Learnt of a promo deal going on with this Mac application:

Watch the video ... I have no idea how they do it (what algorithm or principle behind the algorithm).

For folks who use Photoshop ... can you do the same with Photoshop? Would it be hard or easy to do that with Photoshop?

Yes you can do that with Photoshop (they've really improved the quality of the healing brush in the latest releases of Photoshop), and yes it would be just as "easy" although the effectiveness of the healing brush really depends on the image. Fixing an image over grass or pavement is easier than removing a person in the middle of a crowd of people, for example. Still...this app seems to streamline the feature and do pretty much what Photoshop does. Pretty cool! :thumb:

Nice.

I use Corel Photo-Paint to do things like this - it's not that easy.

But I am using a version that I bought in 1997. No kidding 14-year-old software meets all my image editing needs. I use it a lot.

Any app is very limited in its ability to remove large objects from an image.
It's one thing to take an animated image and remove an object like flowers, and replace them with a textured gray gradient resembling the road behind them.
It wouldn't do well however, at removing a person from a photograph in a living room, and having the wall behind them with pictures on it show up as though they were never in the picture.
Photoshop can easily color match segments of an image, and allow you to quickly remove small/large objects - but it depends entirely on the background that you're trying to match.
No software that I'm aware of can do photo-real touchup at that level, creating pixels that were never captured to begin with.
There are some amazing software out there, that can do a convincing job of healing missing information from images - but nothing like being able to remove seamlessly large objects from a multi-layered, rasterized image.
