Hi Rob. Well done, great video and great photography. One tip I like to use is when you have just the background layer after the content aware fill i like to add a Blur>Average just to blend any sharp edges. I liked and subscribed. Your video popped up in my recommended most likely because I have been searching bird photography. I’ll check out your blogs. Have a good day
Great, I think I should start doing more background fixing as it really improves on making the bird take centre stage. Thanks for that, very informative.
thank you Rob for this calm and instructive tutorial. I relly like your way of presenting what you are doing in the field and in your "office". And your very beautiful pictures. My self don`t have the equipment or photogear to manage what you do, but i enjoy beeing in the nature to take pictures. Thank you for inspirering me.
I'm my opinion, I did too. Maybe it's because I'm a little inexperienced compared to him, but I saw nothing wrong with the original, however they both looked amazing to me.
Thanks a lot, Rob. I have a question. I am on a linux machine which already has GIMP. Can I do something similar using it, instead of purchasing Photoshop.
I recently photographed a group of badgers in my local area. The subjects look great but the background is quite poor. Would replacing the background in Photoshop be considered fake wildlife photography? I waited hours for them to immerge from their sett and it would seem a terrible shame for the images to go to waste despite the undesirable background.
Actually I shoot all my wildlife handheld. The 500PF is the perfect lens in this regard - lightweight and incredibly good VR. A bit of good technique goes a long way too. Thanks for your comment!
Hmmm I love all this can be done, but, to me, I do feel it's kinda cheating the viewer into thinking the final version is un-edited and just great camera work?
At last someone who talks at a slower speed so I can actually see how it is done. Thank you!

If you have any weird "pinching" left by the content aware fill - select the PATCH TOOL, draw around the area, drag to the side, easy.
So glad I have found this tutorial. Many thanks Rob you have made this easy to understand, great work.
Very nice image of a gorgeous bird. We have a similar looking bird-of-prey here called American Kestrel.
Thanks again Rob to a great video tutorial of fixing backgrounds for cleaner shots.
Cheers Rob. A tutorial at a pace I can understand.
Brilliant demonstration, you make it look so easy! Thank you.

Really enjoyed your video, Rob! I had to subscribe. Thank you for your great work.
Great idea !!!!!! Gets really tough if you are trying to fill areas behind any part of the bird.
Great tutorial. This is exactly what I was trying to solve with an almost identical situation with a bird photograph
Very clear and well explained, at a good speed. I look forward to more of your instructional videos, thanks

Very useful

Nice tutorial. Great job
really good tutorial buddy, have a new sub!
Rob I need more personalised training on this 😢 This is very useful and informative..
Thank for it
I wasn't aware that content-aware fill could be performed on a locked background layer. Thanks.
Thanks Rob, I got more from this tutorial than I thought possible, steady and to the point. Thanks.
Good job, bro!!!
OMG this is AMAZING something ill do in the future will save me lots of time thanks sooo much..
Thanks a lot, Rob.
I have a question.
I am on a linux machine which already has GIMP.

That was quite impreessive

Good stuff Rob, I take it the camera was locked off on a tripod to get the kestrel sharp at 1/60th at 500mm?
Actually I shoot all my wildlife handheld. The 500PF is the perfect lens in this regard - lightweight and incredibly good VR. A bit of good technique goes a long way too. Thanks for your comment!
Looking at the image it was taken at 1/60 second with low ISO. Had you got your camera on a tripod or monopod as its a very low s/s for a 500fl ?
Why does this video not play? It worked 100% a few hours ago??
Hmmm I love all this can be done, but, to me, I do feel it's kinda cheating the viewer into thinking the final version is un-edited and just great camera work?
itsnot work in my one,

Just one thing though... This doesn't need that bloody awful 'music' in the background.
and I went to Richmond countless times and only saw woodpeckers.
