After the fact I have been asked to remove the 3 males in the picture. Can it be done? I have elements but never have done this. Any help would be appreciated. I can't respond until sunday. Thanks bunches!!!

It would be very time-consuming and probably easy to spot the photoshopping due to the busy background and the fact that the guys in the front are covering up what's behind them.

If you can't re-shoot the photo, perhaps cropping most of the lower half would make cloning a bit more feasible, but it would still take a while.

Thanks Adam. I thought that was the case but hoping there were some tricks I didn't know!!!

its halloween... clone a mask on 'em

You might do something with content aware fill in Photoshop but as Adam says very time consuming to clean up and most likely noticeable no matter what.

Nothing a little cropping, content aware and creative copying can't resolve.

Don´t do it. They pose for you and it´s your picture. People are crazy today, delete that picture! don´t take a picture on me, and so on. Don´t do it!

Its not impossible..It can be done..But its very time consuming. I would charge a lot to do it.

So, if they dont like it..too bad for them.

Asked by them to delete them in the picture because they think they look silly or asked by someone who wanted a "women only" picture?

As a lab scientist myself, I object! Leave them be!

Tell them their gender-bias is creating a hostile work environment for you. That should get you out of it.
