How did you do that? I'm still having trouble with graphic on my image. Can you explain to me some of the trick you use with photoshop?

[Jezebel]

I'm not really sure there is a short way to explain what I did. I never really have any defined methods or steps that I follow - I just tinker around until I have something I like. :)

A couple of things I can note:

- I used a combination of the healer tool and the rubber stamp tool to "delete" the person. I take special care to sample from various parts of the image so there isn't too much visible repetition (which ruins the illusion).

- When using the rubber stamp tool I prefer to use a coarse brush to a feathered one when working with rocky surfaces. Then everything stays looking rough and there are no soft spots.

- Attention to detail. Think about what you'd see if the limbs weren't there. Some little details I took care of: removing the shadows, adding a tag inside the shirt, making the sunglasses transparent so you can see the tree branches through them, tiny jpeg artifacts around the rocks/branches.

That's all I can think of :D
