D1- first tutorial- Raechel Bible

I'm going to show you how to cover up a tattoo. this could also be used to cover up anything that you might not want in your picture, like a skin mark or something.



1. open up your picture in photo shop.

2. find the clone stamp tool in the tool menu on the left side of your screen.

3. find your brush size menu and adjust the size to appropriate for the size of the photo you are working on. in this case a size 14 brush will be fine. also make sure the hardness of your brush is low or you will have a ring where you corrected the photo.

4. next hold down the alt key while clicking on an area of skin that is not covered by the tattoo. where you click will be the sample used to cover the tattoo. hold the circle over part of the tattoo and click to start covering.

5. you will have to keep sampling moving around the area where the tattoo is. using a sample of skin the is close to the tattoo will help the cover up look more realistic because you are using the same skin tone. and in just a few easy steps you have successfully covered up the tattoo!
