I don’t believe in ghosts, but while editing a photo taken few months ago overlooking space needle and Seattle, what appears to be a BILLBOARD appeared in background, and I cannot paint, edit, darken, lighten or anything. Can select it with magic wand, but cannot do a thing in that area. . . any ideas of where it came from, and why I can’t eliminate it, paint it or something.
Thanks
Lamar

NOW, darn, I opened it after saving as a TIFF, and then I could airbrush it out!! Strange. . . Can’t imagine where it came from.
Thanks anyway, yall are a great help to us neophytes (is that really what we are). L W

I cast a PC voodoo spell while you were replying to get rid of the ghosties in your image. You’re welcome. 🙂

Youre not a neophyte. You are a Ghost Buster.

Was this billboard up in the very top left corner, by any chance?

No, it was in the right, about 3/4 over, just over center vertically. Had very distinct horizontal rectangle shape, magic wand picked it up perfectly. It really did look just like a huge billboard in the distance over the bay to right of the space needle. Strange thing when I saved it as a tiff, opened it back, then it let me edit it and I airbrushed it right into the clouds and away. . .

The billboard didn’t have a pink tow truck that looked like a toe did it? 🙂
