Michael I Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Hello i need help with this problem: i have a picture with a painted white brick wall. So you see all of the bricks. There is a shadow i want to remove from the wall. How do i do this? I have tried the clone brush but then i get a wall with the bricks not in place anymore. Thanks Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Hello Mihcael and welcome to the Affinity forums🙂 Not sure if there is a minimum number of post you need to make before you can attach images here, but If you can post some screenshots or the image itself, it will be much easier for people to suggest what option you maybe have for removing the shadows.

Thanks for that, please see my screen recording below showing how I would approach this using the Patch Tool, Colour Replacement Brush and a bit of InPainting - please do let me know if you have any questions 2020-07-31 15-17-06.mp4 Old Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried creating a selection of the shadows and inpainting them, however it doesn't appear as though there's enough 'information' around the shadows to replace them cleanly. I also tried using the Dodge tool to manually remove the shadows - this did work but left some white fringing around the edited areas. I then tested using the Recolour Brush and HSL adjustments but these too did not match smoothly with your image. Personally, I would remove the background from this image using the selection tools, then replace it with any background you want - as this will give you full control over artificial lighting, shadows, etc!

Michael I Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 Thank you Dan for you answer. But i managed to keep the background and get rid of the shadow thanks to Smadell's answer Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
