pavlovmb Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I need the attached image for the main page of a website - the original image wasn't wide enough so I cut out a chunk, flipped it horizontally and spliced the two together - as you can see, there is a vertical line just around the 950px mark that I tried to blur out with some pixelation effect. I also tried blurring it and other effects, but no matter what I try I can't seem to make it almost invisible - it's still to visible when the image is at full size display. Any advice on what I should do? Edit: the full image was too big so I only uploaded the affected part.ThanksMartin Edited March 25, 2016 by pavlovmb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Host your image somewhere, like photobucket, and link it here and we'll take a look. BTW, if the seam area isn't too busy (like blue skys, etc.), try selecting the area and use Effects > Noise > Median.

pavlovmb Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks! Good suggestion, I'll try that tomorrow if the attached one doesn't suffice (it's 4 am here, need some rest). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlovmb Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Ok, so here is the image as it looks after I've spliced it together with no effects: http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u495/pavlovmb/dachshsund-main_zps6w5tbkwe.png And here it is after applying median effect: http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u495/pavlovmb/dachshsund-main-b_zpsn2sdggem.png Definitely an improvement, but of course I can't help notice the affected area.. but maybe that's just me. Any thoughts / ideas for improvement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlovmb Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 After applying seamless texture maker and smoothing about a bit manually with the paintbrush: http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u495/pavlovmb/dachshsund-main-c_zpssrllrtbp.png I think we're getting there. Maybe I only notice it now because I've been working on the image for a while. Opinions anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 That's clearly not two images spliced together, but one image that was poorly mirrored. Here it is properly mirrored at the right edge. Not that this looks any better though. 1 Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

pavlovmb Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Guess I should have said mirroring I know it's not very well done, I tried to avoid too much symmetry. If I was entering a photo contest or something, it would clearly not be good enough - but when adding it to my website now, I think it's not that easy to spot, you kind of have to know it's there to see it I'd say. But still interested in opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I tried to avoid too much symmetry. So here's my solution, realized by clone tool: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlovmb Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks, that looks good. Will try that on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlovmb Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Is that clone too an add-on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlovmb Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks everyone for your help! I learned a few new things here, and the website looks terrific now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Is that clone too an add-on? No. Its a tool in the toolbar looking like a rubber stamp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlovmb Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks, will play around with that - I'm still learning the basics here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlovmb Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Btw - the photo is a stock photo I bought, so you should probably delete it from any filehosts, just so you don't get into any trouble See you all later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
