Removing image content


I'm in no way ideological about my photography.  My approach could best be summed up as making it as simple as possible.  I use Lightroom to make my images presentable, which amounts to changes in exposure, tone, and sharpness.  I often straighten, but rarely crop and almost never use Photoshop to remove elements from an image.  This is partly due to laziness and partly to a philosophical predisposition that finds life amazing enough as it is.  If there is something I don't like in an image, I don't use it.

But recently I found myself popping open Photoshop.
