augustya Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Now, before someone points out that I have asked similar question in the past. lol ! I know there are people here who would jump on to first pointing out that I am asking repetitive question, so let me clear it out, this is different, in the past what I have asked is brightening one side of the photo, but this photo that I have uploaded if you see there is a shadow on the left side of the mountain and my question is not about Brightening what if I want to remove the shadow from this picture and make that area of the mountain look sunny is that possible? Look forward to your responses. TIA ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it isn't different and pretty related to what you've asked x-times before in the pasts here. So in order to do what you want, you again need some selection and tweaking brightness, contrast, color channels ... etc. - It's pretty much nearly the same procedure of steps & tryouts etc. to perform here in order to alter that mountain area! augustya 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used the Clone Brush Tool to clone some of the sunnier sides of the mountain over the shadow area Hopefully the only things that will notice it's technically not the same mountain range will be a few mountain goats augustya 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

I want to add that it might be usefull to leave a little of the shadow in to make the image look more convincing. Human eyes can easily and intuitivly tell that something is wrong - even if they can't explicitly say what it is. The mountains in the right half of the pictures do have shadows and do not fit well with the manipulated mountain. d. debraspicher, jmwellborn, emmrecs01 and 1 other 4 Quote Affinity Designer 1 & 2 | Affinity Photo 1 & 2 | Affinity Publisher 1 & 2 Affinity Designer 2 for iPad | Affinity Photo 2 for iPad | Affinity Publisher 2 for iPad Windows 11 64-bit - Core i7 - 16GB - Intel HD Graphics 4600 & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M iPad pro 9.7" + Apple Pencil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is another important hint on how to 'correct' an image convincingly. There should be two slightly different zones of shadow. One that is a little darker due to the shadow cast by the sunlight and a lighter one coming from the cloud. I think @v_kyr's approach is a good start and some of the adjustments could be masked out with a paint brush. d.

thomaso Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Just now, dominik said: There should be two slightly different zones of shadow. One that is a little darker due to the shadow cast by the sunlight and a lighter one coming from the cloud. Actually three: from above (cloud) + from other mountains + from its own texture/shapes. (similar to the difference between drop & body shadow) In this case imho only the last are slightly missing and the edited impression is more a matter of low contrast (~ body shadow) than of missing drop shadows.

While the solutions posted here are all technically correct, they're not visually convincing. It just doesn't make sense that the mountains on the right have shadows while the one on left doesn't, especially since the direction and distribution of light in the scene strongly suggests that there should be at least some parts of the large mountain that are completely in the dark. mopperle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 In order to look equally realistic, such tweaks have to be applied to all sunlight beamed mountains areas here. So more in the way HVDB showed above.
