My First Photoshop

February 6th, 2008 by Iain · 1 Comment

Last of the Thursley pond pics from Saturday morning. We’ll be back to the hounds very soon ;-) This is probably my favourite because of the curving contrail*, and the snake-like reflection of it.

This is also my first proper attempt with doing some Photoshopping: I cloned out some grass that was spoiling it. In all honesty it was a rush job, but even so, it really does improve the picture.

Thursley, cloned

Don’t know what’s happened with the conversion to jpeg though - seems noisier/softer than the others :-( (I just haven’t had time to see what I can change.)

And no, there aren’t any prizes for pointing out where I did my cloning!

*@rse! The smaller pic doesn’t really show the contrail well. Click through for the bigger picture.

    Taking out the stray grass is a definite improvement but what happened to the reflections of cloud in the foreground (or forewater in this instance!) ?
