Remove Object in Static Shot?
Hi Everybody,
I’m trying to determine the best technique to remove an object from a shot. Nothing passes in front of the object, and there is no camera movement.
I’ve tried the clone tool — using a “clean” part of the shot to paint over the object. it looks alright, but the pixels start to look messy, kind of like a bad “healing brush” job in photoshop. Even though clone tool isn’t perfect, it’s the best option I’ve found, since I need to make sure I recreate the digital grain in the cover up (which is why I don’t just bring it into photoshop and use the patch tool.)
Thoughts on an alternative to the clone tool? Any help would be much appreciated.
THANKS!

Could you post a screenshot?

Depending on the shot, i even often prefer to use just a single still image rather than a loop of 4 or 5. With more than one, you need to be more careful with your healing work so there is no boiling or rippling. With a single frame you can just clean it up nicely and you won’t have to worry about that.
If you then run some noise/grain through the image, it can often integrate really nicely. Granted, retaining the ORIGINAL grain is going to be most authentic, but you can still get a very good result. The Add Grain effect has so many customization options.
