Photo Editing Assistance

[Jeapesy]

Hi Guys,

Hope everyone is good and looking forward to the festive break.

I have a couple of photo editing questions. Below are a couple of images i took at the weekend but have made errors which spoil the photos in my opinion. However i don't know how to air brush or erase certain blemishes. If anyone can help or offer advice how to carry this out i would be much obliged.

In the pic below a branch encroaches half way up the left hand side of the image and i would love to erase this blemish from the photo



Then in the second picture below a metal wire ruins the pic on the right hand side and again i would love this to just disappear.



Any help or assistance would be much appreciated, i don't have the experience or ability to know how to do this.

How about this:



I chose the second image because it was easier, but the same principle applies for the first.

It's not perfect, but then I only spent 5 mins on it!

I'd be inclined to spend time on cloning out the towers as well if it was my image.

Don't know what camera you used, but the image is pretty soft.

The clone tool would be best. If you want to e.mail the full size .jpg to me I will do it for you.

Thanks for your assistance and i also agree with the Towers. What tool did you use? I used a Canon 450D but the light was poor and it was hand held which could be a reason for the softness.

Thanks Jim,

Just one last question is The Photoshop Clone Tool a separate program or part of Elements or the like?

Cheers

Here's the other image, Jeapsey:



I sharpened it a little as well.

Found a copy of Photoshop 6 last night so going to give some Cloning a go. Never used photoshop before but there a few tutorials on youtube so going to try getting to grips with it over the new year.

Thanks to everyone for their advice.
