It helps to enlarge the photo on the screen so you can see in great detail what you are doing. I was working at 100% or more when I worked on this photo. Decreasing the eraser size also give you more control. It is important to take your time when using this technique to do it accurately. It also helps to not go too extreme with the Gaussian blur as this can help with the blending as well. I like to use a soft eraser "brush" for blending to rather than a hard one.<br /><br />DeleteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04686438008917843965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811959884173096874.post-4237638397821968262013-04-15T19:26:34.742-07:002013-04-15T19:26:34.742-07:00I don't have the budget for a DSLR so I've...I don't have the budget for a DSLR so I've been doing this for a year with some of my P&S images. You have to watch out for halos and I highly suggest releasing the eraser frequently, otherwise you have to start over if you make a mistake and erase a part you didn't want to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219393888893970616noreply@blogger.com
