I opened up this video as I struggle with PS. When the images of the GBH in the nest came up, I immediately recognized the location. Looked at a couple images I took last week, and yes, that is nest in the small cypress I am quite familiar with. What a great place to shoot wildlife. Thanks for the tips, I find that Lightroom does a good job with most of the simple removal, but I sometimes have to resort to PS to get the job done. Having a clear step by step tutorial really helps.
Isn’t it just one of the best places for consistent bird nests in the spring! Glad the tutorial helped. That’s exactly what I use Photoshop for….anything that Lightroom can’t get done. ☺️
@@KateSilviaPhotography At this location, I shot a potentially great (for me) shot of a flock of geese with a large moon behind them. I heard the geese coming over the rice fields and prefocused on the moon. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the camera to refocus on the geese in time, and they were all very blurry. I managed to use a shot of the moon by itself after the geese had passed, with a shot of them when I panned after they went by. I used PS to combine the two and get a dramatic image that I had in mind when I set things up on the fly. That is something I couldn't do in LR, and would have been difficult to get both the moon and geese sharp in camera. Still, for normal, quick and easy editing, LR can't be beat.
I think I was there that day. Didn’t you show that image to me and someone else about a week ago? In the back of your camera? That was an insane opportunity! Glad you were able to combine the two and get the image you envisioned. ☺️
@@KateSilviaPhotographyIt was last Friday, Mar 29th. I remember talking with two ladies right afterwards, and showing one of the images to them. One of them asked me how I liked the gimbal head I had mounted on my tripod. Of course, this time of year there are a lot of photographers out and about at the swamp. I love taking pictures of the birds, but I'm really looking forward to getting some macro shots once the insect activity increases. I'm hoping the wildflower field at Cypress Gardens is as good this year as last for that. I got some really nice shots there last fall with my new 105 micro.
I will often remove obtrusive objects that are blocking the view of my subject. Most times it's possible to re-compose, but when you can't, you can't. Nicely done tutorial. 💜😎💜 (I try to avoid using the PITA method too!)
New nature photographer here. Great to know this info! Thanks! I just downloaded light room. What is the difference between light room and photo shop? Glad I came across your channel.
Thank you so much and welcome! Lightroom is an amazing program for importing, keywording, organizing, and tons of Raw processing. Most of your image editing can be done in Lightroom. Photoshop is meant to work directly with Lightroom. Photoshop can also be used for all your basic image editing and raw processing (done in Camera Raw). But it is also where you take your images to the next level. It’s where you would manually combine elements from different images, like blending properly exposed skies with properly exposed foregrounds, do advanced luminosity masking, have access to AI for helping you with your editing work, and so much more. Don’t try to learn them both at the same time. It’s too much. Lightroom Classic is different than Lightroom. I have a video on the differences between those two programs to help people decide which one is right for them. Most beginners will be happier with regular Lightroom instead of Lightroom Classic because Classic is a catalog system and you can easily get your files completely screwed up if you’re not very organized from the very beginning. It’s a lot. Don’t give up when it gets frustrating…which it will, and just enjoy nature photography!
Only if it wasn’t done well. The AI methods leave it more to chance. Sometimes it’s amazing…sometimes it’s not so great. The Cloning method is more controlled but more difficult. Before making a print, zoom in to 200% to an area that you think is questionable and make your decision from there. If you have to remove a really large area with the AI fill, it will look pixelated compared to the rest of the image if the dimensions are large (4000pixels or more)…and that would show up in print. Hope this helps and thanks for watching. 😊
The generative fill replaces pixels at 1024 image size…which is small. If you do it in a small area, it’s not really noticeable. If you extend the canvas by 25% on a high quality image that’s say….6000 pixels wide, then yes, it makes a big difference and you can tell it was manipulated. And adding noise and sharpening as unaxe suggested can help too. ☺️
According to FIAP International rules, adjustments such as cropping are permitted for nature or wildlife images. However, any other alteration or manipulation that involves removing, adding, or relocating parts of the image is strictly prohibited.
@@KateSilviaPhotographyGiven the abundance of AI-generated fake images circulating today, it is crucial that viewers are able to differentiate between genuine and manipulated content. As a nature photographer, one would assume that verifying the authenticity of your work holds significant importance.
I totally agree that being authentic is important. Did I, at any time, instruct people to fake it in contests or submissions or stock agencies? Did I tell them to fake it all and try to pass it off as “straight out of camera” and tell people to lie? No. I’m teaching people how to use a tool in Photoshop to make their images a little bit nicer for THEM…for their own personal enjoyment. How is that unethical? Do you comment like this on ALL people who teach Photoshop? If not, quit bugging me and relax.
@@KateSilviaPhotography It seems that you are employing your offensive maneuvers as a form of defense, even if you are not explicitly recognizing it. I regret my attempt to provide aid by recommending that you address this to your audience. Farewell.
Some people have to signal their virtuous superiority everywhere they go. You are better off ignoring people like this. Engaging with them just makes them feel righteous. Keep on teaching those that want to learn and don’t let commenters like this bother you.
Great information . So easily explained. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!☺️

@@clovishound5756 That was us. 😊. Yes, Cypress is a great place for macro work. Have fun!

That’s why it’s the Pita method…nobody looks forward to doing it. 🤣 The remove tool is fantastic. Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you, really helpful and well explained.
You're very welcome!

Amazing so wonderful
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching. ☺️
What is the title? Best Way to Remove Objects
or how to adhere to.....
Obviously this video delivers what it promises, and does it very well.
Thanks @katk. ☺️
If you make a print, does it show where it was worked on?
Only if it wasn’t done well. The AI methods leave it more to chance. Sometimes it’s amazing…sometimes it’s not so great. The Cloning method is more controlled but more difficult.

Job Well Done
Cut out the Noise
Thank you!😊
Doesn’t the remove tool give you a decreased quality than the rest of the image?
add some noise and sharpen and its usually fine for smaller areas.

So what. Did I say I was entering this in a contest? I don’t understand why you would even bring that up.
