How did you do that? It even took me quite a while to find out how to correct verticals......to me Photoshop is not very friendly, maybe Lightroom would be easier but found that's not very friendly either :(

It depends on your version of Photoshop.

The latest updates have generative fill which uses AI to do all the grunt work. In this case it took less than five seconds.

You literally lasso the car and just click generative fill and it samples the image and removes whatever you’ve circled.

The healing tool in LR supposedly also does the same thing - but I’ve not found it to be as good.

I think they both programmes have their uses but to me, LR is easier to use while PS is more powerful, but seems (to me) to have more control, but a much steeper learning curve.

The biggest difference for me is that I use LR for the ‘developing’ side and PS for the ‘airbrushing’ side. And LR is better for doing batch work. And cataloging. But if I just have a couple of shots to do, then I use PS as opening single images is a lot easier.

The transform panel in LR for example is way easier to use than the similar tool in PS.

Thanks I'll have a go on my 2019/2020 ver of PS
 
I’m lucky in that I do have the latest Creative Cloud versions through work, so I’ve no idea if older versions offer this functionality.

Of course it was always possible to do it manually, but I wouldn’t have the skills to do it unless it was a very easy ‘retouch’.

Good luck.

If you find you don’t have the functionality and wanted me to do it for you I’d be happy to to do it for you if you send me the original scan.

Thanks but it's not a great shot to bother, tried to remove car with PS CS6 but gave up as couldn't find "fill in" after lassoo :(
 
gotta have a record shot showing my motorbike......parking by river Wye before Tintern...shot so grainy (about 2006 Kodak gold) had to despeckle.

Great tonal range from the deep blacks of the two guys on the right to the whites in the mid ground.

Thanks that's very kind of you to say so - just put a new battery in my M6 and I thought that I'd run a few films through it as I have not used it for maybe 5 years

Some from the Ricoh FF3-AF I inherited.

There are definitely some light leaks which showed up way more in the roll of Cinestill I put through it. As I got this from my late father-in-law, I'm going to try and repair it.

Hopefully, I’ve managed to do this.

Bought some foam and some isopropyl alcohol.

Removed the old seals and refitted by following an online vid (below). First time I’ve ever attempted anything like this, but was fairly simple - if time consuming.

Fingers crossed.

Got the 2023 ver but don't think it's got AI, anyway used the remove tool and it did a reasonable job of removing the car:-
