You need the Clone (Rubber Stamp) Tool. Actually. that's trickier than it looks, to preserve that grass texture without looking false. How big is the original file? You can e-mail it to me if you like and I'll have a bodge at it for you. I'm on Broadband so I can receive it regardless of size.

I like the way the wings of the two birds make one large arc and the chances of catching two in flight like that must be slim. Pity they weren't against a nice sky, but that might be cheating just a mite! :lol:

you are a genious ! :)

That does look so much better !

This was unfortunate, had potential but failed miserably ! So far out of focus lol

'Fraid not Ian, just loads of practice. :wink:

Grass can be a nightmare to clone - taramac and concrete surfaces are another. They look simple, but the texture is changing all the while. I find the secret is to set the clone tool quite transparent then keep dabbing on one spot till you have some detail and it blends in reasonably then leave it and move on to the next bit.
