[ 27 ]Step Nine: One thing we need to
address is that some of the back-
ground color is spilling onto some
areas of the subject—mainly the white
areas of the suit. Here’s a quick fix: Go
to the Toolbar and choose the Sponge
tool, which is grouped with the Dodge
and Burn tools (O). Set the brush tip
to a standard, round, soft tip around
35 px. Set the Mode in the Options
Bar to Desaturate and increase the
Flow to 100%. Now paint over the
areas where you see spillover from
the background. It’s mainly just along
the edges, but I also made a quick
pass over the shoes to remove most,
but not all of the yellow.
Step 10: Now let’s address the shirt
around the neck area. We need to
fill in the back of the shirt around the
neckline because we should be able to
see it now, because no one’s wearing
the shirt. With the Lasso tool, draw a
selection approximating the area the
shirt would cover. Continue to draw
the selection below the neckline and
then release the mouse button to
close the shape.
