Solution #1
Crop the photo so the unwanted object is no longer part of the picture. If needed, you can then resize the picture to its original size.
Solution #2
Remove telephone wires with the remove scratch feature. This feature blends the wires into the surrounding area.
Solution #3
If you upgrade to Digital Image Suite, you can also try the following:
Paint over the telephone wires or branches using the clone brush. The clone brush lets you paint over an area using the color and texture of another part of your picture, such as the sky or surrounding area.
Solution #4
If you upgrade to Digital Image Suite, you can also try the following:
Erase distracting elements with Smart Erase. Smart Erase removes part of a picture and then blends the surrounding colors and textures into the removed area.
