Looks like a new feature to be released in CS5 maybe.

Geesh Paul, right when I was about to upgrade to PS4. Maybe I should wait now... :razz:

Thanks for the link Paul. Interesting. Of course I've done my share of cloning, but mostly very small pieces of an image, dust, maybe a contrail, bright leaf, etc. Not sure why this guy would want to clone out the bison in a nature photograph? I guess he was just demonstrating.... Looks quite powerful though.

@ Derek, I was at the same spot still on CS2. But, as with most things for me, lack of $$$ keeps me driving vehicles for 10 years or more too.

@ Lon, I could not agree more about the dust and debris removal, but complete power plants? I think what pushed the "Oh No" major manipulation button IMO, was the tree and sky clone job with one fill-swoop. An invaluable tool that could be overdone very easily I would think.

Wow, that is cool!!!! Given the amount of dust and hair I get on the B&W negatives I process myself, that will be incredibly useful. I did not upgrade to CS4 from 3, but maybe I will jump to CS5.

Thanks for the heads up, Paul.

I probably wouldn't use this too much in my landscape editing, but for architectural stuff... this could speed up the editing immensely. Thanks for the heads up!

Oh goodie! Now I can get all the people at tunnel view out of my image at once! Too bad this isn't a feature in real life....

It would be cool to highlight the whole sky and have all the dust eliminated at once.
