Specifically, I was asked if I could remove the umpire from this photo.
It was a tricky business for this old man with shaky hands, but after some hiccups, I got it done. As you are about to see, I removed a lot of background distractions while I was at it. I also cropped to an 8x10 ratio which happened to eliminate the dirt at the bottom. I think that was a good thing.
Then, I did one more thing. I used a little bit of AI to add a little space on the right side in order to get the ball farther from the edge of the photo because I though the ball was an important element. Finally, I re-cropped back to an 8x10.
I sent off both versions. I am not sure which she will like, if either, but I did my best.
Good job, AC!
ReplyDeleteYou hit a home run! Excellent work! Kudos AC ... xoxo
ReplyDeleteExcellent job! I'm sure she'll be delighted with the results.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteWow! well done.
ReplyDeleteYour best is great, imo.
ReplyDeleteShe will be thrilled I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteYou done good, AC! He looks like a pretty good pitcher too.
ReplyDeleteGood job, AC!
ReplyDeleteYou did really well! Can you do that with our politics and Supreme Court? Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteA master wizard you are with photo-shop! I agree with the above comment...give us some help with governance, if you please!
ReplyDeleteShe knew who to ask for help.
ReplyDeleteGreat editing job. The final version is great!! Linda. imaagesisee.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThe new picture is prettier than the old. I wonder if the change in the relative position of the ball vis a vie the pitcher's throwing fingers and hand position would change the perception of the pitcher's ability or intent.
ReplyDeleteI only use A.I a few times.
ReplyDeleteThe crop is great for the shot. If you have AI face enhancer, that might bring up more details on the face
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteNice work! Editing out a person is very hard!
ReplyDeleteRemoving that distraction (umpire) really made this young pitcher stand out and with that ball caught in mid-flight! I was curious as to the process used, AC, and perhaps you could give a short explanation in future. I think the recipient will be well pleased with either image.
ReplyDelete@Beatric: I wouldn't know how or where to begin. I pretty well throw paint at the wall, so to speak.
