I have an image with little holes in it where the white background shows through.
I want to 'smooth out' these 'holes'. It's actually a tweedy jacket, a mixture of blue and green flecks. It has 'holes' in it because I've cut out this image and pasted it onto a different background. Most of the 'holes' are all around the edge where it wasn't 'cut out' too well. But some are in the body where there was light I didn't want.
I tried color sampling the jacket body with the eyedropper and brushing them out but the picked up colours were either a wrong color - just one single color (blue or green, say) or a blend taken by sampling an area - a blend that didn't suit, didn't look at all like the jacket, just looked like a smear.
What I want is more of the exact same. 'Spotty', lumpy, many coloured, flecked, what ever you might call it. How do I get that?
In Paintshop Pro I've been in the habit of copying an area and pasting it in repeatedly to cover the bits I want covered. Trouble is that's a rectangle I copy and paste and difficult to fit to curved edges. Or, rather, the repeated pasting is a drag. A smooth run like with a brush will be great.
But I can do that if I have to. But I'm thinking this bells-and-whistles prog, Photoshop, will surely have a better way?
p.s.
These color sample things with the eyedropper. I now have four of them stuck on the jacket and I can't get rid of them. I wanted to experiment further, see if I could get something that would work - found you can only have four and I've apparently got 'em. How do I get rid of them?
