Right,

I'm quite pleased with this photo, sort of, but how do I remove the rather irritating people at the foot of it?

Any help, as always, greatly appreciated!

I'm also so stupid I've not attached the pic.


Oh, for some reason it won't attach.

I've downsized it to 800 pixels and tried to upload it, which it's says it's done on here, but nowt is happening!

We'll need something a bit bigger than that.

But TBH I quite like the people, they give it a sense of scale.

Re: Pleased with the pic, but PS help needed!!

I think it's better with people too... maybe you could clone out two of the people and just leave the one guy looking up at it. In fact I quite like the idea of that... very metaphorical

I'm assuming you haven't actually purchased your copy of CS2 then?

Re: Pleased with the pic, but PS help needed!!

WooHoo!!

In a previous thread someone mentioned I should straighten the horizon out on one of my pics.

All Hail me for I am God of photography (Couldn't be more tongue in cheek if I tried!) But I've done it!!

What do you think?

What else would I need to do to it in your opinions?

The clone stamp has been in photoshop for the last 12 years. It should be the default tool, not the pattern stamp, which can be acessed by clicking and holding.

I can't believe you have had CS2 for several month, but have yet to find this tool

I've lightened the foreground a little, added some detail to the slightly blownout sun.



Again, you'd be better of doing this with the original, hi res file.

Sorry i thought there was a clone stamp and a clone tool that you were talking about, i am still new to it all i will give it a go. I see by some of your work you use it a lot and use the tools to there limit but as i have only had the program a few months, still finding my feet with it

Just got my latest updates lots of stock photos and some Raw updates so will now give it a go see how it works i see you use it like a brush!!

Thanks shane
