Lol !! Whatever cables they are, they ruin EVERY shot I take !!! This being a VERY small town dating from the 1800's, and some areas the 1700's, all the houses are right on the streets.....even the neat old barns !!! Not sure if I'm a fan of progress anymore !!

Marvin,
I really just wanted to show what SnapHeal could do without any other adjustment. It really did take no more than three minutes start-to-finish to do the motorbike removal. I use it to do the initial clean up and then take the output of Snapheal into PhotoShop to tidy it up.

Ok i missed judged, but i would have done the whole thing in photoshop. i don't work for speed i work for a good final output or else its not worth doing but like i said thats me from my work.

Yes but Adobe examples are ideal scenarios. It does work, but some scenes it has a lot of trouble with and you will revert back to the clone tool.

For an easy learning curve, I might also suggest Picasa. I use Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 for most of my work but always recommend Picasa for newcomers to digital image processing.

Merry Christmas. Tell them to get the hell out of the way. Betcha get a lot of Photo Shop recomnendations. Seriously, take your time lining up the picture and look for apparent objects ie poles and trees looming up out of the top of someone's head. Be willing to move. Most of the time, you'll be able to navigate around such objects. I have been able to set up most shots by shooting almost everything with a 28/105 zoom. What I can't physically navigate around, I can navigate into or away from the the offending object, What I'm trying to say is, Photo Shop is for mechanics---The Masters never had Photo Shop. Use your eye, brain and lens. By the way, I've been at this over 50 years, ran my own dark room for years. When I finally gave into digital, I swore I'd never manipulate another shot outside the camera. I don't consider myself a beginner, but the free Picasa is all I have ever needed in a pinch.......C

Well, of course,but some of the time that method of taking your time lining it up, just does not work. I think the original question was for the times when it just isn't in the cards. The bird or butterfly may not land in the exact spot you want it to where there is no twig or shadow in the way. sometimes , a lot of the time, you wait, you loose, no second chances. Unless, that is, you clicked fast then photoshopped later. There are times for patience and taking your time. But if you realize that the opportunity could be fleeting and you want that shot? take the shot first, then if you can move for the better shot you got lucky. If all else fails, fix the one you got.

Four very nice shots, each well photographed and well composed - most unusual for this site. But, how did you manage to get the text in without post editing? Glass plates?

I have been using PhotoShop 3 and 5 and find them both great for this purpose.

There's a lot of folks out there that are proud of the fact that they don't use imaging programs, and (as they say) most of the time it's the photographers fault for a bad picture.
This would hold true if this were a perfect world, but it ain't.
I'm also very aware of old technology that was used in film days, some of it's good assets irreplaceable.
As to those who claim you can just move out of the way of an unwanted object. I say you must live in the countryside where you have that opportunity. Try taking pictures of buildings and houses in a city or urban area.
How did the film mechanics get rid of wires and trees in those days and produce a satisfactory image comparable to what we can do today?...Witness NYweb2001's house comparison. I rest my case.

Photoshop CS5 and Elements 10 have what is called content awareness which can be used to take out unwanted objects. The clone stamp can also be useful. Corel Painthshop pro X4 also has this capability. You can download all of these for free on a trial basis and this allows you to use this feature in order to see what works for you.
