Using MSU Image Restoration

Is a plugin for Photoshop CS2 and greater developed by the Moscow State University - Graphics & Media Lab Video Group.
They also develop very useful video codecs and filters for VirtualDub.

This filter will save you some time if you want to remove something from a still image. It's not that perfect but acceptably fast (if you keep the settings down).

Make a quick mask around the thing you want to remove from the image and apply the filter. Here is what I did in less than 30 seconds.



Get the plugin here. And try it out.
