on those pics of our photoshoot I always wanted to get rid of the basketball goal and stop sign that ruined the shots and clean up the mail boxes and the bugs on the front bumper and road spray on the rear??

maybe even put a cool address on the mailbox too lol. Lamborghini Lane, Diablo Way, Sant'Agata Blvd something original

Yeah I was planning on the stop sign and basketball hoop.
What do you mean about cleaning up the mailboxes, just getting rid of the address in this picture? http://www.midwestscc.com/viewphoto.php?id=3214

that's really cool! I want to learn to do that.

I've been using photoshop elements, but now have photoshop 7.0. The tutorials that come with them aren't real clear to me.

I can't get to the download page on the GIMP site...

Keeps saying that it is a "broken" link.

Try this direct link:
http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname...

Mark the most basic advice I can give is to use the clone tool with varying opacity.... that will let you "erase" objects from the image and create a realistic background to replace them with. Use it at 100% to directly copy part of the image, then lower to about 50% to blur it so that it doesn't appear exactly the same

Those pics are great. More proof however to not even believe what you "see" these days!

I like the effort you guys put into your photography, it really shows.

Thanks Bill

Palmer I believe there is something you can download which changes GIMP's layout to look like Photoshop. I don't remember what it's called but just search google and you'll find it. might make it easier to get used to...

? There was no HDR. NO color / lighting / contrast editing period. The originals I posted are exactly as they came out of my camera (except scaled down)
