Portrait retouch, need to get rid of cluster of flyaways under chin on neck

HI, I'm retouching a portrait and there is a cluster of hair under my subject's chin. I cannot get rid of it and keep the natural look to the edge of the hair. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would greatly appreciate it.

Blimey Benjamin. Frequency separation is a bit heavy for an apparently new Photoshop user.
Double chin removal is a multi step process. You need to remove the shading that produce the ripple effect in the skin, smoother the skin, and clean the neck line.
Skin smoothing can be done with negative clarity in the Camera RAW filter, but on a new layer so you can mask in where you do and don't want the affect.
The neck line can be done starting with the Liquify filter, then when reasonably close, run a work path through the required neck line; make it a selection, and feather it a bit (.5). Now make a new layer, and use the clone tool to fill any gaps on the neck side, then invert selection and use clone tool on the other side.
Use Dodge and burn to fix the shading, but it's hard to get a really nice result. I sometimes make my own skin tones with the paint brush and suitable noise, then add my own shading to produce the required contours.
It is not a particularly easy thing to make a realistic fix, but you should be able to improve things at least.

Hi Pierre,
There's no way to merge them yet, so all you can do now is make 1 of them the master ID for iCloud. You have to continue to use the other for previous iTunes, Mac App Store updates. Have you read:

HT1420 need to get rid of old expired apple accounts before I can purchase new stuff

i need to get rid of old expired apple accounts from previous email addresses. how to do that?

Why would you keep creating new accounts?
Just change the e-mail address associated with the account.
Having more than one account will generally cause problems.
All purchases are always tied to the account from which they were purchased.

Need to get rid of lines top and bottom

The video material I'm cutting has a very annoying, eye-catching top and bottom edge. The topmost and lowest lines kind of wobble or jitter. I need to get rid of this.
Do I 'zoom in' / expand the picture, or is there a crop tool I haven't come across?
Any help much appreciated.

Right-click(Control+click) the clip with the settings and chose copy.
Select all of your clips that you want to apply the same settings to and right- click and chose paste attributes. A window will open and check the motion box and then click apply(Ok?)
Now all of the selected clips will have the motion setting that you copied. This is also a good way for copying video and audio filters and any other settings in the motion tab.

In response to below------Thank you Lynn-----Yes, there is a main panel--I will attach----and if you have any further suggestions please let me know--Thanks again
How are you running this program? Is there a top level vi which calls the ones you posted? The Display image on screen.vi will display two images in succession, but according to the note on the block diagram the second image is blank. It seems as though this would intentionally create a flicker.
The sequence structure is unnecessary. Dataflow will determine the order of execution. The only exception is the time delay in the third frame. Since it has no data dependency, a single frame sequence may be useful to assure that the delay occurs before the picture is updated. A simple state machine might be a more versatile architecture for what you may be trying to do.
It is not necessary to write the FR.PanelBounds property immediately after reading it, nor is it necessary to read it a second time in the second frame. Just wire from the first read.

Take a screen shot using the following keys - Apple/Shift/4. The cross hair shot will enable you to do the the exact size of shot you want to do.
Place the screen shot onto your desktop. In the "Basic reply window" click on the camera icon and follow the onscreen instructions. Click on "Use Advance Editor" then click the "Add Reply" button.
Again, post in the Mountain Lion forum area so that users using the same os as yourself will be able to help. Your issue is "os" related. You do not have a Macbook Pro technical issue.

I have Modzilla Firefox, Modzilla Firefox 2 and modzilla firefox copy on my desktop. I don't know how they all got there but I need to get rid of them. How?

Hi cathyw11,
probably you have 3 shortcuts on your desktop, if it is shortcuts they will have a small arrow on the firefox icon (see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot]). Right click on each shortcut you want to delete and select delete(don't be afraid, you delete only the shortcut, not the program, the program you can find it in windows start > all programs).
thank you

I need to get rid of the specular highlights in this picture

Hi,
This picture has reflective areas near the eyes and I do not like it. (particularly at the left side of the right eye). What is the best way to get rid of these reflections or specular highlights?
Thanks,
Juan Dent

As is always the case in PS, there are a number of ways to accomplish the same task. Some work better than others, depending on the nature of the task. Here are two others:
• using the healing brush (not the spot healing brush), sample an area of good skin and brush over the offending area once. Then use fade filter and lower the opacity until the blend looks natural. The skill of this technique depends on the area you sample from and how large a brush / area you brush over. You only want to brush once, so you can use the fade filter command. An alternative, depending the version of PS, is to apply your healing on a separate layer and then lower the opacity of that layer. This is the same as using the fade filter command, but allows you to use multiple brush strokes.
• on a blank layer, using a small soft edge brush, low opacity - 10% is good, sample the desired good skin color near by the area you want to change. You may need to sample different areas as you retouch to get a good blend - transition. Then paint over the offending area, gradually building up the retouch until the blend is good.
In all cases a tablet is the best way to administer retouching.

Help! Need to get rid of MacKeeper and Spinning Wheel!

Hello Apple Community,
I have a problem that has been solved by one member of the community, however, I am still having the same problem. I thought I knew my mac pretty well however, I was one of those stupid people who installed MacKeeper in hopes of cleaning up my macbook pro and get the spinning "wheel of death" to STOP!
I have read the posts and the comments from previous threads. One in particular was posted by "uvistr" requesting help with the same problem I am having. The community member, "etresoft", provided a great solution. However, I tried to follow the directions to re-install mackeeper and then un-install, but I could not find any information in my logs with anything related to mackeeper. When I went to the mackeeper site, the only way I could re-load it was to buy it again! I feel like I am going in circles!
I thought I had deleted, dumped, trashed MacKeeper, but I still have the white screen on my desktop that says "unistall mackeeper". Only the GREEN light is available to use and of course I only just get a bigger screen! Nothing is on the screen and there are no options in the finder (that I have found) to delete this white screen.
I do know that I didn't un-install it correctly based on the information from "etresoft". I am at the point of getting rid of everything on my macbook and then re-install everything. I have everything backed up on an external hard drive.
Once I get MacKeeper off of my machine, will the spinning wheel stop? OR does anyone think there is another problem that is causing it to constantly spin? I have checked with Comcast and am running at their top speed. I have the latest upgrade of OSX Lion and have deleted all pictures and movies from my hard drive. Any thoughts?
Thanks for any help that can be provided.....

No, you do not need MacKeeper. Removing MacKeeper will help.
