how to work away smudge and add detail lines from Autodesk 3ds Max render

Question

Hello everybody!
 
I have been using Photoshop for a whole day now. And have set up my first picture.
I insert all kinds of rendered images in one bigger collage.
 
But now i have a question. The final rendered image has some smudge/ distortion on it.

Now what would be the best way to nicely work that away and let it blend in with the rest of the surrounding white colors?
 
And a bonus question.
 Another part of my image did not render a black line, where there should be one...

Would you all suggest using a brush tool for this? And would that be a straight line? Or is there a better looking option.
 
Thanks already!

Thanks for the reply Jane!

The problem why i have a little bit of smudge and it is not showing a few lines is because i am rendering a large white assembly, on a white background, under a strange angle with a ton of shaders underneat it (because officially 3ds max does not support lines).

And if i delve in the settings a bit more i could get is sorted out maybe, but i taught that it would be faster to edit those out in a superb editing probram (photoshop) then to delve into settings for hours on end.

But coming back to the latter part of your message, you would recommend not to use photoshop for these editing problems?

Thanks for your response!

Hi @NM MSDK

If Photoshop works for you with the lines, then keep it in Photoshop. Since you are getting 20+ layers for the lines you are most likely using the Shape mode, so the lines can be edited. You might select those Line layers and put them into one group (folder at the bottom of the layers panel) for management purposes.

Did you try the Remove tool for the smudges? This video from Jesús Rameriz of the Photoshop Training Channel may also help:

Hi @NM MSDK ,

I think you can use the clone stamp tool to help replace the areas with smudging, use a small brush with a mostly hard edge in your brush settings to stamp over each element at a time. That should give you a solid fix.

As for that Line, you can use the line tool. I think that will match your vector like picture best.

Feel free to reply with help in using these tools one you give them a try. Others may chime in with other options as well!
