Wordless Wednesday...Wipe It Out

 

Sometimes there will be a photo opportunity that would be cute except for something in the way that cannot be moved.

 

There are apps for that...Photoshop comes to mind. And Ribbet has a Cloning feature that Sharon Tara walked me through. She’s a pro at it but I still need a lot of practice with it.

The other day I downloaded an app TouchRetouch (iPhone and Android) that you can use that’s really easy.

It was free the day that I downloaded it but I think it’s $1.99 now.

I shared this photo recently after the July 4th holiday. Cute picture and I had only a few seconds to take it but there in the photo was our friend’s foot.

I was able to remove it with the app.

All you have to do is upload the picture> select Object Remover and run your finger over what you want removed. You can erase it if you make a mistake.

 

AND it really is easy if you want to remove power lines…

Just touch Line remover.

There’s a tutorial that’s easy to follow.

 

Have fun!!!

Kathy-Sounds like a terrific app and there is no doubt Sharon Tara is a pro. You however do a wonderful job on your photos as well.

That is worth the $1.99 just be seeing how it removed the telephone line in the background.

Hmm, I wonder if Trish Van Housen knows about this app, she is always posting the most wonderful sunset pictures with power lines in them.  I don't mind the power lines, but perhaps others would rather not see them, haha.

How very useful! I've bookmarked the post.

Now we have been instructed not to remove power lines in our advertising, but it is great to be able to tidy up photos in other ways. Thank you!

Love this, Kathy! I use Ribbet all of the time but, hadn't heard of the app.  That would be so much easier than having to upload it to the computer and use Ribbet there.

Thanks for sharing and Happy Wednesday!

Barbara Todaro you should have heard us on the phone when she was teaching me how to work the Cloning thing on Ribbet. 

Sally K. & David L. Hanson she can do wonders with Photoshop and Ribbet.

Hi Dorie Dillard I love Waterlogue!!! Try this one and see if you like it. 

Sharon Tara I just used it for the first time this week while I was waiting in a doctor's office. 

Gabe Sanders it would be nice if it could remove our foot when it's wedged in our mouth!

Hi Sheila Anderson I don't know if you use your smartphone for photos but try it. 

Amanda S. Davidson it is easier than other apps I've tried for this.

Hi Pat Starnes-Front Gate Realty I certainly can understand the reasoning for that. 

Debe Maxwell, CRS That's what I do. Did you know that Ribbet has a smartphone app?

Morning Kathy.

I rarely take any photos, that is my wife's thing.  I'll bet she would have fun with it.

Nice app.  I don't use apps much on my phone but I have Corel Painter Essentials 5 for my desktop which is more intuitive than Photoshop.  I use both to do color work on renderings and there are similar features to your app.  Thanks Kathy.
