Photo was Taken by the wifes cousin a so called professinal Photographer saying that taking wedding photos is different from photos taken for newpapers Must be as we havent got one  good photo taken by this guy I`m in the process of scanning them to the computer ready to have them reprinted in glossy finish.
Thanks

Hi Geoff

I know this message was for deadants but I hope you dont mind me having the first go at it, I am sure deadants will put the building or something back into the background. I just took the easy option 

This is dead easy, the tool to use is the Clone tool (PSP9) and 15 minutes.

I am working on a picture I took a couple of months ago of a row of terrace houses due for demolition and I am now trying to turn the clock back on it to 1900 when my Gt granfather lived in them, thats taking a car out from the front on the picture, rebuilding everything behind it, removing fence panels, alarms, modern street lights, aerials. So far it has taken about 15 hours work of stop/start undo/redo, but i am learning all the time. Practice makes perfect in the end

(Take2)
OOopppssss had to re-upload picture, left large grey area around girls head, and cleaned blemish on lads arm

Regards
Ken

Hi Ken Thanks for that Not so much bothered about the building its only a pub called the Earl Grey top of the hill. Did a good job of removing the bus the wifes dead chuffed with it.
yup twas me and the wife many moons ago. Trying to salvage some of the photos so I can put them in an album for her as we didnt get one as we were disgusted with the effort of the so called professinal made.
Thanks Again
Geoff

You both look lovely, and really happy

Ken has shown that removing backgrounds is a fairly easy Job. You can take it one step further and relocate the subjects altogether.

  Gobsmacked Deadants there brilliant Thank you very very very much.
Do you do this for a living if not you should go far doing  it.
Had a play myself with another picture managed to remove the wifes aunt who insisted she had to be in the only shot of the bridesmaids we had. its addictive too.
Thanks again Mate
Regards

If you have a graphics programe that can do masking than it's a fairly simple procedure. You apply a mask over the areas you  want to keep than can select the unmasked area and delete it. The car door was a little tricky but nothing exceptional. You just have to get the hang of the clone stamp tool.

The  photo does have two things going for it, it's in focus and the subjects are in perfect pose.

Hi Deadants I aquired PSP9  so I`ll have a play with the tutorials you posted on another message.did ask my son to show me using adobe prog I had but at uni he isnt doing that type of thing its more designing stuff.

Hi shipwright,
 If you have photoshop there is a ocean full of tutorials on the net and librarys full of books on the program.  The same goes for PSP9.

By the way, what model is thatr bridal car? The quarter windows and chrome wing mirror put it in the sixties by the look of it.
