Description So, since it's Christmas and all and I've got several requests of tutorials over the past 1 1/2 years, I've finally taken some time to create one!
This is a really simple "de-tacking", and I think it took me 30 minutes something to make it!

My native language is not English; keep that in mind when you're reading and please try to forgive me for any potential misstakes.
And also forgive me for the really boring layout - but layouts aren't my biggest talant.


Other than that - enjoy!

The photos are mine Featuring me and Symbol. We weren't supposed to take any photos that day, which explains my horrible outfit...:/

it usually works if you give it some time. DA have done the same thing to me lots of times, and then when I log on the next day I can suddenly see the full wievs again!

Thanks a lot!

lol, no problem!

haha, finally revealing my secret ways of removing the tack!
... Which, after all, aren't that secret since I've tried to explain it plenty of times. Seem as I'm horrible at trying to explain stuff, so I'll just try to show the process instead!

I LOVE YOU!!!
THANKYOU SO MUCH!
So thats how you do it! You use an extra image. I shoulda known.

Fantastic tutorial. It'll get a lot of use!

Colourize-Stock In reply to Serephinex [2008-12-21 22:59:39 +0000 UTC]

lol, see it as a Christmas gift or something!


haha, of course!^^ I hate the healing tool, and to just try to recreate the back by only using the clone tool rarely works. So this seemed pretty effective. I've done it this way for 2 yers now, and it's just getting easier and easier.

Serephinex In reply to Colourize-Stock [2008-12-22 00:03:39 +0000 UTC]

It's one of those gifts that i'll use over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over..
and well, you get the point.
Although, I suppose this wouldn't work if you only had a singular image of the horse.
Ah well. FANTASTICO ^^

Colourize-Stock In reply to Serephinex [2008-12-22 00:17:40 +0000 UTC]

lol, I get the point!

It can sure work if you only have one photo of a horse. I've done it several times! Just find a photo of a horse in the same angle, then all you have to do is to recolour it, change the lighting/contrast/hue/saturation/lightness of the new back and it'll work out perfectly!^^
