 |
|
Hi all,
I need to make the background of an old window homogeneous (in this case get rid of posts and grids on bottom windows) and keep the background look, so I can apply new style of window on top.
I tried a new background for my new window but too hard, I think it will be faster for me if I could use a tool like "Spot Healing Brush" ( I tried but made a mess), basically I need a tool that allows me to pick a spot and kind of duplicate it all over, is there such thing?
Please see this picture in my website:

If my explanation is not clear please let me know.
Thanks for any help! |

Clone Tool (s). Once you're done with the clone tool, follow it up with the Healing tool to blend everything in nice and even.

Thanks Medley, I was kind of hoping of a different solution (less time consuming).
Thanks anyway!

| That's not time consuming, to be honest. De facto I find it to be quite fast, in the right hands that is. Just practice and you'll get faster and more efficient in the process. There is no magical "Remove posts and grids" button in Photoshop. |

No magical, I am disappointed, I was told Photoshop was amazing.
Seriously I was thinking more of copying a part (between the grids) and apply it to the rest of the window multiple times automatically (tile) and then apply the Spot Healing Tool to clean-up.
Now that would be magical.
Thanks again

I think the fastest solution in my mind would be to simply replace the windows all together.
IE: Just copy some random image of curtains and paste them on top of the windows. You can recolor the curtains to make them similar to the current ones if need be, but I feel like that is a fast fix that will yield a descent result. |

That is a very good idea.
I am going to try it.
One question (I am a newbie), would I be able to use the "Patterns", and how?
Wouldn't the size of the windows be a problem, how to deal with stretching the image.
Maybe I am jumping ahead of myself, I will look for a curtain image first.
Thanks a lot for your help
