Hi Andy. I didn't know that you could pay monthly for Lightroom and Photoshop, this is something i'll definitely look in to. Thanks for mentioning it! Your attempt can't be any worse than mine (I used the free Photoshop Express and it was so terrible I didn't even bother saving it), i'd love...

Hi Phil. Thank you for your reply. I know what you're saying, and I agree to an extent. I was actually planning on cropping a lot of the tarmac out so as to make the photo more rectangular, i'd still keep both versions though as I like it with the two people in the foreground too. Any advice...

Hi everyone. I'd like to remove the two front people (the females) out of this photo. Only problem is because i'm such a beginner, I haven't invested in Photoshop yet. Can anyone help me by telling me of a piece of free software (and how to do it using the software) that can be used to do this...

Hi Rhodese. Yes, I had thought that the main focus of anyone looking at the image would be the sky, i've just got a bit of a thing about light trails coming from cars. And in this instance, thought they might contrast nicely with the orange of the sky (i'm VERY new to photography so could be...

Thank you all for your advice on this topic :-) Some really good info and if I get the chance to take the photo again i'll definitely come back to this thread! I've posted the pic a couple of times if anyone, like Rhodese said, wants to have a go at it ('Slanted' pic of Brighton Pavilion)...

Some good advice there, Matthew. Thanks! I'll come back to it if/when I get the chance to shoot it again. Like your shots by the way, especially the first one. :-)

I've posted the image above Rhodese, but here it is again. :-)

Thanks for that, ianp5a, i'll have a play around with Inkscape too then. :-)

I wish I could go and shoot it agian, Keith. But unfortunately won't be able to for a while :(

A bit like these (image taken from Google Images). Not sure i'm allowed to borrow an image from there for illustrative purposes (Mods, apologies and please remove if i'm not...)

Yes, Pookeyhead, that's the kind of think i'm looking for. Is that the correct term for it then? Any tips on how I could add this to the shot?

It would be great if I could go back and do it again, but I can't for now. I'll have a go with GIMP and Photoshop CC and see how it goes. It's not for anything important and would be a good reason to learn how to use those pieces of software. Thanks Matthew.

Hi Matthew. Is that because of the software i'd use (GIMP or Photoshop CC), or because it's just not possible? Thanks.

Yes Ghoti, it's a shame I didn't have the forethought at the time as there's plenty of info and advice on getting the lighttrail effect when actually taking the photo to be found on Google, just not much about how to add it afterwards... I'll have a look at Photoshop CC as well as GIMP then...

Yes, i've heard GIMP is one of the best free types of editing software. I've downloaded it and will have a play around with it to get familiarised then spend the evening watching tutorials. Thanks for your help.
