hercules tower

Original image

step 1 of 13

I removed the tower using the patchtool little by little.

step 2 of 13

removed more of the tower using the patchtool.

step 3 of 13

Made selections of the bottom of the picture and duplicated it to cover bottom parts of the tower and to keep the grassline

step 4 of 13

made circulair selections of parts of the greenery on the wallside to use to cover up other parts randomly so it dont look duplicated.

step 5 of 13

paste the selection on top of a line so id cover that up right away aswell.

step 6 of 13

Used the eraser with a soft ege randomly on the edges of the circle that pasted there so u dont see it anymore as pasted on :). I have repeated this many times till I was satisfied with how the wall looked like.

step 7 of 13

used patchtool to clean up the sky some more and here u can also see how the reconstruction of my wall has gone so far.

step 8 of 13

There you go, sky and wall pretty much clean reconstructed.

step 9 of 13

here you see the image as a whole halfway.

step 12 of 13

Cut out the girlsource using pentool. Thnx much faestock for the use of your stock :).

2: source 2

step 13 of 13

Here u can see both the girl and the bird added to the image. I traced the edges of the girl with a very small and soft blur brush to make her fit to the background and dont look cut out. Erased some parts at the bottom where the grass is to make parts of the original grass from the background go though it. I have been playing arround with grass brushes but i was not happy with the result and just left it as it was.
