PP HELP

[canonrebel]

My daughter in law likes this picture but would like the stretch marks removed, my PP skills are non existant at the moment and I was wondering if some kind soul would be good enough to remove them for me and tell me how they did it.

Thanks in advance

You could try cloning and reducing the red.

Do you have any editing software?

Very quick example using cloning.

With more time you could do a really good job on it using cloning and additional filtering.

Trouble is... the bump doesn't look like a tummy anymore without the stretch marks. I prefer the shot with the stretch marks if I'm honest - all part of the pregnancy/birth theme of the pic. Reminds me of my wife, she has stretch marks just the same as that.

Toning down the marks is probably best.

Brains quick attempt has cloned out her belly button and most of tones/shadows, its a starter for 10
and shows what could be achieved, but it'll take time

Hi

I had a quick go didnt completely remove the strechmarks, copied the belly area to a new layer added Gaussian blur and reduced visibility of the layer
