Inevitably there was some loss of image quality no matter how good the work.

All of the work you see in that finished picture could be done by a skilled retouch artist, but it was expensive and time-consuming, plus the airbrushed master had to be re-photographed to get a new negative. I was hooked!īack in the day (he wheezed), to do something like that required making a master print to be sent to an airbrusher. The walkers were actually easy since there was so much bare gravelly ground for source material. The removal of the walkers and the poles and wires was all thanks to that astonishing clone stamp, taking pixels from one place and painting them over another.

I straightened the vertical, cloned out the distracting walkers(!), and while I was at it, I also removed some poles and wires and opened up the shadows. I popped the CD into the drive and went to work. We had my slides developed and a CD made. But back home I had an untried but powerful secret weapon: a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0, with a clone stamp! Maybe I could rescue the shot.

The curtain literally rose (they are there to aid in venting), the Ski Train emerged, and I made my single preplanned shot, but there were those other two fellas (not what I called them at the time) in my frame! I was NOT a happy camper. You can see the end of the roll was right there I nearly tore the film off the spool. I was only going to get one shot win, lose, or draw.

The Moffat is 6.2 miles long with a speed limit of 15 mph the train needed about half an hour to transit. We knew it was in there because the exhaust blowers were deafening. We waited in the blazing sun outside the East Portal of Colorado’s Moffat Tunnel at 9,200 feet elevation, getting cheerfully sunburned while waiting for a train to pop out. In summer 2006 I had exactly one frame of film left in my camera (oops) and no more in the bag. The Clone Tool (or Stamp) was the first tool I ever used in Photoshop (Elements 2.0).
