Wow, thanks for that but I was looking for something that I might be able to print and put up on my lounge room wall!
Can you be a bit more supportive and helpful?
This made me laugh more then the picture!
You will receive plenty of 'proper' edits, of which I'm sure one will be good enough for your wall, Art's edit is for laughs, take it in good humour :)
While I'm at work an unable to play w/ it in photoshop, I don't see any sort of post-processing that could save the photo. Some photos just cannot be saved - like ones that are blurry, out of focus, or noisy.
Maybe the full-sized original could be changed somehow, but not a 800x500 photo - there's just not enough info.
Just a suggestion... you could update the image in your workshop, replacing the web-sized one with the original. This would give us a full-sized image to work on.
I was going to give it a go, but Cory's result is above and beyond anything that I could produce.
I think you should go with that one. Its a great improvement to the original.
I had to see how Content Aware would do on that house. I selected it, deleted, and BAM, it was damn near perfect. There were just two small spots that took me two clicks to clean up. I would call this a Content Aware success story.
Photoshop CS5 Content aware to remove house roof
Topaz Adjust (Exposure Color Stretch preset with some added slider adjustments)
Slight levels adjustment to bring in the dark end
Sharpen
Topaz Denoise
Cloned a little to clean up the content aware that looked too obvious
Gradients from the edges to give a little vignette
Sorry, I didnt mean for my previous comment to be on the narky side, it was meant in jest.
ARTROFL, thanks for your contribution, it did make me lol and it does look good on your wall but I fear it would not be complemented as well in my lounge room by my style of furniture!
On a more serious note, as much as I would love to work with photoshop, I only have GIMP to edit images so please be easy on me.
The original image is here as requested.
Thanks for all the comments, and sorry, I didnt mean to upset anyone, honestly x
Here is my edit:
Open in photoshop raw adjust exposure, temperature, vibrance and saturation
open to photoshop
make a new layer
adjust curves to lighten foreground a touch
Erase over sky back to original
neat image to remove noise
You can get older versions of photoshop elements for around $25-35. Do a google search for photoshop elements OEM. I got my photoshop element 7 for $35. It will be the best $35 you ever spend!
