Does anyone use this? It is bloody amazing!

Only used it for a couple of hours to remove a HUGE part of a photograph and it looks quite good. Not the best but it was only the first time I've used it.

I would post the start/end results but I fear of piss taking as it's something sentimental (my gran) and don't want people taking the piss.

Have had it for a few months (even got work to buy it!) and agree that its an excellent piece of software. It's capabilities far out-weigh mine and some of the tools, like content aware delete, seem to use a touch of black magic!

I fully agree, content aware is unbelievable though obviously not learned how to use all the tools yet will post the image I've edited.

As mentioned, it's not the best but will do for what I want. You may be able to help me with some things actually as there are a few things which could be improved and I'm just not sure how to do it.

OK here are the pics which I was working on earlier, for 2 hours work, I thought it was ok and good enough for what I need.

However, things I would like to know would be how to fade out shadows and put a definite line down the jacket on the left hand side (as you look at the pics) where the collar would overlap, similar to that on the right.

That grey square looks remarkable.. well done wink


In all seriousness, thats good work. Did you use the clone tool? I have CS2, do you think it's worth an upgrade?

Blimey.




I'd have moved the flowers though. Two seconds work with Left Hand 1.0 smile

(if someone else gave you the photo then fair enough)

I did say it was a sensitive photograph and thought it best to remove the face as I didn't want any piss-taking taking place with it.

Used the clone tool, content aware delete, spot healing brush and a few others, it is an amazing piece of kit, could be worth an upgrade if you're willing to pay the money, depends how much much it would get used and how much it would help you, I think quite a bit.

As the second poster said, it's powers are way beyond my capability, so doubt I will ever be upgrading, unless something outstanding comes about in a newer version.

hehe

Unfortunately, the photograph is about 5 years older than I am and she passed on about 11 years ago so the chances of getting a re-take are quite slim. Granted, the person who took the photo should have maybe moved the flowers, but it was a snap taken at a wedding, probably wasn't the first thing on their mind.

Oh I don't know - there's always CS5 Extended to knock her back into shape...
