Show us yer film shots then!

How did you do that? It even took me quite a while to find out how to correct verticals......to me Photoshop is not very friendly, maybe Lightroom would be easier but found that's not very friendly either :(

It depends on your version of Photoshop.

The latest updates have generative fill which uses AI to do all the grunt work. In this case it took less than five seconds.

You literally lasso the car and just click generative fill and it samples the image and removes whatever you’ve circled.

The healing tool in LR supposedly also does the same thing - but I’ve not found it to be as good.

I think they both programmes have their uses but to me, LR is easier to use while PS is more powerful, but seems (to me) to have more control, but a much steeper learning curve.

The biggest difference for me is that I use LR for the ‘developing’ side and PS for the ‘airbrushing’ side. And LR is better for doing batch work. And cataloging. But if I just have a couple of shots to do, then I use PS as opening single images is a lot easier.

The transform panel in LR for example is way easier to use than the similar tool in PS.

Thanks I'll have a go on my 2019/2020 ver of PS
 
I’m lucky in that I do have the latest Creative Cloud versions through work, so I’ve no idea if older versions offer this functionality.

Of course it was always possible to do it manually, but I wouldn’t have the skills to do it unless it was a very easy ‘retouch’.

Good luck.

If you find you don’t have the functionality and wanted me to do it for you I’d be happy to to do it for you if you send me the original scan.

Thanks but it's not a great shot to bother, tried to remove car with PS CS6 but gave up as couldn't find "fill in" after lassoo :(
 
gotta have a record shot showing my motorbike......parking by river Wye before Tintern...shot so grainy (about 2006 Kodak gold) had to despeckle.

Leica M6 - scanned with Fujifilm SP 3000 - (cannot exactly remember the film but it would have been Fuji) - then edit in LR

Great tonal range from the deep blacks of the two guys on the right to the whites in the mid ground.

Thanks that's very kind of you to say so - just put a new battery in my M6 and I thought that I'd run a few films through it as I have not used it for maybe 5 years

Some from the Ricoh FF3-AF I inherited.

There are definitely some light leaks which showed up way more in the roll of Cinestill I put through it. As I got this from my late father-in-law, I'm going to try and repair it.

Hopefully, I’ve managed to do this.

Bought some foam and some isopropyl alcohol.

Removed the old seals and refitted by following an online vid (below). First time I’ve ever attempted anything like this, but was fairly simple - if time consuming.

Fingers crossed.

Got the 2023 ver but don't think it's got AI, anyway used the remove tool and it did a reasonable job of removing the car:-

I should get back into posting more images here. I've fallen out of the habit as I was posting pretty much daily to Twitter, now to photog.social, part of the Mastodon Fediverse (I'm @carusb@photog.social). Anyway, here are some late winter trees in afternoon sunshine, in Abbey Fields.

I went to BRIGHTON East Sussex again on a Kirbys Coach trip with Wife and her Sister but luckily they went of 'To The Shops' and left me alone for 'Picture Hunting' -- it was BOILING HOT and SUNNY and THOUSANDS of people there so snapping was difficult also I didn;t want to duplicate same ones I took in 2012 with my Hasselblad gear. This time chose my 1962 ROLLEICORD Vb for 2002 outdated Fuji RMS E6 and my 1956 ROLLEIFLEX T for 2017 outdated Ilford XP2 400 Super -- I rated the Fuji E6 at 64 ASA and home-processed in well-used E6 and scanned as TIFFS as the scans were very Blue/Magenta so needed lots of adjustmentBRIGHTON 2024 01.jpgBRIGHTON 2024 03.jpgBRIGHTON 2024 08.jpgBRIGHTON 2024 11.jpgBRIGHTON 2024 12.jpgBRIGHTON 2024 10.jpg

I developed a couple of rolls of Fomapan 200 today. I had a dig around in my camera collection and found that I had not processed the film that I had shot in my FFFSA camera for last year's comp. I must have been asleep and missed it.
The camera is a 1950s Coronet Commander, a cheap P&S of its day. I went to great lengths to modify the 120 roll film camera to take 135 film, including most of the sprockets in the exposure. Now that the novelty has gone, I don't think that it adds anything to the image. Here's a couple that I like, around my usual area for testing cameras.
