I had to drive back to St Paul to deal with some things for my boss, so I installed the CS6 upgrade, downloaded the pics from the camera, and started working on them. Photoshop is magic; don’t ever let anyone tell you differently.
In this first picture, there was a transformer on the right side of the photo near the top. Using content-aware, I made it go away. Instantly! The wire that ran across the front of the barn to that transformer? Gone, by virtue of the spot healing brush: Paint it along the wire and it vanishes.
One one of the back roads, I spotted this hunk driving his team across a field. Had to stop and get some photos! You don’t see this often unless you’re in an area populated by Amish. I didn’t make anything magically disappear in this shot; just put it through normal processing to bring out color and detail.
Back to Wisconsin later today. I hope to have more pictures when I return on Saturday.
When you make a line disappear, do you have to fill in the space left? Like with a clone tool?
No. That’s the beauty of it. The program analyzes every pixel around the line you are running the spot healing brush over and fills it in for you. When I did it today on the barn, it was flawless! Even close up, I couldn’t see where it had been.
Magic, I tell you!
Holy Cow! That’s real magic! Love your pictures, Fen.
Thanks, babe.
