In this lesson I tackled a challenge image that was submitted by a Masters Academy member. It's a photo of a sandhill crane where some background elements needed to be removed, but they create a reflection that overlaps the crane which complicates the retouching job needed. I retouch this image using two methods: 1) the easy way which utilizes generative AI. 2) The manual method which requires real Photoshop skills. Method #2 is required if you want to submit your image to a comptiion that does not allow the use of generative AI.
