Kind Of OT, Can It Be Done?

I want to blow this picture up and frame it for my Dad for X-mas, but mom and I want to know if there is a way to delete the people, train, and safety tape?? Would LOVE it if there was just the two of us plowing on a grassy field with the trees in the background!!

Anyone know how? Bryce

I don't know how but I know it can be done, I've seen pictures people take people out of. Find a photographer they should know how to.
 
How many KB or MB is the original file? It's hard to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. The train could be deleted easy enough but then you would have white space that would have to be filled in. So yeah, it could be done, maybe, if you have enough to work with.
 
My sister in-law took this and he always wants to play when she comes so she had to kinda hold him down can you see her arm and hand?

or a nice blow up, you need more than the 720 X 480 of this picture posted here. Your original is likely more. It is just a Paint Shop series of operations & a little/much time, depending on operator expertise & desired end result.
 
My wife does that for a living, if you have any free calendars like from Napa or New Holland or the like, the plant she works in does about 40% of them in the country. You will note there isn't any decals or advertising or power lines in the background of those calendars.

You want the biggest file you have of the picture, don't downgrade it any at all, the biggest file you got from the camera.

Photoshop and someone real familiar with it is what will be used to do it. They erase the stuff you don't want, and use the cloning tool and other tricks to rebuild what should be there.

The better, big raw file you can supply the better! That is my wife's number one gripe, they get supplied low quality files and not much you can do they look blocky to start, and as you work on them and clone, it gets worse.

The 2 people would be easy to remove and clone back in the background. Since the train blocks the entire trunk line of the scene, that will be harder to do, as something will just have to be created that maybe is right. Have to make something out of nothing, that sometimes is pretty difficult.

If you can live with the train, the people removal is an easy task for someone familiar with the deal.

Pretty much any photo editing program can do it. You just "clone" one part of the picture over the part you want to replace

Bryce,

YES! It can be done. Did this in my photo editing by pasting a layer of trees over the train and people AND you and your dad. Then "erased" part of that layer to bring out you and your dad.

If you know someone who is good with photo editing - one can do an even better job with a full-strength pixel photo.

Here is my effort. I made a cut through the train with Photo Shop Then magic captured the top half, cut it pasted it back lower to eliminate the train, and repaired the interface. Shorter at the top, but the same horizon in the original.

Your image here has a resolution of 720 x 480, or 0.34 megapixels. I'm pretty sure YT resizes the image when you upload it; your original photo probably had a much higher resolution. The reason I mention this is although your original will blow up nicely, you're not going to be able to enlarge these doctored photos anywhere near what you can do with the original.

Your choices are to send someone here the original file and have them redo it, or do it yourself. If you want to try your hand at retouching images, you don't need to buy a copy of Photoshop; you can download the GIMP for free.

Looks like you got some good help from others.

Wife said she wouldn't mind working on a good hires pic if you want to email one.
