Alright I found another way of getting rid of the bag in the widow. Aperture has a clone feature and I just used the shadow next to the bag and cloned that over the bag and voila no more bag. The burn feature won't go dark enough but the clone works well. Gosh I wish I could do that in real life - just clone away what one does not like. It's good to learn a new trick. Still working. Great tips Eric and gives me some "home work" to do.

His eyes are looking up slighting in the original so tilting him to look more horizontal (not down!) can be a bit more sexy. You need to mask his outline and cut him out. Not straight forward to get a realistic result. will have a quick go (no work today!!!!!) and post again. OK here are a couple of examples how, once you have cut out the subject, you can change the effect....eg changing perspective and desaturating/defocusing/darkening the background.

How about I just send my photos to you on my SD card and you "handle" them, then return to me. Don't slap your copy write on them.  I have shown my wife what you accomplished and she was not complementary on my efforts. Said something about me getting a new hobby. The nerve.  Now back to work for me.

Well you need to go a long way to get a better tutor or photo editor than Eric. What he can do in a few minutes takes other much longer so dont be disheartened.

His eyes are looking up slighting in the original so tilting him to look more horizontal (not down!) can be a bit more sexy. I have done some preliminary research on photoshop. Very expensive! However, it can be used as an external editor to Aperture and seems most Aperture users in fact do this. Did I mention it is very expensive? My wife does not wear hats and I am sure your wife would hate to part with such a fashion statement.

Sounds as though you have Yorkshire ancestry.  I DID say get the wife to buy it for you. Lightroom may be a good move.:thumbsup: Most of these packages will do what you want. You just have to define precisely what you are trying to achieve and seek out which tool/technique will do it for you. When I think of the hours/days/weeks/months/years I spent in the darkroom 'pickling my parts'.... then a good software package in a light/bright room wins every time.

Alright Eric, after playing around, I mean spending quality time, trying to perfect this photograph, I have come on the solution. It is so obvious I don't know why I didn't think of it in the first place. Not nearly as expensive as the photoshop program. Instead of having the shopping bag be a distraction, make the shopping bag the focus of the photo. Crop out the gentleman and leave the bag. Now if I have shot at f11 instead of f3.5 the damn bag may be sharper. Don't tell me, photoshop can correct that? I won't say what my wife thinks of this idea but it can't hurt if I should come groveling for money to buy photoshop. What do you think?
