Removing Wrinkles

I hope no one ever has to unwrinkle a shirt....but if you do run into this unfortunate situation you do not have to be a photoshot expert, you just have to have a lot of time on your hands. Especially for this one in particular that has a stripped pattern.

I spent about 2 hours on this and I could still have edited it 2 more. As small as these photos are you cannot quite appreciate the detail that went into it but with every stroke of the clone tool I had to match up the stripes. Click on the three photos to enlarge. The edges of the garment were liquified and smoothed, the right collar was straightened out, the left sleeve was brought in....the more you zoom into this image the more wrinkles you see vanish.

My biggest tips, use the clone tool at 90% opacity, keep your tool pretty small, don't overwork it, some areas are better left alone, next time just iron your shirt.
