Hi Guys,

Here is a street candid I took on the weekend, I would like some advice on the best way to remove the pole from behind the girl. I have tried Cloning and also he patch tool in CS3 but neither looked quite right.

Thanks for looking

I selected her head then inversed the section then cloned the black area over the pole.... I finished it off with a little bit of the healing brush just to soften the edges on the lighter area (to the right).. and it worked a treat.. took about 45 secs..

I'd post it but you don't way whether editing your images is okay or not.. if its not lets just assume that the above post is hypothetically speaking...

For a quick result, you may even get away with using the eyedropper tool to select the colour near the pole, which on my screen seems to be dark brown, pretty much.
Then select a brush big enough to paint out the pole, and away you go.

Or use the burn tool to burn the pole in a bit more into the background.

Thanks guys,
I'll give these a try, feel free to post any of yor efforts

Cheers
Rod
