Creases with patterns

[GrayRid006]

Hi all!

does anyone have any ideas on how to remove this type of creases on pattern clothing? Any advice greatly appreciated? (Content fill doe not take to this well)

It's definitely tricky - have you tried the patch tool? I gave it a try and came up with this result - you would have to finesse it a bit but maybe that will get you close enough?

Hello, this seems like a job for @Earth Oliver Frequency Separation 2.0 techniques:

Yes, by far the best way to deal with wrinkle headaches!

I really wish that the technology shown in this demo would arrive in a Photoshop feature... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLHRBRIzjXc

Yes, it'ss a real pity that they abandoned Extract Shading.  I think Chuck got the inside line on it, and that he was told that it is not going to happen.  I looked for Chuck's reference and couldn't find it, but I did find this thread

Yea, it didn't work out as planned,  so they pulled it. Too bad, it looked really interesting, and even if it didn't work as expected, there are always ways to use new features in an unconventional way.

Removing is somewhat subjective, so here's my quick take on that:

Getting here is a 4 step process.

1.) Set history brush to Non Linear, and edit this image in ACR to open the shadows so there is no longer a dark crease but the pattern remains.  Add texture if needed to bring back the fine details.   Ok this adjustment. 

2.) Select that in the History Brush as your target state, and back up one step in history to before this ACR edit.  

3.) Brush in at a low opacity ( I used 10% on luminosity) to remove the majority of the shadows.   

4.) Clone out the remaining small heavy crease on the faar top left.  

Hopefully that helps!

Hi,

Copy and pasting clean sections, then masking out edges is a good way to start, hope this helps.
