Hi Guys
Went to Turimetta this evening & took some decent shots. Unfortunately, my best image of the night is ruined by another photographer who came in & you can see his ghost at the bottom right.

I do not have photoshop but do have photoscape & picasa. Can this be removed by these s/w's? If so, how.

Thanks & Appreciated!

Use a clone tool, do it in low opacity, and brush over the area slowly and methodically, undo any brush strokes that don't do what you want.

lol, I would leave it it in there - a sunrise at Turimetta without another photographer in the frame would actually be a strange sight :)

You could also consider cropping it out, i think that may actually improve teh image moreso - crop from teh right and top to a pano format.

If you do want to clone it out, I suspect Rick has nailed it, will probably take a few goes to get it looking right.
