Woman in Garden

Please let me know what you think.

Bambi, I think this looks pretty good. It's a minor thing, but I wonder on the skirt which is the correct coloring---the top half or the bottom half?

Interesting photo!

I selected this from Hannie's Gallery because I wanted to try my new CS5 Content-Aware Fill. Damage around the edges, with lots of miscellaneous dense foliage around the woman. It's far from a one step fix, but I have to say it shaved 75 percent off my time on this picture.

I did it just like the Adobe CS5 tutorial. Selected the woman, copied and pasted her into a new layer. Then expanded the woman selection by 10 pixels and filled the background. Still a lot of work to do and there was some pattern repetition, but a quick start on what could have been a difficult picture.  I don't know how I would have cloned the background without it.

One tip: Do the preliminary spotting in the undamaged areas before using Content-Aware Fill. It replicates all the white spots in the into the damaged areas!

I rely on you, Margie. I can fix that.

Is that better?
