[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 498035, member: 13090"] There is a process whereby you can take a series of several shots of a static object and "average out" things you don't want to see. The best example I've seen was a shot of something like the Taj Mahal where there were a lot of tourists milling about. You take several shots of the building over a period of several minutes, using a tripod of course, and then import each shot into Photoshop as its own layer. Photoshop merges all the shots into one layer after "averaging" them. This averaging process looks for elements that show up in ALL the layers. Anything that shows up in only one or two layers is removed auto-magically by Photoshop. The resultant photo is one of the Taj Mahal without a single tourist in sight because no single tourist was present in all the shots. I've never used the technique myself, I've only seen it done a couple of times. For this to work, however, the subject matter has to be absolutely static; at least as I understand it.
