During a recent visit to Atlantic City,<\/em> I stepped out upon the balcony of our hotel and was visited by a breathtaking sunset complete with stunning shafts of light piercing the clouds. It begged to be photographed. Sadly I was only on the second floor and my point of view was spoiled by lamp posts, electric lines and all manner of modern contraptions that utterly kill a terrific scene.\"before-inpainting\"<\/a>If I had the money to splurge on a room in one of the city’s taller hotels, I would have had a terrific shot, but I had to settle on what my budget would allow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So I decided to take a crack at my humble snapshot with my favorite new image editor, Affinity Photo<\/em><\/a>.
\n\"Sunset<\/a>Thanks to Affinity Photo’s Inpainting<\/em> tool it’s possible to simply paint away the unwanted items in a digital photograph. The brush deletes the element painted over and clones surrounding pixels to create a seamless image. I thought that the huge, unwanted elements would be more than the Inpainting Brush could chew, but it did a stellar job. It was necessary to do a few undo’s<\/em> and repaint a few areas with a different sized brush, but all in all, it only took about 15 minutes to turn a lemon into lemonade.<\/p>\n

Don’t believe me — check out Affinity’s video tutorials<\/a> which do a great job selling this subscription free, insanely inexpensive image editor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
