Best method to subtly remove scuff marks from white floor in a pic?

I shot a model in a studio using a white backdrop. The backdrop under her feet is all scuffed up with marks. These marks are in a shadowed area, so I cannot just clone stamp clean areas from the background, since that is lighter and without shadow. Nor do I want to remove the shadow of the subject.
These scuff marks ruin the shot, so I am really hoping there's a solution to this.
My Photoshop skills are best described as advanced beginner.
Thanks!

Clone Stamp Tool, Healing Brush Tool, maybe also the Brush Tool (on a Layer with a noise Pattern Overlay to match the noise/"grain" of the image), … and as much time as it takes.
You could also try Content Aware Fill etc.
If you want to discuss editing approaches to a particular image not posting (the relevant section of) said image may make the discussion difficult.

    Use setup assistant which is offered when you setup your new Mac.  It will transfer information from a Time Machine backup, Clone or another Mac.
    It's best to do this during setup to avoid issues with duplicate IDs.

  • What is the best method to import my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new iMac [27"]?

    What is the best method to import my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new iMac [27"]?

    You can copy your iPhoto Library to an external hard disk, USB flash drive, or other media (depending on the size of your iPhoto library). Then, you'd copy the iPhoto Library from that media to the same location on your iMac.
    Using the Finder, navigate to your Home folder (or click on Go from the menu bar and click on Home). Open the Pictures folder, select your iPhoto Library and then from the menu bar choose "Edit" and then "Copy". Then navigate to your external disk, click on "Edit", and then click on "Paste".
    Then, insert your media on the iMac, and copy the iPhoto Library from your external media to the same location on your iMac (the Pictures folder located under your Home folder).
    Hope that helps, have a great day.

  • XML in Oracle 9i (best method to return a xml file from a table query)

    Hello.
    What is the best method to query a table, or set of tables (that will return thousands of rows) using xml in oracle? (best performance)
    I'm currently using DBMS_XMLGen, is there a better method ?

    I think, if your talking about generating XML, that you should use XMLElement, XMLForest, etc. to create your XML.
    Lets assume that you base is relational data, then maybe the following great example will give you an idea how to do it : Re: Generate XML Schema from oracle tables
    As michaels pointed out (did you read the link/ URL given?), the general expectancy is that the packages will be less and less important. So also maintenance wise the XMLElement, etc way will be the best, also for the future, maintainable method.

  • How to remove quotations marks  from csv file

    Hi
    My input file is a .csv file which contains each value in quotation marks
    ex: - "123456778","jakob","grade10"
    Also each record in the input file contains 333 values .
    i am reading these records and using stringtokenizer to fetch value by value for that record .
    i want to remove the quotation marks before i put the values back into an output file with .txt extension .
    those output files will be bcped later into sybase db.
    Should the quotation marks be removed in the java code or is their anyother way to remove the quotation marks from the output file while bcping them .
    Thank You

    I also suggest if possible, you use tab delimited cvs files rather than comma delimited cvs files.That would be TSV, LOL...
    If there are commas inside your data elements, you will not be able to tell if they are part of the data or are delimiters. Tab delimited files avoid this.What if your data contain tabs? Although there's no CSV specification, the common standard practice is to use two double quotes to escape a quote.

  • Can I remove scuff marks my ipad cover made on my ipad air screen?

    I just got an ipad air 2 and logitech keyboard case. I have only had it for a month and the ipad screen is scuffed/scratched. I had an ipad 2 for 5 years and the screen held up pretty well. Does anyone know if there is a way to remove the scuffs or scratches, or is there any recourse with logitech? Very disappointed

    Another cleaner that Apple recommends and sells in their own stores is called Whoosh!. I use this product and can say that it's the best I have ever used. But it's only meant to clean the screen and leave a nano-thin protective coating, not to remove any physical damage that may have occurred.
    Are you positive it's indeed "scuffed and scratched"? Maye it needs to be cleaned? I know that screen covers will leave residue from the cover itself on the screen after use which will build up over time. If it's truly scuffed/scratched, whatever damage happened to your screen should be taken up with Logitech.

  • Remove crop marks from AI CS2 doc?

