How I wiggled my nose and got rid of these guys.
Kathy Nielsen, one of my favorite Stagers in Marietta GA (Georgia Interior Solutions) shows us how to "clone" those unwanted guests in our photos using Picnik. You have to have the paid account but it's so easy to use!
Head over to Kathy's blog to say hello!
Okay... it took more than a wiggle of my nose. But, it didn't take a great deal of work as I had used the "cloning" feature in Picnik. Now if I can do it, you can too. Directions below, so keep reading (smile).
For the record, I have nothing against either two of these guys. In fact, I like them a lot. However, they were ruining my before picture of a home in Atlanta that I was asked to create a decorator schedule for and eventually home staged.
Here they are, ruining my picture. What the heck?
Gone
Here's how I did it:
First - begin by signing into your Picnik account. NOTE: The "cloning" feature is part of their premium service which is a mere $24.95 a year.
Step 1 - Once signed in, click on the Edit tab.
Step 2 - Next, click on Advanced (as pictured below).
Step 3 - On the left hand side, click on Clone.
HowWhen you click on clone, the following box will appear directly under the clone.
Step 4 - Once you've selected the brush size, brush hardness (which I typically leave at 0%) and fade (which I leave at 0% as well), step 5 will be to place your cursor inside the area of the picture that you want to clone. In my example above, I first worked on the guy directly in front of the fireplace. Therefore, I placed my cursor on the fireplace bricks and clicked my mouse pad. This captures the area you want to duplicate or "clone."
Step 6 - Once you click, a new circle will appear. Run that circle over the area you want gone or erased.
Step 7 - Once you've cloned an area, press Apply. Continue this process until you've cloned all the areas of the photo.
Here's how the room turned out after the renovations.
