Help with a photo please

Does anyone think it is possible to remove the car seat belts from this photo? I have tried and tried but they just seem to big.:(

This is the end result i'd just love it if those straps were gone

Pixie - that's an awful large area to remove. Myself - I wouldn't want to try it, but I'm sure there are those that are more talented.

Yeah I know I should just find another photo
my mum just said "wrap him in gold" maybe i could cover it some way?

Pixie, it could likely be done, but the bigger issue is that many important features of his face, hands and legs are blown out.

It would be so much easier to redo, and next time watch to not over expose so much on the next photo.

It's a fun photo. That is a very large area for your average weekend PS'er. Like Deb mentioned, I'm sure it could be done. Anything is possible in PS, but you have to have the right person and a considerable amount of time I'm sure.

Like Jerry said parts of it is blown out, but has a nice high key affect to it, that makes his eyes and smile really stand out. I think it's is a wonderful shot.

I tried to mess with the stamp tool in Photoshop. It is possible to change it, however, you would have to do down close to the pixel level to get a good affect. I did like 10% of what I WOULD do on the picture below. I think this will give you an idea of what "could" be done.

Thanks I did the over expose in a photo program; I thought it looked better against the white for the poster. But yes as a photo it’s not the best.
I couldn’t find the original or I would post that as well.

I do have lots of photo’s with him with his legs in odd places (the benefit of low tone), that I could use. I just adore this one so much.

Bwpics. Thanks so much, I didn’t’ get as far as you did and I played around for hours. I don’t have PS, just an old one you cant do a lot in.
I might have to get PS and have a go.

Thanks heaps at least now I can see what to aim for.

I might just use the photo you did, thanks so much for doing that for me.

Hi Pixie,

I do agree with some of the other comments, but I did just a quick edit of the pic with the comments on it just in case you needed it in a hurry. Bit rough... If need be, I hope you can use it.
