Oh, oh. Now you've issued a challenge. I opened the RAW file and
made NO adjustments to the rest of the image, but removed that
bollard.

Yes, the paving stones create a problem because of the perspective,
because they're small and have to line up, and because the color is
not uniform. To replace that bollard, you have to grab another
section from somewhere else and put it behind a layer mask cut-out.
With a small area to choose from, that's tough to do.

But, not impossible at all.

That's why we practice.



OK!
This time I went at it a little more deliberately.

First *Content Aware Fill*
Then *Vanishing Point* (I had my Pantone HueyPro ten day display
calibration warning come up as I was setting my VP grid)
…and a final touch up with the clone tool.

Here is the video:

That's slick. I've never worked with that technique.

The results, though, seem the same with my technique and yours. Do
you see a difference?

As far as I can tell, it's the cat that skinned in more than one way.

What I couldn't figure out is what the vanishing point part of that
did. I suppose, if I did some work with that tool, I would be able to
work out what it does, but it wasn't apparent to me in the film.


With Vanishing point, once you have established a perspective
/plain/grid, any clone made along a perspective line will adjust to
match. The same goes for patching in stuff. For example copying a
window from the front od a building and adding it to the side. It would
have been the best tool to use for applying that graffiti to the wall
in my photo.

It has been around since CS3 and there have been quite a number of tutorials;

The first part of this Layers Magazine video shows a pretty good example.

....and there is this.

I'm not sure this group "gets" that we do do this purely as an
exercise. Sometimes we work on photos because we want to present that
photo in the best way possible, and sometimes we work on photos just
because it contains an element that requires post treatment and we
want to improve our skills in that method of treatment.



OK got it
