| 1. Load an image in Photoshop.
I will Eliminate the lady on your left using the 'Patch Tool (J)'. |
 |
|
| 2. Select the Patch Tool from
the toolbar, and begin drawing around the area you wish to eliminate. In this case i
started off small, since i only have a small area to the far left of it to mimic. |

|
3. Once you've completed
connecting the two end
points to create a marquee selection (indicated by the 'marching ant's), with the
'Patch Tool' still selected, single click inside the 'marching ant's' (now indicated
by a solid black, white outlined arrowhead), then drag
away to a new area you'd like to sample from. (As I have indicated here!)
Hold the Shift Key as you drag horizontal left to avoid any horizontal disfiguration.
Then let go of the of the mouse. |

|
4. Photoshop will now clone the
new sample area and snap it back
into the area you started with. As you can see in my example.
Repeat the process #2 and #3, working your way down the area you wish to eliminate.
You may not achieve a smooth blend on every try so don't be shy to undo and re-sample from
another area of the picture to achieve a better affect.

|
5. Presto! Process of elimination
complete.
After a few tries I got the manipulation effect I wanted and then went on to
do some Color correction steps to get the image you see on the right.
Hope this was helpful. |
