Removing objects from photo

In this first tutorial I want to explain how will you remove an object from photo. Reason is next. Through whole this beginners guide, I must explain how will you often use the selection tools and such.

Open the Photoshop and then open your photo whatever you want. I prefer using bigger photos. Reason is when you want to delete an object from small photo it doesn't look real. On the bigger photos you have more samples to copy. You'll see what am I thinking right now. This is the photo I'll use:




We'll remove left duck from the photo. First select the duck's legs. It should look like this:



Then take a Patch tool, and listen carefully now. Click and hold selection, just like when you're drag'n'dropping, and drag that selection to the most similiar sample of the ground. This is my result so far:



So far so good. Now we want to get very realistic photo, without one duck. Now take a Clone Stamp Tool, click right-mouse button and set these options:

Master Diameter: 18 px
Hardness: 100%

But you must select Soft Mechanic brush down there. Then hold an ALT key and click the most similiar sample of ground. And then just brush the duck. But be careful. It won't be great for the first time, you need practice this. I'll give you time until tommorow to practice this. If you don't undestand I'll make video tutorial on how to remove an object from a photo. So if you want that just let me know, write it in the Comments or email me....
This is my result:



Pretty huh. You'll learn to do same this, you'll see. But you must PRACTICEEEE :))

So, this would be easy tutorial, in the next tutorial we'll learn some retouching, maybe changing color of eyes, or color the hair.

So, bye bye.
