March 13, 2007 at 4:58 pmi would think that a feather mask on a flesh colored solid would help you get there… try a few different blend modes too. you could even track her nipples if needed.

March 13, 2007 at 5:03 pmwell what iv done is iv applied a mask with blur on a adjustment layer and created a mask with feather of
10% its looks pretty much good,BUT her nipple is black and i get this black spot,its not well seen but i can see it its blurd and featherd..i want to get rid of that black. -

March 13, 2007 at 5:28 pmthat’s why i would create a new solid (a little bigger than you need) that is the color of her breast. then, draw a circular mask (again a litle bigger than you need) and feather that. now position that over her nipple and see how well that hides it.
if that looks too flat, then you might try adding a ramp to give it some shading to try and better match her breast. you may even want to add some noise if you need to match some graininess of the footage.

March 13, 2007 at 5:30 pmI can’t believe I’m writing this…
Track the nipples (it shouldn’t be too hard if you have that kind of contrast happening)
Create two solids roughly the size of what you want to cover, mask ’em and feather ’em.
Apply the tracking data as position data to the solids (make sure anchor point is where it needs to be).
Duplicate the footage layer, use the solids as a track matte and apply the “replace color” filter, removing the darker color. Blur the end result and done.

P.S. Can’t say I’ve actually used this on breasts but this technique came in handy when removing a rather large bee-sting blemish from an on screen talent.

March 13, 2007 at 5:37 pmYou might try the effect: Fill.
Choose a color close to the aforementioned globes and feather the masks, very artsy and there will be no black spots peeking through.

March 13, 2007 at 6:16 pmInstead of (or before) blurring,
use a minimax effect (set to maximum): the maximum will let the neighboring lighter pixels “overpower” the darker nippixels,Also try substitung Median instead of blur, I use it often as a “Blur that colors within the lines”
IE, it won’t turn some black pixels on a white BG into a much larger pool of grey,
