Wonderful colors. Since you mentioned photoshop, does your edition have the lasso tool where you can surround what you want out, then in edit hit fill (being sure the content-aware is in the box) That's the easiest method I've ever found for getting rid of something obtrusive.
@milaniet Thank you Milanie! I had forgotten about that method. I tried it and it worked quite well. Now it will be a tool I will remember. Thanks for taking the time to teach me!
