I use #Lightroom Classic for #post-processing, often #Topaz to denoise or sharpen. Have #Photoshop but its complexity is intimidating. Is there any easy way I can remove the foreground branches from this photo without a huge learning curve? TIA. #birds #photography #NikonZ8 #birdphotography #naturephotography
@Cliftographer Sure. Easy to do in Photoshop (current version), with the Remove Tool
@alexf24 Thanks, I will have a look. A user on another site uses Photoshop’s Generative Fill tool and showed me great results using my photo.

@Cliftographer That works too. The remove tool is easier. There are other ways too (eg select object to remove)

As per PS, it may be intimidating but it shouldn't be for photography. Look at YT videos for the basics.

I use it with TK9, a great tool to automate/simplify most of the things you can do in PS for photography.

Ignore the ones for art and design. Concentrate in photography features.
