I use Photoshop 7.
I have got 3 fishing photograph's, holding a fish.
There are shadows running across the fish (mostly) & I have tried to change the colour so the shadow is the same colour as the fish. I've tried the clone stamp tool mostly, but am not getting 100% the result. So am hoping you photoshoper's can/maybe able to help!!!I have included 1 picture here.........

The clone tool is the way to go but make sure you dont try to do too big an area ot once. Also you could try duplicating the layer and on the bottom layer select the shadowed area with the lasso tool then use image>adjustments>hue/saturation to get the hues close to the unshaded areas( check the colorize box). Then use your clone stamp on the top layer and when you have finished cloning reduce the opacity of that layer.

PS. when having your photo taken holding a fish you have caught always stretch your arms as far out in front of you as you can, it makes the fish appear bigger than it is.

Thanks for your guidance. I tried and tried with the clone stamp tool to get the colour of the shadows the same as without shadows, ....patience is a virtue....I shall try again:)

ps, It is not me, I volunteerd to touch up 3 of these photo's (all the same fish) like I say I will try again./Otherwise the fish would be REALLY BiG! Lol

Thanks again :P

first of all you will be under need of Photshop cs4 for doing it in a better way..but if you only have 7 then too you can do it..you need to use the effects feature..at the lower corner of layer window...add shadow of the color you need..and you are done..