    Hi,
    I resized my document from a 8.5 x 11 to a 11 x 14 and then scaled the business card on it up 280% to fit in the new document size in Adobe Illustrator CS2. Everything is working fine except that my existing crop marks for the business card stayed the same size as the business card 3.5 x 2 so how do I remove these? I don't need them anymore.
    I will be having this printed so do I need to insert print marks or anything like that?
    Thanks in advance,

    It worked! Thanks so much ScottW. I have no idea what it did but it worked. Thanks again!

  • Remove water marks from sepia photo

    I have Elements 7.
    I wonder if anyone can direct me to the best way of dealing with a large sepia photo. About 25% of the photo has been spoiled by being in a damp area and under glass. This has turned large areas of the photo from shades of brown to mottled grey over the original brown tones. I have been trying for some while to find the best way of improving this with the healing brush and cloning but because some parts of the photo are significantly spoilt, it is difficult and inticate work. I don't mind that at all but I would hate to think that there was a quicker and easier way?
    I'd be grateful for any advice
    Thank you

    That's a tough one. I tried various things to remove the stain but no decent results. Might I offer this alternative:
    1. Copied the Background layer.
    2. I thought color was a bit too olive in tone so I converted to sepia for an antique look. To do this I made a Hue/Saturation change. In the H/S dialog window checked the Colorize box, set Hue to 30 and Saturation to 25.
    3. Made a Brightness/Contrast change to increase the Brightness a bit.
    4. Created a portrait-like background to cover some of the stains around the subject. To do this, set the Foreground/Background colors to light and medium shades of brown, added a blank layer at the top, and applied the Render > Clouds filter. Then applied a Gaussian Blur to soften the cloud effect a bit.
    5. Added a layer mask to the cloud layer and painted with black & white to create background around the subject.
    6. Did some cloning to fill out the knee and arm.
    7. Painted with brown over some of the stain still showing next to the arm.
    8. Linked the background and subject layers.
    9.  With the Elliptical Marquee, drew out an oval centering the subject, inverted and deleted the selection.. This created the oval on transparent background.
    10. Since the 2 layers are linked I used the Move tool to center the portrait/background on the canvas.
    11. Added a Solid Color adjustment later and set to brown for the "matte".

  • Removing quotation marks from channel names

    Firstly - I am new to both DIAdem and VB so please forgive my ignorance!
    I have a large data set containg many groups with (almost) identical channel names in each group. For reasons not worth going into some of the channel names have quoation marks around them, while others do not.
    I am trying to remove the quoation marks to make all channel names consistent throughout the groups, for this I was hoping to loop through the groups renaming channels as appropriate
    I think this should work:-
    For
     i = 1 to GROUPCOUNT
    Call GROUPDEFAULTSET(i)
     CN(""ChannelName"")="ChannelName"
    Next
    Where ChannelName is the name I am trying to replace, But I get the following error:- Expected ')'
    Can anyone point out where I am going wrong?
    (Note - I also tried using triple quotation marks ("""ChannelName"""), but I get this error instead - CN(""ChannelName""):=ChannelName Close bracket ")" expected for field index)
    For bonus points - how to I get the loop to skip over any groups where the channel I am referencing already doesn't have quotation marks in it, rather than giving me an error that the channel can't be found?
    Many thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Solved!

    Hello Dan,
    You are using an old script syntax to manipulate the data. Please find below the current way to replace quotation marks with an underscote:
    dim iLoopG, iLoopC, oGroup, oGroupChns, sQM
    sQM = chr(34) ' the " character
    set oGroup = Data.Root.ChannelGroups
    for iLoopG = 1 to oGroup.Count
    set oGroupChns = oGroup(iLoopG).Channels
    for iLoopC = 1 to oGroupChns.Count
    'msgbox oGroupChns(iLoopC).Name
    oGroupChns(iLoopC).Name = Replace(oGroupChns(iLoopC).Name, sQM, "_")
    next
    next

