Hey I got a question for any photo editing peoples out there. In the following picture, what’s the best way to remove the out of focus blade of grass that’s on the left hand side in the foreground? I’ve tried using the burn tool, and it seems to work somewhat well, but I want to make sure there’s nothing better available. If it were against a less busy background I’d use the healing tool, but I don’t think it would work well here. It would be nice if I could somehow just selectively “burn” that particular hue so as not to destroy any other details, but I’m kind of a newbie at this so I’m not sure how to do that (or if it would even work well).
Can’t help, but that ladybug picture is awesome and beautiful in its preview frame (unlike pictures that are ugly most of the time and need to be clicked to reveal their beauty). You may have mastered the art of good looking previews on the forum! More seriously, it’s really great.
And that waterbug isn’t ugly, I find it very cute.
There’s no easy way of doing that I’m afraid. You’re on the money with the burn tool though, I’ve just coupled that with the sharpen tool as well to temper some of the softer edges. I did a little bit of knocking the highlights back too with the burn tool just to keep the focus more central. Beyond that you’re getting into patching in bits from the rest of the image to create more ‘detail’.
Seems the large ones got a thing for taking off early in a photo session: I had spotted this one (an aptly named “Yokozuna” one, here), but could barely get within distance.
That is so fascinating!
It reminds me of another collage effort from God: the mole Crickets. They were pretty common here a few dozen years before, but I have yet to spot one!
