Help please - Not sure what to do!

[Joshwain]

I've been taking a couple of shots to hopefully end up with something decent enough for stock samples. I've come across this problem though...

The plan is to blow out the white background but just as I was about to do so, I noticed this. I think it could have been avoided through using a CPL but is there any way of editing this out at this stage?

Cheers, Josh

the two white dots on the right should clone out easily enough - plenty of similar area to take from .

The larger area I might suggest paint over a similar colour with a low opacity - to reduce this effect, rather than completly remove it.

Cheers, I've ended up with this

looks good to me - you've not lost the texture in the large area you highlighted.

and the background lift works well - loosing the edges of the plate

The areas you circled did not look totally blown and possibly add depth so I would not have worried about them. The edgies of the picture are a mixture of blue-grey, pink-grey and white, that is something to sort out before you submit for stock
