    Default Photo HELP

    Hi Guys.

    I took a lot of phots just recently. All looked fine on the camera until I looked at the photos on the PC. When viewing them full size, it was obvious that there was some sort of reflection on the ceiling.

    Do you Xara Experts know how I can edit or overlay something to mask this?

    There has to be a way of doing it and hopefully something not too complicated as I have a lot of photos to do this on.

    I have attached a .xar file with an example of the problem.
    I have reduced the size of the photoin the .xar as each photo is 4Mb to 6Mb in size.

    PLEASE can anyone help?

    A bit rough and ready, but you'll get the flipping picture (so to speak )

    Hi Sledger.

    I did try and use the bitmap fill.
    But, I am not experienced enough to do what you did !!!

    I tried to just cover the reflection part itself whereas you have filled a much bigger area and flipped the fill.

    Very good indeed and hopefully I can do this as quick as you did.

    At least, this now gives me some hope as there are about 100 images to correct.

    Many thanks for the idea and I shall make a start tomorrow as it's nearly 2am here in the UK.

    I couldn't get to sleep whilst worrying about the problem. You have now removed that worry because I have something to work on now.

    I am in your debt. Just let me know how I can repay you?

    Yours gratefully.

    Duplicated the photo - using photo tool set the brightness to -50% - move to back, original set to circular transparency.

    Another option is to do a little slicing and plop the couple into a new location
