removing a house from a photo

I have a photograph of an existing house that we took with a camera. I drew a house with sketchup that I need to insert onto the site photo, and I need to remove
the existing house from the photo. Is this something that renderplus can help me
with?

I'm not sure of anything we have that makes this easier.

I'll post it on our forum and see if any other users have any good ideas.

I added this query to the SketchUcation forum as well.

Perhaps someone there can offer some advice

I don'tknow if I'm being helpful or not but Photoshop is your best way to remove the house. You can use the clone tool to extend the sky and landscape (Around the house) over the house. You probably only need to remove what will be seen behind the new sktechup house. I beleive you can use Photoshop elements to do this task,, which is a very affordable program, compared to the full version.

The SketchuCation Forum added some great examples.

Here is a photo with a house in it:

And here is the same photo with some automatic processing by Photoshop:

Its pretty impressive and none of the Render Plus tools can do anything like this.

Hi Al

Yes the `content aware` fill is awesome - I have also found the content aware spot healing brush equally useful - also really good for infilling curvature allowance on stitched panoramas
