Editing help needed!




Me and my camera are friends again..we've been estranged for some time. With most things I enjoy I go through phases and only seem to concentrate on one thing at a time. Lately it's been sewing and exercise so photography has taken a back seat. This morning I took some really great photos of Alexa but when I was editing ( I just use Picnik, nothing fancy) I noticed that she had those darn tattoos on her arm. I hate those things! I had tried twice to scrub those darn things off and just forgot about them this morning when we ran outside to take a few shots before school.
Two questions: How do you get those darn things off her skin? and How do you edit it off the photos? I tried the "blemish" feature and "airbrush" feature and neither worked.
Any suggestions out there? A couple of the photos are Christmas card worthy but not with a dolphin tattoo and Barbie on her arm!! : (

Hi Sue,

I would be happy to help you with your photo fix. It can probably be fixed in Photoshop. If you want me to try to clean it up for you, email me the original photo, not the one that was edited using picnik.

SO glad you and your camera are getting to know each other again.....the pics are adorable.

BTW, here is my email address. lisamuth at hotmail dot com.

I have photoshop Sue but I still don't know how to use it. I hope to learn someday!

Cute pictures! I hate those darn tatoos too. They take days to come off!

I don't have any editing advice but I love the pictures!! She's such a doll!

I have no editing advise, but cooking oil does the tattoo thing. We also will use skin so soft. My sister used alcohol. The rubbing kind LOL
