  1. I got easy way if you have access to the area. And the object can be moved.
    Lets say you record a very good video and then "oh i forgot to remove the lamp" but you don’t want to do it all over again.
    You just don’t move the camera and remove that lamp then take a picture, cut that area you want to replace the lamp and then place it over.
    100% easy and clean image.

    However, thanks for a good tutorial. I saved a lot of money for Photoshop.

  2. I've watched several tutorials and still got no answer. If you drag your clone brush too far, you get your OLD image copied, but instead, I'd like it to copy just the freshly drawn image, the image that you see already, so you can draw a straight line into infinity. It's shown at 6:18 – you needed to stop, because it would copy the lamp image. I've played with settings, searched for videos and still to no avail.

  3. Thank's for the vid. It's easy to remove the object when you have an uniform background ( such as brick wall). Any suggestion on how to do the same with complex background such as people behind the object, unique monuments, furniture, part of the building etc. Would appreciate the suggestion and tutorial on that.

  4. First let me say thank you for the videos.
    I appreciate that you are not getting paid for making these tutorials, however it would be nice if you could be a little more technical in explaining why you are doing certain things.
    Instead of "you play around with these settings until you get what you want" it would really help a lot if you could explain for instance (and I am making this up because I do not know) – "I see that the colour balance in the shadows, on the left of the picture, looks a little too red so I am going to move it towards the cyan and add some more blue".
    That way we could understand what we need to do and are trying to achieve, rather than just a trial and error approach.
    Thanks again for the video.
