Clone stamping large area Photoshop

primeshooter said:

Hi everyone, got such a great response last time in my powerlines retouch thread, that I am here for more help / learning. I am needing to remove the design from the table top in this file due to legal reasons for stock photo submission. I am not bad with the clone stamp tool as I do have to remove logos often for stock etc, but it's such a large area I just know it's going to look fake if I try it. Can anyone advise, step by step, their best method? Photoshop only please!

Forget the clone stamp. Select and fill the area with a solid color. Then add highlights, shadows and noise to resemble the table surface.

Instead of the clone tool, I selected the table area and used this selection to fill it in with the colour of the table. I then added back in the reflections of his arms.

Yes, this is a simpler way to go. Just be sure to add shadows on the wood, under the arm, and contact shadows along the edge of the object on the table.

Hi thanks for the try. My problem is my eyes just scream photoshopped to that area now. I mean that with respect...it's just what my eyes see.

Hi looks better. Can you explain those layers and how you achieved this specifically?

If the layers aren't self-explanatory, then you need to find tutorials and learn about layers and layer masks. That would be too much to try to explain here. Sorry.

There are all sorts of background textures available for free. This is textured glass. There are also metal textures that look like glass. Just do a search.
