Also, a moment of decision. This image originally had a wire fence in front of the barrels. I spent quite a bit of time carefully removing them, in my normal editing program, with the trusty clone brush. Then, as an experiment, I tried the inbuilt, AI generated, removal tool associated with the Microsoft editing program on my computer. It did the same job in approx 2 seconds - with a much cleaner, crisper result! I had used it before with mixed results - especially not good at removing larger sections. However, for small scale, detailed removal I'm now a convert! Cheers Rob
Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel, we've got the blues on the run
Time to drink some good wine.
Great find and capture and lovely edit.
I didn't know that Microsoft had a photo editing program . Isn't it amazing what AI can do that use to take a lot time and patience? My youngest granddaughter sent me a photo of her holding her baby cousin on a swing. Behind them were some empty blue plastic barrels. I drew around the barrels using the lasso tool and clicked on Generative Fill and it amazingly removed the barrels in seconds which would have taken a lot of time with the clone stamp tool.
Hi Skip, Kerry, Brian, Haskar, Diana, Debbie, George, Carole, Susan, - I'm guessing it's a Microsoft program - I use windows and it just seems inbuilt into whatever it uses when you open a photo. :)
There's an edit button and it leads you into quite a lot of options - with this being one of them. Others let you remove a background or replace it or blur it or add text - they didn't seem too bad but not something I often use.
The options to change exposure, contrast, sharpness, saturation and warmth etc seem pretty ok - they are in the icon which looks like a little sun.
Might be worth a look if you've got time and use windows. It works quite well as a first edit to keep and then do a fine tune on your normal program if you want to use the image for something.

@pusspup Hi Wylie - I didn't try to get rid of the mesh - too much trouble. But there were supporting wires and posts - they disappeared easily.. made a huge difference in a few secs! :)
@robz - Some of the terms you used sounded a lot like Photoshop, like clone brush, except that Adobe calls their a Clone Tool and the AI stuff. I never heard of it but I see Microsoft calls their app, Clipchamp.
@bluemoon Hi Paula - I had to laugh at your comment - I also had no idea that my computer had sneakily installed all of this stuff and neatly had it ready to go! And that it was so easy to do. I just opened the photo on my computer and played with the little icons it gave me!! It even tells you what each icon does if you hover over it with your mouse. I outlined what I ended up doing in one of the earlier replies above, just in case you're interested in playing. Your images are always so wonderful that it will probably be pretty useless to you though!! Cheers Rob
