I have a slight problem, ok a BIG problem, I took pictures at my great-nephews baseball game at State and unfortunately, could not get close to the action-huge screen around the field of play. My problem is I had to take the pictures and you can see the netting. I am a true beginner with PSE10 - can someone tell me what would be the easiest way of doing post-processing removing the net, or is it possible? Please help.

I would move this to the main photography heading to find the editing pros. We have many members who are wonderful at manipulating photos and I am not sure many are here in the sports section.

Removing is hardly worth the effort - it could take a hour or more per image - and the results might not so great anyway. The solution is to get as close to that screen as possible - lens even touching it. You will still get interference from the screen, but the lines will be much less in-focus.

There is no solution to this that is a good solution.

I put the lens hood on the fence and took the pics. It worked well for me.

When I was faced with this challenge and could not physically move from my location, I put my lens right up to the fence, changed the settings to all manual and then focused on my subject that was beyond the fencing. The images turned out fairly good. The slight impression of the fence is there but in a barely noticeable artistic fashion. Good luck!

Thank you Kathleen, I will try this tomorrow when my great-nephew starts his summer softball season. Have a great day!! Hope to see more of your images on UHH. Carol
