With Photoshop Elements is there a way other than the cloning tool to remove power lines? Thanks.
Not as familiar with Elements, does it have a Healing Brush tool?
successfully removing wires can depend mostly on what the adjacent pixels are like. ( ie...against a solid color sky - vs- through trees or against buildings) Other than cloning, or the healing brush, the only other method that sometimes works, is simply selecting a long thin area just above or below the wires, go to REFINE EDGE and feather the selected area a bit, then COPY and PASTE it right back into the layer. Use the SELECT tool to show the pasted selection and then slide it right over the wires and it "may" hide the area nicely. Just another method to play with....
the healing brush works fine for that in PS elements.
You'd be surprised what it will do.
Also, snipping out a section right next to your offending powerline and dragging it over the powerline and then feathering the edges with the eraser tool also works...you just gotta play around to see what comes out best in your circumstances.
Using wire cutters before you take the photo can save you the headache of finding the right tool within PhotoShop.

Greg! A man after my own heart.
Your name sounds familiar. Don't we report to the same Parole Officer?
