These look too good to touch to me.

Great idea for this discussion. Here's one I've never gotten around to. I hate the power lines and poles all over, my mind subtracts them but the camera sees all.

A little content aware fill in CS5 does the trick.

[Linda and "Toby"]

Wow, Richard! I'm in awe of how you transformed this photo by removing that pole and those power lines and bumping up the saturation. (And a bit of sharpening?) I haven't played around with "content aware fill" yet. it appears to be very intuitive. This sure does look natural! Gorgeous photo, btw, F!

Thanks, much more gorgeous now : )

[F, Calla & Luca]

Ah bless you, what a difference. Thanks.

Which version of CS5 do you have. I have been thinking about getting this but thats alot of money to spend on soothing I just tinker with. Do you use it alot?

[Linda and "Toby"]

Personally, I have the full working version (not "extended") and can't imagine using anything else. I shoot in RAW, delete all the ones I don't like, then tweak/optimize (adjust color, contrast, sharpness, etc) all the "keepers" using CS5. I enjoy the process of taking them into my digital darkroom, so to speak, and playing with them. :)

Did you know images from the Hubble telescope are considered public domain (our tax dollars paid for the telescope to capture these) and anyone can use them - even in commercial artwork? Check these out! For more images go to: http://hubblesite.org/gallery/

Thanks for the tip Linda.   Feeling pretty insignificant after viewing  these Hubble shots!
