How do you choose to remove stuff from your pictures?

Intrigued by this one, as there seems to be a few ways to remove stuff using photoshop.

Was particularly intrigued by what your particular method is?

Print it out nice and big then attack the bits I don't want with scissors

Well, generally I don't get rid of stuff other than the odd zit in lightroom.

If there's anything big, it's Shift F5 generally but if that won't do it I'll do some workaround with masks and stamping.

It depends what I want to remove to be honest.

Spot healing brush usually.

Really depends what it is. I might opt for spot healing brush for little dust spots etc (or wrinkles if I'm doing that), patch tool or clone stamp for larger objects.

Content aware versions of all the above, especially with CS6. It's magical.

I just use the retouch controls in Aperture to spot or clone something out. If it was something more extreme, I'd probably move it into Photoshop. For most general photography though, I'd try to avoid doing anything too extreme.

Copy/paste with masking, clone stamp, heal and curves. And grain/noise if necessary. Generally manual am best.

Just discovered this.

I think I'm in love.

Obviously not fantastic for massive things, but still, it's incredible!
