Landscape PP - odd shape of light

[DorsetDude]

Image:

Took this today and processed it best I could. There is an odd blob of orangey light on the central cliff face, Ive no idea what it is. Is there anway I could blend the colour of the surrounding cliff face into it without changing the detail of that bit of cliff? If you see what I mean?

Any Crit welcomed as well


Many thanks

I'd say it's probably a bit of lens flare, a reflection from the sky.

Anyway of PP'ing it out do you think?

Thanks

What software are you using?

Spot healing tool/healing tool/patch tool and clone stamp tool will get rid of that.

You can clone it out with the clone stamp tool, use lighten colour and darken colour modes instead of normal

You could try a feathered selection on a duplicate layer, use the eyedropper to pick a bit of cliff colour you like, then just paint over the flare with a brush in `colour` mode. Reduce the opacity for a neater blend:

I didn't know you could do that, put the layer into colour mode and it'll be like similar to cloning, works really well.
