Help with removing object and adding tatto

[Jamie Goode]

Hi all i roughly know how to put on a tattoo imagine onto a photo, [might not look amazingly good] but wondered if tere were any extra things i could do to make it look real?
Also how would i go about getting rid of a necklace chain without there being a white line where ive deleted it from??

And finally, ive used my webcam to take the picture [i know tis a low quality one and would be better using a high quality image] buuuuuuut ive googled around to see if there a way to increase the pixel count, and make it look better quality, or am i doing it all wrong?

Thanks in advance

Any possibility you could post an the image in question?

a friend of sorts said about seeing if tats would look ok on me so ive been mucking around adding them but doesnt quite look right [id add imagine, free transform, then warp into shape, then the multiply thing and bring it down a few levels to about 80 buuuut it just doesnt look like its apart of the skin.....also if i add a tattoo image to my arm you can see my hairy arm instead lol

I would suggest using Linear Burn at a reduced opacity at say 64%

I used tattoo designs on a white background with the above blend mode.

I see so linear burn instead of multiply? Can i ask what it does instead? As all the tutorials i found said use muliply [or is that just a lazy, simple way?]

Can i ask how you made the image look smoother as when ive tried it seems to pixalate, and with the arm hair removal? as i tried doing a multi layed thing but just looked awful Thanks

Multiply and Linear Burn produce similar effects....

I used Topaz DeNoise and Nik Software CEP 3.0 Low Key for the smoother look.

Oh i see, i did wondered if youd used another program lol. With with regards to the tatoo-ing, using linear burn, [white background image] do you do anything else, warping etc?

Did you use both of those programs so Topaz DeNoise and then Nik Software, then that imagine into photoshop???

 

[Inkz]

Topaz and Nik Software are expensive plugins for Photoshop (Topaz not too expensive)....

And yes, transform and warp to fit.

I see, thats wy you managed to get the sort of quality you got [you pay for what you get lol] And thank you again for your help
