This conversation opens up the now classic conundrum of the "honesty" of
a PS-ed photo. While I don't want to go there, I would like to protest
that the original is Just Fine as is. It captures wonderfully something
real. An elegant woman stooping to kiss a guy in flipflops is something
that "updates" traditional representations of romance. One only needs
to check out kids at a senior prom to see that. You guys seem to want
to make the photo look like it was taken in 1947. Why? ;^)
On CA fill -- I want to experiment with "over-selecting" the element I
want removed to see if it does a more complete job. Not that I ever
remove things like backpacks and stuff. :)
I removed whole human beings from the background of this one with CA
fill:

Which is why I'm not eager to open up a debate about Photoshop ...
