Is it possible to remove this guy from the image

[dragonaxe]

I took this picture a few years ago now, using a Powershot A75, and love it. Unfortunately I had a real blind spot and never noticed the annoying guy on the right (or the woman at the back). Is it possible to remove him from the picture?

Someone having CS5 can do the job, with li'l ease!

The answer is yes, but there would be a lot of work involved, as you have his shadow to deal with as well.

Can't remember what software you're using. But, Adobe has come out with all sorts of fancy ways of doing this on its new version (the Adobe users will be able to tell you all about it). Have a look at this thread.

If you haven't got access to that, then it's back to the clone tool and lot of patient close-up work.

I've got Picasa, CS2, and downloaded the trial version of PSE9 last night

Nice work Sahil.

This is actually Uncle Bob. It's a rare capture because Uncle Bob's ambition in life is to appear on the family group photograph of every wedding in the UK. It is also exceptional that he is does not have his vintage Pentax and 500mm lens slung around his neck.

Scrub that. I can't be Bob he is not wearing knee socks with those Matalan trainers.

I had a mate who owned a club and he invited me along for Xmas, and you should see the hate in his wifes eyes when I managed to get into the Xmas photo.
