photoshop request!

**rmb** · 15th August 2007

Hi Guys.

I was out on friday night with a few freinds, and the one photo which is quite nice, is runied by an arm! Now, I have got a 2nd picture, which shows the background without the arm, so if possible, and i would be extremely gratefull, if anyone could photoshop the arm out of the pic, and replace it with the background which should be there, i know this might be a bit of a long shot, but im afraid My photography/editing skills are virtually non existant.

1st pic with arm in the way!

2nd pic showing background!

once again, i will be very gratfull for any attempt of making the 1st picture nice!

thanks

russ

Wish I knew how. Incidentally, Try to open them in CS3 or PSP and both say they're not valid JPEGS... yet MS Paint opened it perfectly fine... resaved as a JPEG and not CS3 allows me to open it. Odd.

strange, they are taken with a camera phone, if that makes any difference?

I don't have anywhere near the skills to do that but maybe another approach would work

Be honest, is that more accurate?

Was that girl actually eating her food or just shuffling it round her plate. Give her some meat and two veg as that will probably do her the power of good?

Moss - can you run through what you did?

Looks like the photoshop equivalent of a cut and shut.

That's brilliant. Wish i could do that

This was only a quick one, the longer you spend erasing and blending the images the better the over all effect would be.....
