br7332 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I am trying to remove two people from the background of this old B&W photo of my Grandpa and Great Uncle. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get them out and keep the photo looking realistic? I don't mind changing the background, I just can't figure out and easy way to get this done, aside from zooming in really close, cutting them out, and pasting them on another background. I just don't know how realistic this will look. Here is the photo..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hi br7332, welcome to the forum. It's going to take time. The more time you spend the better it will look. First read this tutorial: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/13796- That should get the bulk of the two other guys removed. Cleanup Tools: I'd look at either the magic wand to remove and continuous areas that are superfluous or the Eraser . For cleaning up the edges I'd use Feather Plugin and/or AA's assistant from dpy's plugin pack. Finally, Clone Stamp tool to replace the background.
