Learn Photoshop Elements - Fast and Easy Tan Line Removal

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the shadow/highlights adjustment to paint a tan over existing tan lines. Although blending modes and hue adjustment layers might blot out some of the white area, this technique gets close to matching the tan. To reduce/remove the white area even more, you can use the technique twice. After creating your masterpiece, stop by http://www.facebook.com/pseandmore to upload it for all to see.

Feeling under the weather the last couple of weeks and can't bring myself to "play" on PSE. I have watched all of your new videos though and think everyone of them are GREAT!!!

[c130bulldawg]

@mammafishy Take care and get better. I've had the lingering flu for past few weeks as well.

its early in the morning, you are keeping me up....I am just watching one after another, learning so much......thanks so much ....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzz

@blossombogart2 No worries. Thanks for staying up and watching, I think.

@winfr34k Yep. I thought about keying the blue out but I decided just to make myself disappear completely.

@MrRudyc Great suggestions. I think a talented person could get rid of tan lines without being able to tell but I couldn't get the burn tool to look consistent. It was a little too streaky. Cloning also works but it is destructive so I tried something new for the one viewer with tan line problems. I didn't know about the backspace with mask button. I will make sure to include that in a future video. You ask the best questions and really pay attention to the videos ;)

[winfr34k]

I bet you can key this bluescreen beautifully.

Charles,could you have used the burn tool or the clone to get a similar effect. I also found that clicking backspace while clicking on the mask button opens it in black transparent mode. Thanks again for all your work in bringing us these training vids. BTW, love the brush mask tool in previous vid. Rud
