Since you have PhotoShop CS6 and have to ask about altering a photo, I suggest getting a book with tutorials for using CS6. Even your local library should have Photoshop "how to" books". Even books for older versions Photoshop will get you started.

PhotoShop is a very powerful application and would be very hard to learn what it can do without instruction.

I learned photoshop entirely in SevenForums. From zero knowledge to toady what the level may be.... my fellow members may judge it.

Just want to say.... if I can, anybody can. It is not that hard that it is thought to be.

I still stand by my first post. The advice to use the Spot Healing brush or the Content Aware move tool is sound advice, but most new users would have trouble finding the proper tool, much less how to use it. Newbees even have trouble understanding layers.

I spent many years correcting and changing hi-rez drum scanner files for ad agency's. My employer would send me to Photoshop seminars every year, and I always learned new ways to do things.

I've found Photoshop Elements does everything I need to do now days, no need to spend the big $$$ for the CS versions. When I need to use LAB color mode or convert a file to CMYK, I use a really old version of Photoshop 4 I keep handy.

Well we'll still offer advice which will be easier to understand than wading through a lot of book, if that is OK with you Bumpkin. Since you have so much PS training, why not give some real help rather than criticizing those of us who do try to help?

Jeezz, now who is criticizing who?

I was only trying to help the OP get started using Photoshop.

I'm out of here!
