Is There Anyway For Me to Fix This?

    Hey Folks,

    Was in the pub the other week with some friends and got one or two decent images. I particuarly like the photo below I got of a mate but because it was dark I had to use a low aperture and the fupper moved while I was taking the shot. I've tried cloning, cutting & pasting and editing from another similar photo but they haven't worked out too well.

    Is it a lost cause or should I slog away at it?

    NB - I'm not looking for anyone to edit it for me, just advice. Is it worth trying to fix it or not.

    I'd agree its not the subject moving it is something close to the lens.

    Damn. It was most likely another bloke we were in the pub with. Well at least I can hassle him and say he ruined it. :)

    So is it editable?

    nice pic.

    If you are talking about the repeating pattern of his shirt in the bottom right of the image it looks easy enough to fix.

    the only problem area is the white splodge near the right of his chin. It it was me I would use the burn tool to darken that.

    the patterns to the bottom right:

    you could just remove everything and get an image of a seat and put loads of gausian blur on it and try to blend it with the background

    just select the area feather around 100 px and gausian blur will get rid of alot of it. I just tried it there and to me it looks ok

    I think! :D

    i like it, a bw with a bit of vignetting would be a quick fix...

    The eyes look sharp, in that res anyway. Looks like a nice portrait alright.

    The Highlight on top of his head is more of a problem.
