Thanks Harry for finding the 14th object I missed counting. Funnily enough, that particular object was the first one I removed. Too many Sunday interruptions
To should keep John a little busier I'm not going to mention how many missing objects there are in this one
If he get's this one nailed too quickly, next time I'll leave out the original photo
14 now! Conspiracy! Nah, my screen needs cleaning ... and my glasses. Can't you do another of those revealed-in-parts blurry puzzles you did last year. Liked those. Couldn't do them, but liked them
You first captured my interest trying to find the objects but after watching the suggested video tutorial, I had more fun trying to remove the objects that you did. I had seen that video tutorial about a year ago but did not see useful application until I see what you did with the photos. Great job by the way. You need to have a skillful eye to see other areas to replace your objects with. Great job removing the couple from the banister. It took me a while to figure out how you did that.
I love Xara. Every day I find something new that Xara can do.
Apart from the fun aspect, the idea for the thread is really as mentioned in the OP.
Rik has picked up on this well and Psaumure (Welcome to TG by the way) has been motivated to try himself.
I think John and Harry are just too good at this, clearly I'm not trying hard enough.
If I get time today I'll throw one more in - perhaps something a little more difficult like a photo of fog.
