Default Photoshopping out... ahem, undergarments

So, I did a shoot with 2 beautiful girls on Saturday. For overly squeamish guys, this would be the time to stop reading. Girls and normal guys... proceed

Anyway, the girl happened to be wearing a white bra... under a black shirt. And you can clearly see the under garment through the shirt in some of the pictures. I guess I'm wondering what the best way to go about Photoshopping this out is. Keep in mind, I'm not overly adept so the simplest approach possible is appreciated. *giggles*

I used the clone tool to edit out the strap when it would occasionally peep out from the tank top straps. But not really sure what to do about this. Ideas?

I'm pretty adept with photoshop but it would be easier to give you advice as to the best way of getting rid of the white bra if you posted one of the photographs (with it showing, of course).

Healing tool. If you post the photo, one of us could work on it for you.

I would probably break out the Patch tool.

There are a million different ways to do this. Hard to say what will work best with out actually seeing an image.

I assume the result you're looking for is to make the subject look nude under some outer clothing? I'm just asking cos' we've got a forum for nude (and pushing the boundary, nearly nude) subjects and just want to clarify that we're out in the "young innocents (and people at work) can see it area" in case anyone had, erm, bodily examples to share.

Thanks,

Wulf

No Wulf, I believe what she wants to do is just make the bra blend with the black shirt and not see all the white. All I am assuming it would be is brushing black over the visible white parts.

That's what it sounds like to me too.


The Healing brush should do the trick...

The question though is what program are you using for photo editing?

Selecting by color may also be helpful. How textured is the black shirt? Are you trying to keep ruffles or lace, or some other pattern on it? Occasionally it's easier to select the shirt and crank the contrast way up to make it BLACK black as opposed to the grey-black lighting often gives you.