  • Remove quotation marks from a keyword

    Hi, need a help on this....
    I build a whole tree for my keywords and in some of them, I used more them one word in the same keyword, separated by comma.
    eg:  whale, whales
    The problem is when I do that, it creates a quotation mark and the other softwares dont understand it as 2 words and can not slipt it.
    Is there any way I can get rid of the quotation marks?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    So it looks as if it can't be done the way you want it to work.
    There is a work around but requires a little more work.
    Insert the keywords as you are doing at the present.
    Then run a script on the selected documents to sort the keywords removing the quotes.
    Here is a script that will do just this...
    #target bridge  
    if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) { 
    var menu = MenuElement.find ('updateKeywords');
    if (menu == null){
    updateKeywords = MenuElement.create( "command", "Update Keywords", "-at the end of tools",  "updateKeywords" );
    updateKeywords.onSelect = function () {
    if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined)  ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
    var sels = app.document.selections;
    for(var a in sels){
    var xmpf = new XMPFile(sels[a].spec.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPEN_FOR_UPDATE);
    var xmp = xmpf.getXMP();
    var keys = getArrayItems(XMPConst.NS_DC,'subject').replace(/[";]/g,',');
    keys = keys.split(',');
    xmp.deleteProperty(XMPConst.NS_DC,'subject');
            for(var s in keys){
            xmp.appendArrayItem(XMPConst.NS_DC, "subject", keys[s], 0,XMPConst.PROP_IS_ARRAY);
    if (xmpf.canPutXMP(xmp)) {
            xmpf.putXMP(xmp);
             xmpf.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSE_UPDATE_SAFELY);
    function getArrayItems(ns, prop){
    var arrItem=[];
    var items = xmp.countArrayItems(ns, prop);
       for(var i = 1;i <= items;i++){
         arrItem.push(xmp.getArrayItem(ns, prop, i));
    return arrItem.toString();
    To install..
    Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit
    This gets installed with Photoshop and can be found:-
    PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities
    MAC: <hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities
    Start Bridge
    PC: Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts
    Mac: Adobe Bridge menu - Preferences - Startup Scripts
    At the bottom click the "Reveal Button" this will open the folder where the script should be saved.
    Close and restart Bridge.
    Accept the new script.
    To use:-
    Select the documents to update
    Tools - "Update Keywords"

  • To remove check marks from the polist

    i am using 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1' to create a Purchase Order.The purchase order gets created but the problem is that when the purchse order list is displayed the "Goods Reciept" and "GR non-valuated" check boxes int the delivery tab are clicked which is not a requirement.
    i have tried top remove it by altering the BAPI_POITEM by making the feilds GR_IND = ' ' and GR_NON_VAL = ' ' but it doesnt work.
    Could you please help me to find a solution at the earliest.

    Hello,
    Have you also set the following fields:
    BAPIMEPOITEMX-POITEM = '00010'. "The Item number in PO
    BAPIMEPOITEMX-GR_IND = 'X'.
    BAPIMEPOITEMX-GR_NON_VAL = 'X'.
    BAPIMEPOITEMX-IR_IND = 'X'.
    along with
    BAPIMEPOITEM-POITEM = '00010'. "The Item number in PO
    BAPIMEPOITEM-GR_IND = ''.
    BAPIMEPOITEM-GR_NON_VAL = ''.
    BAPIMEPOITEM-IR_IND = ''.
    Also FM BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT is to be called after the above BAPI is called to make a DB commit.
    I assume you have filled necessary fields in PO Header Structure.
    Let me know still if this does not work. Hope this helps you.

  • Remove book marks from old computer

    I have transferred bookmarks from foxfire on old computer to foxfire on new computer.
    I wish to give the computer away to a relative and want to remove bookmarks and password information. When ever I delete information from bookmark, the new computer's information is changed accordingly. What do I do?

    Are both of your computers connected to the same Firefox Sync account? If so, you may need to disconnect the old one from the account. One option is to change your account password using your new computer, and then not update the password on the old computer. This article has the steps for that: [[Disable Firefox Sync on a lost phone or tablet]].
    Assuming you have all your information on the new computer and no longer need any data on the old computer, you can uninstall Firefox and use the option to remove your personal information. This will delete your settings folder that includes your bookmarks, passwords, and history.

  • What is the best method for creating a simple DVD from X?

    Now that I no longer have DVD SP on my system, I need to know the preferred method of creating a simple menu driven DVD. The DVD needs to have a simple (one click) since the local cable company needs that so it will trigger at a specified time. I shoot in 720p 60. The DVD is SD. I do have Toast, Compressor, and iDVD on the computer. Any input will really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Cheers.
