A few pages back, Ray shared this really nice industrial image and I told him about Luminar Neo taking out the powerlines. He sent me the image and I tan it through Luminar to see what it could do. Below is Ray's original and the 2nd one is using Luminar's 1 click powerline removal. There may be a few spots that need additional work but not too bad overall.

This is impressive work. My expectations were low considering the complexity of the scene. I think a simpler scene will be a breeze for this software. This one had not power lines but also shadows and some of the bracing work that looks like power lines to be removed.

Colin - It will be interesting to see how you do with PS and how long it takes you.

Scott - I agree with your assessment of On1. But there has been some talk about them adding a similar action as Luminar with one of their updates.

Siphiwe - You're right, it works even better with simpler scenes.

FWIW, I really like Luminar Neo, buy it doesn't offer as much as other programs. and it acts weird on my computer, thus the reason I switched to On1.

Thanks Leighton, that is really impressive for a 1-click solution. I think I can see some of the spots that need more attention in the cleaned up version you posted. I'd be interested to see up close what it did at the intersections of the walkways and railings on the tower, where there are many elements with light and shadow, and railings that are close to parallel to the power lines.

Can't wait to see what Colin comes up with.

Here you are. You can see it needs a little more work, but...

My offering... A mere 25 minutes using the Remove Tool and Spot Healing Tool.
I probably missed a few lines. I am not an expert in this so there might have been better methods.
Makes me realize a Wacom pen/tablet would speed things up a bit compared to using a mouse.
It is bit rough in some places but could be overcome with more effort.

Probably best viewed on Flickr.

Colin, that looks very good.

I use my Wacom quite a bit. I didn't get one until about 6 months ago. Now, I don't know how I got along without it.

That looks great Colin!! Your edit and Leighton's edit took an almost throw-away shot and captured the primary appeal about that setting to me in terms of the steelwork, and the steelwork contrasted against the concrete, and the good lighting that morning with the great shadows.

I really need to polish up my PS skills now. I use a few very basic tools in PS (and am very seldom in PS to be honest, most of the shots finish PP in LR). I've got a lot of learning to do. And then there's the whole patience thing in performing a lot of cleanup :-)

Thanks for the color, we're still in the gray days of winter where everything looks drab outside. You must spend a lot of time in your garden to have it be so beautiful.

Most times I wish I did. I'm the original gardener in my home. I used to take my girlfriend with to nurseries looking for stuff for my house. Then we got married, bought a house and she just took to gardening in a way I never expected. Guess all she needed was her own house. She is quite dedicated to it. I'm just the photographer, ocassional hands and finance secretary . Happy wife, happy life, they say.

The marine tropical weather helps with the year round green. It never gets brown at the coast, unlike inland at my folks place.
