some more fiddling with Inpaint
1) Let’s say that there was a double date. Two guys and two girls.
And then let’s say that it didn’t really work out as planned, but there are possibilities that the cool people got together after the sucky people were gone. They took their footwear with them.
This is how things should have been all along, and there’s social distancing in place today because they want to take things comfortably mellow.
2) Ahh, Johansen and ‘Bingo’ were the best of buddies while they were stationed over in that sandy place, brothers from different mothers.
But give it a year and the bromance has faded, and ‘Bingo’ is out chasing skirts, including Johansen’s significant other. Not cool, bro.
Then was then but now is now, and while we never leave our buddies behind on the battlefield, sometimes we have to leave them behind in our lives.
Commentary: It’d be great if this had some touchup tools like softening/blurring to take off hard/jagged edges, but I suppose that’s in postproduction with PS or doing an erase on its own on the hard edge so that the software will rebuild a smooth edge (and hope that it comes out right!). Also, the above two are further exercises in the use of the ‘donor’ tool, where instead of the software using what’s around the erased portion to interpolate what should be there, you specify where you want to clone the eraser’s fill from. Both of these images had physical contact between the subject and the object to remove which were the same color range, so carving out what to erase AND specifying another area to fill that erased area with means that the software doesn’t create a mutating growth on that side of the subject’s body. :-P
