Tall order Ezra... there's not much that the Clone tool can sample. I'm still trying to sort out what happened to her front legs. In a pinch you could go for an artsy look and change it to B&W and add a film grain filter maybe...

I know it's sad but... Some photos can't be fixed. :frown:

Hi, Ezra. Dunno. Depends on how do you want it to look and what you want to fix? Email me with the details and a copy of photo if you like.

Thanks for the replies.

The front legs are there but may've been in motion at the time of capture. This was a night (obviously) game drive and when we came upon him. (Yes it's a him. Young male, Mane just starting to grow in. Have to look closely to see it.) He was dozing and I guess the sound of the vehicle woke him. Movement of his shoulders and forelimbs might've happened when he looked up.

The image was captured without flash and what I want to do is bring that bright streak (part of the shutter was out of whack) more into line with the rest of the light.
