No Distraction for You Aug 20th

I’ve been doing more and more photography at work lately, and I’m really enjoying it. But, I’m finding that I’m forgetting to check some essential things while on location — most notably, distractions in the background.

We’re just about to kick off a campaign called "Each One Matters" and I got the job of taking the photos that feature in the campaign. But, it wasn’t until we got back to the office that we noticed a number of things about the shot that we didn’t like.

Fortunately Adobe Photoshop CS5 has some great tools built-in to help remove objects from photos and I spent the afternoon cleaning up the shot.

If you haven’t had a chance to check out the content-aware tools in CS5 yet, make sure you read this tutorial
