Sorry, no AI. If I wanted that I'd use Luminar AI on the PC which is cheaper than Adobe and very good. That thing can replace the entire sky including the lighting and shadows, turning a cloudless noon sky into a dramatic sunset. To me, that's not "improving" anymore, that's cheating (or "painting" if you want to be charitable).
you can use a stamp taken from a different part of the photo
That we can do: Double exposure, load the original photo as the overlay, size/rotate/move the overlay, set transparency to 0 (shows ONLY the overlay anymore). Then go to the undo history, select the double exposure you just did and begin to "brush on" only the area where the overlay covers the undesired feature. Zooming in makes the brush smaller in relation to the surroundings, so you can be quite precise.
You can double expose anything, any photo, and even do multiple exposures. The power is hidden in the UNDO chain, that's a bit counterintuitive, but you get used to it.
Here is my quick and dirty removal of the red container. Investing a few more minutes, you could do it a lot cleaner and better matched. You could also use the UNDO-brush system to selectively change the color of the overlaid car etc.:
Oh shit man! That's super cool. I think that its you who should be the one to do a post on the subject.
Also the way you are explaining things is going way over my head. I think that you think I am way more technical than I actually am hahaha 😆 🙃
I agree with this part of what you said as well. In my post I tried to convey that I like to provide a good representation of a place and not over do it on the editing. Online you often see photos that ramp up the color or whatever, so much that you think the town is painted like a rainbow or something, but then you get there and it's like:
meh...😒 I didn't need to see this.
Here, I changed the color of the car and had a cat I painted a while ago photobomb the scene. It is not complicated at all, you just need to download the app and play with it. It also comes with a ton of instructions and tips built right in. Again, the real power is in the undo history, icon top right, view changes. (Mine is labeled in German, so I can't tell you exactly what yours says).
Hahaha😆 nice!
Yeah I downloaded the app now and am working through it. I love the healing function. Once I figure the ins and outs of that it will be a game changer lol. The tutorial videos are helpful and the brush for individual edits is super cool as well. There's so much that it's a bit overwhelming but I know that is just because it's new. Once I mess with it a little it will be fine.
