Challenging Picture Clearing

Team, 

 

How would you go along about clearing the green algaes on the horizontal concrete support walls? generative fills doesnt help much and clone stamp struggle with the questions of scale. 

 

For measure, on the horizontal scale I got about 5000 pixels --- it is a big picture!

 

all good ideas welcomed!

thanks all
Dan

@Daniel Roy what is the intent? If you are trying to show a before/after application like cleaning then you're better off just mocking up a texture over this.

If you just attempting to clean up for a better look - @Lumigraphics is right - neutralize the shot then use the healing tool to edit the darker algae areas. This is a quick and dirt example with a Levels adjustment to neutralize, color layer (set to hue) to match the hue of the concrete (masked) and then a composite layer to use the healing tool on.

Color balance is WAY off. You'll probably need to use the clone stamp and healing brush here a little at a time.

Desaturate and shift to more yellowish for example with point colour.

I am really looking to get the concrete looking pure white...
