I did it

I bought the upgrade: Photoshop CS5. I have been playing with it, and learning the new features. I do believe some of them will change the way some photographers can work with their shots.

Here is the before shot. I want to remove the car in the background and remove the people playing on the rocks. I also wanted to make the shot less 'snapshot' like by cropping, and boost up the color a bit. This original shot is a film photo, scanned onto my computer using Photoshop CS5.






Using the cropping tool, which has a great grid feature, content aware fill (new), the spot healing brush tool with content aware (new) and the clone stamp tool, I was able to get rid of the car and those pesky tourists. Great new features I think I will use alot of since I like to do photo retouching.

  1. I don't know how you got CS5 already? I ordered it when it first was announced and it isn't going to be shipped until the end of this month. I wonder what is going on with that? I like some of the new features and have seen demonstrations on them. It sure will help me out a lot. And how do you like it compared to CS4?

  4. I belong to NAPP and got the release on discount and a little early. I am using online video and text lessons to learn the new features.

  5. The difficulty level? The same as CS 4 for me. I am still learning, and probably will be for years to come. I would say the removal of the car was easy to moderate, the removal of the tourists was easy. Too bad not like real life.
