Damage Limitation
A couple of days ago I was speaking to a friend about the different techniques we each use during post production. He mentioned that one of the things that really annoys him is the time spent removing objects and clutter from images, dust spots, stray telegraph wires, that sort of thing. Now I have multiple techniques that I use, anything from desaturating an object so it doesn’t stand out quite so much, to the usual complete removal of the offending item.
It’s that last technique that I want to share with you today, purely because almost every time I hear someone say they want to remove an object from a photo they talk about cloning it out. There are easier and better ways. I apologise in advance for the quality of this first video production, but look on the bright side, if this hadn’t been my first time with the software you’d have had heavy breathing, upwards scrolling text, and i’d have probably given it an orchestral soundtrack and called it ‘Clone Wars’ as well!
Update:
Corrected the lack of a full screen option. Clicking on the cross next to the volume control will now give fullscreen version – thanks for the feedback!
