  1. Fantastic, Karl! Pure magic of Photoshop 2020! Especially in your presentation.
    I’ve only one question left. Why did you choose to get rid of the kid and the dinghy but left the woman under the dinghy lying there?

    1. Ha no particular reason, this was just a snap of my wife on my phone and just used it as an example. If it was a professional shot I would have made sure there was nothing causing a problem in the background to begin with!

      1. No disrespect. I thought it was just a part of your usual thinking process: “H-m-m, do I need that woman on the sand in the background. H-m-m, I kind of like her there. Yeah, I guess I’ll leave her there be…”

        1. No worries at all I just thought I’d point out that this photo and the choices were purely for demonstration purposes, I joked that I should have removed my wife from the picture and everyone else and just had the view 😊

          1. I doubt your wife will ever forgive you for saying that, Karl. Unless she really believes it was a joke on your part.

      1. I think it must have been some kind of bug in Safari – when I switched to Chrome it showed up for me as well.
