|
|
Hi All, my husband took the the attached photo, he said it was the only direction he could go to get the light right, but unfortunately there are lots of cars in the background.
I want to get rid of the cars and have tryed healing brush, pasting the trees and path, but i can get it to look right,
What would you suggest would work?
Many thanks!
Nickie

You'll need to use time, patience and the clone tool. If necessary find another photo with background elements you can use. You can clone from one image into another, in case you didn't know. Always clone to a separate layer, it makes correcting mistakes so much easier.
I did this rather quickly so it's not perfect, but as you can see it can be done.

Thanks so much for your reply, i will try and be patient again! unfortunately there isnt another none cluttered background pic i can clone from, i was tempted to go and shoot one as that would have been easier!

I would make a separate layer for the people, then with the layer underneath clone (or healing brush or patch ) out people so you only have trees, then mask out the cars in the top (people) layer.
