Nice crop, not at all what I had in mind when taking this shot but it definitely works!
Does GIMP have a specific tool to do that? Not like retouch, but something that could take the lines out of the trees automatically?
No, removing stuff is almost always a multi step process if you want to do a good job. Even removing a relatively simple power line or vapor trail in a clear sky might need a bit of extra work for example (the gradient might be slightly off in the fixed part).
The brunt of the removal in the first shot was done using GIMPâs resynthesizer tool, which is a rather powerful tool, but it doesnât do a perfect job. I had to go in with the Clone tool and the Healing tool to tidy up the trees and fix the sky gradient in some places.
The second shot was done with a combination of Kritaâs Smart patch (âhealingâ) and Clone tool (in that order).
Depending on the situation you might also need to slightly blur/sharpen some of the parts that are âfixedâ by the crop/heal/resynthesizer/patch tool(s) or even paint-in the missing parts yourself (some basic retouching).
You do nice work!
No, just a mouse and a good german beer
Nice and soft edit. I like it!
Another great walk! Really like all the different interpretations on this one.

A chance to try the retouch module out. I am quite unfamiliar with it.
Yeah, the amount of different interpretations of both my contributions is rather impressive. Some very nice ones indeed and that even though many donât come close to what it is I saw that morning⌠I love to see all these visions.
This is a really nice place to walk and enjoy the surroundings and watch nature do its thing. This particular area isnât all that big, about a square kilometre (maybe 2) but it is situated just right.
There are plans to start building here though Protests and petition are ongoing, but I probably know how this will end up in the longer rub. My town doesnât have anywhere to go, weâre completely surrounded by Delft, Den Haag, Voorburg and a few other towns.
BTW: This was a few days later. Roughly the same spot as my 30 min later shot above, 10 steps or so back and 30 degrees to the right:
I kept my changes minimal in order to preserve the early morning mood. dt 3.4.1

Very nice ! I like the contrast of the hoarfrost and the warm morning light.

Does it have a name? Trying to locate it on Google Map.
This path doesnât have a name, but I do have some coordinates for you (I donât do Google): lat=52.03350 lon=4.34201
The shot was taken looking to the east and you can just see the wide ditch curve to the left at the very end.
The first image was shot from here: lat=52.03592 lon=4.34502
Also looking to the east.
Iâve been studying your use of unbreak input profile with multiply. People are using multiply or other blend modes with many modules now, and I have no idea how to describe the effects so as to distinguish between using one or another. Only trial and error until one became proficient in choosing, I guess. The effect of unbreak w/o multiply is so drastic, how then did you imagine it would produce the effect it did with multiply?
I went at this with my keen, artistic vision , which means I fooled around with this, that, and the other until I got this:

Removing that single âstickâ in the lower-right corner was a problem. The grass kept getting dark black areas in it.
I also removed a spot that might have been something in the water, or possibly a spot on the lens?
The artist is Jacques. Great pictures!
That one is on the sensor. There are actually 2 spots, one of those isnât all that visible in this shot.
I really love this compact camera, rather powerful for its size, but it has a fixed zoom lens. Cameraâs that have this setup make it basically a dust pump, especially when you turn it on/off and the lens fully extends/retracts. Itâs almost 2 years old now, I use it rain or shine and it is holding up rather well.
I do need to have it cleaned one of these days though. Canât do that myself, like I do with my ârealâ camera. It is all but impossible to get to the sensor to clean it yourself.
Those are truly remarkable photos for a compact camera.
Canât remember whether I mentioned it, have you tried a vacuum cleaner attached to a rolled up magazine around the barrel of the lens. Had to repeat a few times but worked for me. Perhaps this dirt is more stubbornâŚ
