Help needed with cloning - assistance welcome

[Ade H]

As a result of not paying a scene enough attention, which meant that I failed to remove some debris from the foreground, I have a particularly tricky cloning task that is just out of reach of my skills.:o I have experimented with it for ages, but can't get a convincing result. Would any expert image editors be up for having a go at removing the plastic bag near the bottom edge of this image? Full-size TIFF file is here.

I can give you a link to the tiff too.

Hey, that's excellent! Thanks for your help. What's the link to the full-size file?

[ChrisKraftPhoto]

For some odd reason I cannot load the .tif or .bmp to my smugmug account.

Can your email handle 26mb's?

EDIT: Figured it out; don't have a pro account.

[Ade H]

No; it's a 20MB limit I think. For outgoing files, certainly, so it's probably the same for incoming files.

i tidied up around the boat a little as well, some of the colour was bleeding

Hey, thanks Bobster. Another good edit, and you fixed the next thing on my to-do list;) Will your reduced file size have any effect when printed at A3?

[Bobster]

LZW compression is a wonderfull thing, its lossless compression for TIFF files ;)

[Ade H]

Nice one, Bobster! Thanks very much.

And thanks again to ChrisKraftPhoto for your efforts as well.

I really don't see a plastic bag m8. Could you outline it in red for me in the original picture? I'm curious :p.

[Ade H]

Swift1 -- It's the white piece of debris right in the centre of the foreground near the edge of the frame below the large log.

[ChrisKraftPhoto]

You're welcome. I got the file down to 12mb; let me know if you need it emailed.

[Ade H]

Yea, the more the merrier. I'll PM you with my e-mail address.

[Swift]

Ahh, I still can't see it >.< !

It's tiny (http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/4217/img1864semisepiakt3.jpg), and I missed it as well till I opened the .tif

[Ade H]

You two need new glasses, I reckon. ;)
