ups will be the order of the day in this case.

Sorry. [oops]

:{ Ok, thanks guys. Here's the best fix-up I've achieved thus far:



[confused] It's an improvement I suppose...

Good luck MightyMax and it's like Mark said; a LOT of work and I don't think that anyone can make this one look perfect without destroying too many details

They're right Max. It's a long a tedius process that is frustrating and stressful. Trust me it's part of what I do for a living!! Your best bet, I'm a guessing, is to remove everything around her (very pretty girl by the way) and focus on just playing in a smaller area. I'll give it a crack when I get home. I'm always up for a good challenge.

Mighty Max - Kudos to you for tackling the project! [righton] :}
You did, indeed, improve the pic!

Lompoc42, I'm quite anxious to see what you do, 'cause you've proven yourself to be very good at this sort of thing! [excited]

I'd get involved myself (for the challenge) but my plate is rather full right now... :{

Yeah, theres no quick fix for that. Its best to get good pics to start out with. Photoshop can't yet create good pixels out of thin air(but you can). Good Luck!

Well said tranquil222
