It was a beautiful Saturday and people were out making pictures. The Old Mill was C-R-O-W-D-E-D crowded. I set up on a tripod and made the picture below labeled "Before". Keeping the same setup and settings I made eleven more shots at intervals of a couple of minutes allowing the crowd to move around. Back at home I loaded all twelve images into Photoshop Elements as layers. With the top layer selected I used the Lasso tool (feathered to 3 pixels) to draw selections around the people on that layer and pressed backspace. This deleted the selections and the people on that layer leaving a "hole" to see through to the layer below it. I selected the next layer below and where people on that layer were showing through the hole I repeated the process. After working down through seven layers I had all the people removed from the image. I hid the unused layers and saved it as a JPEG. After applying a high pass filter the result is shown below as the "After" image.
