Re: PESO: Cloning Exercise
Pretty nice job, Dan! I used to do a lot of this kind of thing but my photography has changed such that I mostly just spot here and there, and only once in a while now. Photoshop (and a few others) does this stuff pretty well, with a whole array of tools at your disposal. But it always takes time and effort to get nice results. Lightroom's tools are not as exacting and complete, but do pretty well for most of what I need now. I haven't touched Photoshop in several years at this point, don't think I even remember how to make the magic happen any more! G > Daniel J. Matyola wrote on 5/9/19 8:29 AM: >> I agree, Paul.

Re: PESO: Cloning Exercise
I use the clone and heal brushes to remove things in lightroom. I find that they work best on plain background, such as the sky, and I frequently have to readjust where the source image comes from to get the background color right, or to make the lines straight along the edge of something. It often helps to do it in smaller pieces. Daniel J. Matyola wrote on 5/9/19 8:29 AM: I agree, Paul. I started to fall asleep and stopped at this point.

The photography that García Márquez did not like ...
Hi All, "The photography that García Márquez did not like but ended up on the cover of 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' " - that's the title of the article in El Pais. This article is a story about how Rodrigo Moya, a Mexican photographer, was taking a photo of the Nobel Prize-winning writer García Márquez for the cover of his book. https://elpais.com/cultura/2019/05/06/actualidad/1557167891_935004.html Here is a (mostly reasonable) translation by Google Translate: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl==es=en=https%3A%2F%2Felpais.com%2Fcultura%2F2019%2F05%2F06%2Factualidad%2F1557167891_935004.html Here is one part that sounds especially interesting: ``The last word, however, was that of the editor, the Hispano-Mexican painter Vicente Rojo, who discarded all the photos. "I saw Rojo as an enemy of photography," says Moya, in a complaint without grudges. "I changed the frame, I put paint on the photos, I put them on my head, it was crazy," recalls the photographer.''
