You can choose to sample an area by holding alt and clicking within an area on your bush that would be a good source to add some replacement material with, and the program actually blends the edges together for you. In newer versions of photoshop, you don't even have to hold alt, it does the thinking for you, but I'm guessing you have an older version. Also, if you have a version that is so old that the bandaid tool is not present, hitting S for the clone stamp tool will work similarly but it will not automatically blend the edges for you, so it takes a little more work. Same deal, hold alt and click to define the source you are cloning from. Apologies if you are already familiar with all this, but I thought I would pass it on!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021681734078075329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389379510958307370.post-90861234105319187042013-03-22T16:32:14.956-07:002013-03-22T16:32:14.956-07:00It's interesting to see your process.

I learned to do a couple of things that I needed for a project and then never went back to the tuts. And I have a version of Photoshop that my girlfriend gave me because they got a newer version before they even istalled this one. But I'm just not sure I'm willing to put in all the time required to learn how to use it. For now, I'd rather be stitching.<br /><br />PS. I Love the roof on the first cottage. Reminds me of Fable Cottage in Victoria, BC. I would love to live in a "hobbit" house - I've seen a couple of very neat homes made of ferro-cement with lots of curves in walls and such. Maybe in my next life....Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744022499786263474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389379510958307370.post-27625158577305203442013-03-22T11:25:46.651-07:002013-03-22T11:25:46.651-07:00This is great to know.

I would also love to see how you work with words in photoshop to imbed in your blocks (if you do that).<br />Thanks so much for explaining this. It was very helpful.<br />Maureen in MarylandAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698553924338161233noreply@blogger.com
