Photoshop request please - Can someone remove some bits for me again?

Feek · 22 Jul 2020 at 13:38

Hi folks,

I posted a similar thread last year but there have been some changes to my aerial so I'd like the picture tidied up again please.

Here's a smaller resolution version.

I'd like the house and the vertical aerial removing please. I've had a go but I'm having problems getting the sky blended in so it looks clean. I've marked the bits that need removing. Part of the vertical goes in front of the main hexbeam so it would be good if when it's removed, the hexbeam sections are tweaked so you can't tell that something has been removed from in front of it.

Full size .png is here

I do appreciate that there's not a lot of scope for comedy on this one but I'll be amused to see what can be done before we get a final version. In fact, I'll be a little disappointed if someone doesn't make me chuckle

@Acme and @Meddling-Monk did a superb job last time so I'm looking forward to see how this goes.

Thanks.

V3 Tweaked

Thank you @Van_Dammesque but it's not quite right on either 2 or 3 - the shading is more visible on 3 and it also dims down the separator section (the bumps in the wire). I doubt anyone would notice it but I do! I can see the blending between the spreaders quite clearly.

WTF, why would someone do it right so early. Son I am disappoint

There's still plenty of scope for comedy yet, we're not done yet

So er... Proper or not yet?

Needs more comedy before you post your proper version

Did you want that bird/plane removed also from the lower right?

I wondered if someone would spot that - It can go please. I left the plane there previously because it was appropriate but the bird can fly away, thanks.

Why have you put your clothes line up so high?

The higher it is, the windier it is and everything dries really quickly.

Some great stuff in here

Think I did something wrong...

That's amazing!

Short on time, so will drop my completed submission attempt in my google drive folder to which I'll link here in spoilers so it's not so deviating from GD and thread request.

Perfect, thank you.

Getting some severe dejavu. Just refer back to the old thread, cos your aerial looks the same.

Subtle differences.

That really is the thread winner

Youre always in everyones thoughts.

It's because we're so alike. We're practically twins.

Poor Maccy.

Sometimes (not very often), I’d like a ‘like’ button. This is one of those times!

Feek - this is the same arial as last year, and the year before, and the year before that, and the year before that that?

It's different to the one from last year because it's been repaired, it's got extra struts and an extra tilt mechanism and it's a different aerial to the previous one. It looks similar but this has the extension kit on top.
I think this is the third request I've made to tidy up an aerial picture.

The former make it stronger and less likely to break again and the latter allows me to lower it to the ground and work on it without needing scaffolding.
