Before and After in Hong Kong

18. January 2018

Whenever using Adobe Photoshop to change the look of a photograph, I try to be decent using the software. Decent meaning, I never add things to my photographs.

There are software components out there that replace the sky automatically, but those things I never do. Then what do I do in Adobe Photoshop? I remove things – things that are distracting to the eye in a photo.

Sometimes there are things in a photo that do not belong there, and I was simply unable to change; like dirt in an ocean or here in this photo a manhole and some graffities on the wall. Look at both the photos to see the difference.

I use the “Spot Healing Brush Tool” in Adobe Photoshop to remove objects. Hit [J] on your keyboard to activate it – make sure that “Content Aware” is enabled on the selection at the top. Select the size of the brush and start removing!

When it is just sensor dust, I use the Adobe Lightroom function for this (Keyboard [Q]). But when it is more complex I think that Adobe Photoshop does a better job.

  • Do you want to learn photography?

    Do it with me and jump over to my store. There are several eBooks and presets I have been working on over the past few years – no kidding, it took me quite some time to make all this happen! And I am still working on it, there is more to come!
