This tutorial demonstrates how to clean water marks from metal surfaces in architectural photos while preserving texture. It uses Surface Blur, masks, a noise layer, and cloning to refine the result.
Syllabus
Intro
Why Gaussian blur doesn't work for this image
Surface blur to cleanup most water marks
Mask to selectively apply the blur to building
Noise layer to restore "grain" to blurred areas
Masks to protect most non-metal parts of the building
Cloning to remove a few areas that weren't fixed with the blur
