Avoid Tan Lines

Tan lines are very tricky to get rid of in Photoshop. They curve around the shoulders in such a way that it makes the process time consuming. So, I usually will only work on the ones where they are glaringly obvious and important.

There are a few things you can do to avoid tan lines:

• Use sunblock, lots of it. Or, stay out of the sun… but who really wants to do that!
• Make sure your swimsuit has the same cut as the wedding dress. This way you can tan and it won’t be obvious.
• Take a bronzing powder with you just in case. Bronzing powders won’t actually change the color of your skin… it’s more like a base that will match the tan lines to the surrounding area.

There you have it! A few simple things you can do to make your photographer’s life a little bit easier and s/he will love you for it.
