I'm finishing up my car show photos and only have the Corvette's images to edit. I shoot RAW+jpeg fine. These are just the jpeg's resized for the forum. Any editing I do will be on the NEF's. There are 2 different images below that will require Photoshop love. The owner very humbly asked me to make his car look good.
The blemishes and scratches on this first image won't be an issue, and neither will cleaning around the word Corvette. But here's the problem...I'd like to clean up the words STING RAY a little and either remove or hide some of the wax. But there isn't a large enough area to clone from.
The only thing I can think of is to create a new layer filled with a black matte color then use a layer mask to paint over the letters. Any other ideas on how I can clean up those words a little without it taking forever?
And then there's all the wax in the wheels in this second image. I'm stumped on how to clean up those spots without it being so tedious. Any ideas?
