Glad everyone is enjoying the Letter removed images done by myself and medkek24.

I'd love to see more of last years calendar with the lettering removed medkek24 if you have any more done or time to do some more. If not I might have a go at last years myself a little later in the year.

In terms of this year's calendar it really is an 80:20 rule for the time required. The initial process of creating layer masks over the letters then blending and making levels adjustments only took 20% of the time on the first image I posted. Cleaning up the artifacts left, usually around the edges of the letters is what took 80% of the time. So on the image attached I have only done a small amount of clean up work. You can totally see traces of the lettering on this one but the question is, are people satisfied with this level of clean up or not? If they are then I can complete the work in half the time (like I say I spend some time cleaning up still).

I don't have much time to do them so they would still be drip fed out over the year but at a faster rate and the drip feeding keeps the thread going during the lean summer months! Let me know what you think...
