I was so excited about the great shots I was getting of this ring yesterday – the light was perfect, I got a good angle that really showcased the faceted texture… How I could have missed that enormous piece of lint is a mystery.
Whenever I oxidize a piece of jewelry with liver of sulphur, I polish it with a really soft piece of cotton cloth. It brings out a lustrous shine without abrading the surface. Apparently, I need a new, lint-free cloth. Or new glasses.
Ah! So tragic, that lint. I’ve had that happen before, as well – such a bummer when you get onto the computer…
The Clone Tool! It’s your friend! Seriously, your image is totally salvageable:

Let me know what tool you’re using to process your images and I’ll find you a tutorial for the clone tool.
Thanks, Yazmin! I love the clone tool, too. I have basic photoshop elements, and if I don’t get a better picture soon, I’m resorting to that!
Hehe, okay! I falsely assumed you didn’t know about cloning. My mistake! *blush*
It was just such a good photo. Would hate for you to waste it for something fixable.
You’re not alone. That happens to me all of the time. It is a great picture.
Oh my gosh, I always seem to do that, something about moving a photo from the cameras screen to the big computer. I find things I don’t like every time, but then the lighting has changed
