Hi Everyone,
In hindsight I should have just ironed out the creases and made sure prior to taking photos that the backdrop was smooth – lesson learnt!
However, I was just wondering how others try to elimate any creases etc in material backdrop and making it a consistent blur when taking photos of newborns using Photoshop CS5 or otherwise, What tools are best, I've tried a few but haven't had a lot of luck.
I'm hoping this topic may help others as well as sometimes creases are unavoidable but probably easy to remove in photoshop (if you know what you're doing!!)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance

I have CS3 and I just use the color dropper and select the color next to the crease and then select a small soft round brush. I lower the opacity to 20% and paint over the crease slowly as so it looks natural and then sometimes I run a healing brush over it to even it out!
Sorry I’m not more help!

I use clamps to pull my fabric tight, so even if its wrinkled when I start, I can pull it tight enough so you can't see them. If I have a wrinkle in PP, I use a combo of the healing brush, clone and then using the eye dropper tool and picking a color and painting it out.

I use the patch tool! Select an area just next to the crease then move it over the crease. If there are any minor differences I use spot healing to blend.

Me too!!! I made this mistake on my very first session. Lesson learned. I use the patch tool and the run a gaussian blur filter to smooth the background.

I don't know much about Photoshop, but I DO love the patch tool! Definitely try it.

When I do my studio shots with backdrops, I ALWAYS run a surface blur, and use the magic wand to select the backdrop color.
It just looks so much cleaner, and any wrinkles, creases, or dirt smudges are poof! gone!
