cs6 - Best way to repair photo with top of head cut off

Sep 15, 2012 9:40 AM

Tags: #top_of_head_cut_off_in_photo

I have a photo of a puppy, where just the top of the head where the hair is, is cut off - out of the camera shot. When using the quick selection tool and placing this image on a new background, the top therefore has a flat line at top. Which is the best feature to try to replace what was cut off in that original photo (shown below) ? Would that be the content aware patch tool? Or would you just use the paintbrush to try to paint it in? With all the subtle colors, that is difficult.

Please give me instruction with the suggested tool. I'm a beginner.

 

thank you,

    A conventional clone stamp job will do just fine. Little fluffy there has enough similar regions that could be borrowed to fill in the head.

    Thanks! That worked fine. Here is retouch:gwen-new2.gif

    I probably need to smooth the outline a bit but now I have a start.

    I'm just practicing with my poodle.

     

    much thanks
