Help/advice on a photo re-touch
« on: February 19, 2013, 02:35:55 PM »
In Photoshop or PhotoPAINT, what's the best easiest way to touch up the blue slice of sky in this pic?
I'm thinking of a paintbrush using a tint(partial opacity) of the green color obtained with the eyedropper. Is this the way that you would do it as well?
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

In Photoshop I'd use the rubber stamp tool to pick up the sky color/texture and paint it in. I'd paint over that section of bridge, too, then just clip a portion farther to the left that's pretty much a match and paste it into place.

And Steve and Tom, thanks, I'll look into clipping a piece of the bridge. I had thought about the rubber stamp, but can't line that up accurately.

Robert, that's what I kept thinking, mainly due to the background, guess my age
(or lack of) is showing. So is that the Key Systems tracks on the bottom deck?
