How to Remove Backdrop Creases in Photoshop & Refine Stray Hairs [How to Smooth Wrinkled Backdrops] 

Great tutorial! To the point, and extremely easy to follow. I was freaking out editing some professional headshots, and you've greatly reduced my anxiety!

This is one of my problems that sometimes I don’t notice until I’m in the editing stage. Thank you.

I have to agree with the comment regarding the impossibility of where you where using the brush. You might want to re-edit your commentary to say where you were working, i.e., right border, top of head, etc. I did enjoy the technique very much.

Great video, thanks! Was wondering what you do if you have shadows on the backdrop, like when you have somebody sitting on a seamless backdrop and you do a full body shot?

Hi Kayleigh, what do you recommend when you have texture (high Fstop) or noise in the background, the blur kills it all and doesn't look natural. Re-add Noise?

Heeey Kayleigh, I love your tutorials. They were really helpful to me in different times of my learning. I love your taste for natural retouch. I suggest you for these technique to try the smart selection of Ps 2021, first you click on select subject and then refine hair and you will improve your time. :) The best from Mexico

Fantastic technique - works very well. I do wish I could find a method that could be automated more as I work on hundreds of images with black fabric backgrounds that show lines and creases.

Hi, when I try this step with the black brush it just makes my subject darker than it should be? Instead of "revealing" the portrait that we cut out earlier it reveals it and darkens it significantly but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong!

Imagine a very happy golden retriever...licking your face with joy and love. Thanks.

When I try this technique my photo looks like a collage at the end... As if the portrait were copy-paste to the backgroung. how to reduce this effect please ?

thanks cuz them cloth backdrops are a pain with the wrinkles. I thought I was gonna have to buy an paper one last minute... life saver

This is so good, have a lot of techniques, but this one is so easy

My mask keeps painting the subject black instead of revealing them.

Thanks! To make it a bit faster, after filling the background, I’d “select subject” from the background layer and apply it as a layer mask on the new one to reveal the portrait. Then clean up. Just a thought!

amazing thank you so easy to follow

I love you! Thank you!

Nice and simple

Thank you for uploading this video.

No noise, banding??

is there an action for this ?

Hiya amazing video, I managed to edit a dog portrait really well. On my next one though it kept coming up with ‘could not fill as there isn’t enough pixels on the selected layer’ all the other options I have selected correctly so no idea why this isn’t working… any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Not only I enjoyed but also I learnt a lot from your tutorial! Thank you so much Kayleigh, your tutorials and tips are very informative! Good luck!

You're a lifesaver. This will help me in photos I'd simply given up on because my hair is very hard to work with and cleaning the fly-aways this way is SO clean. Thank you so much.

Thank you

Hello! when I go back in with the brush to color in with black foreground it paints the image back in but it looks almost see through like its not painting with full opacity? what could I do be doing wrong ?

Omg!!!!! All I can say right now is thank you so much!!! I’ve looked at so many videos on here to help me figure how to remove the wrinkles in my client’s backdrop I’ve literally been wrecking my brain for like 5 days straight. I was so determined to figure it out!! I would normally use the paper drop but carrying it with you in the car can be so much to handle and risk it getting crushed during the commute. I’m new in the photography industry and this video have just made me so happy that I was able to figure it out with your easy, simple and straight to the point. Great steps I was able to follow with no problem thank you so much!! Lifesaver!!

Now imagine you making every step of this tutorial in dozens of photos, you will go insane.

Hy!! It’s such a great video and so quick. Can you tell me if it can be done while editing a video??

Thank you so much! Your tutorial was easy to follow and straight forward. You saved me so much time.

This video is sooooo helpful thank you! Question: What screen recording software do you use?

This was absolutely ridiculously quick I would have never thought of that method

Thank you so much for this tutorial; it helped me tremendously!

I usually make a detailed selection of the subject, then blur the BG to avoid the halos on the hair

I've learnt something new. Thanks June

Fantastic!!

When you get to the stage of using the white brush to take away the stray hairs, I can’t see where your cursor/brush actually is? So I have no idea what you’re doing. I didn’t even know where you were retouching in that segment of the tutorial. It’s sounded very effective, whatever it was you did!

Thank u so much!!! ⚡😀📸

Great video

Thank you!

This is great information!! Thank you Kayleigh :)

Another great tutorial.Thank you so much ❤️🙏

That’s a very dope way to take care of it to start. Thanks for this!!
