Good weather, -2 C and partial sun. No wind and still about 1 1/2 feet of snow in the bush Top crust on the snow due to recent warming and rain, helped in the walk. Pot luck brunch and a few beers, and laughs. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8602925 Organizer Moe Petch on the 3rd fairway. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8602942 The group. I need some advice on the group shot. I never noticed untill after the fact, I had a small water drop on the lens. You may be able to see the resulting "blur" on the face of Moe, he is the last person on the right of the photo. Any iseas how to minimize the effect, we male a print of the group shot for the wall every year. Dave =============== Aha, I remember this. The crazy folks that golf in the snow. <head shake> Well, maybe there's a better way to do it, but I would... (using Elements 5, but could be PS)... Use layers. Make a layer from selection (selecting the waterspot area first). Then just for that layer, bring up saturation and contrast, because the waterspot make that area go gray. Add as much sharpness as it will take too. Just doing that should recover some of the background covered by the spot. Then I'd probably go in and do, not a pixel by pixel, but small area cloning for the window and wood. His face probably has to stay somewhat fuzzy. Goggling -- some people say use the healing tool. Frankly, never used it, not sure how it works. Ignorant on that. But the above should work pretty well.
