Specific Can someone remove the man from this image?

[heyandrea]

Looking to see if the man can be removed and generally touch up these photos. Thanks in advance!


Mod edit: One edit per request please. Thanks.

This is fairly difficult because his arms are covering both of your shoulders and much of your upper body. Once I erase his arms, all the rest of you behind his arms would need to be created based on very little information. Not sure if I'm able to do it.

I was going to give it a try anyway until I realized that, once the man is removed, your right hand will be left floating in the air in an awkward, unnatural pose. One possible fix is to erase your entire right forearm and substitute a new arm hanging straight down behind your leg. Either way, it would be a lot of work for, probably, an unsatisfactory result.

I haven't seen the other photos that you originally intended to post (and were since deleted). Is one of the others maybe a better candidate instead of this one?

Agreed.

Yes. The second photo is a better candidate for removing the guy. Only one hand to remove in front of her. I though about combining the two (borrowing and reversing), but the lighting and quality are very different. The second photo was also out of focus.


@heyandrea - You should start a new thread with the second photo. It's a better candidate for a successful edit.

If anyone still wants to take on this challenge, here's a much higher quality version. Sorry for the confusion everyone!

I agree with rich and IamSam, but I can't resist this kind of challenge... to at least see what I can get... But I think the other one will have a lot better results...

The background is the first one I found I was already tired but I think something more similar on tone and contrast to the original would help with the blending.

Great job Argos, this is a complex one I see that the guy left his shoe behind though

Haha I don't know why my mind thought that was her foot the entire time......😅😅

Here's mine. Argos was faster than me, but this was a good challenge.
