PHOTO EFFECTSKELBYONE.COMSTEP TWO: With the Spot Healing Brush
tool (J) selected, begin removing dust
and scratches on the new layer. Note
the writing at the bottom of the image.
Unless a client specifically requests
it be left intact, I’d remove it as well.
In the Options Bar, set the brush size
to 8 pixels, Mode to Normal, Type to
Content-Aware, and check Sample All
Layers. Now, simply paint over the areas
you want to heal. You may need to
adjust the brush size as you go. Try to
clean up as many of the “smears” as
possible on the side of the truck, since
that’s the primary focus in the image.STEP THREE: Now, we’ll begin colorizing
the truck. With the Quick Selection
tool active (nested below the Object
Selection tool [W] in the Toolbar), turn
on Sample All Layers in the Options
Bar, and then select the entire truck
except for the roof since it’s black in
both of the example images we found.
Don’t worry about trying to exclude the
areas through the windows or tires. If
it selects any of the grass around the
truck, hold the Option (PC: Alt) key
and paint to remove those areas from
the selection. Go to Select>Inverse,
and then click Select and Mask in the
Options Bar.
In the Select and Mask workspace,
set the View menu in the Properties
panel to Overlay (V). Then, in the
Global Refinements section, drag the
Smooth slider to 32. Leave Feather
and Contrast at 0. Set Shift Edge to
–30% to ensure you have a smooth
edge around the truck. Make sure
the Output To drop-down menu at
the bottom of the Properties panel
is set to Selection, click OK, and go
to Select>Inverse again (if you don’t
Inverse it again, you’ll colorize the
grass rather than the truck).
