here is the web site for the pic. I need to remove the lady to the right and my dad's camera out of the picture. I cropped the pic already and I tried to use the clone stamp tool but it didn't work. Please help :)

Well, here's the best I can do for now. I'm still learning... I have been reading the forums a lot and believe I would have been more successful using a softer brush on the wagon wheel, but didn't know where to find one. The same thing would have helped to soften the shrubbery once the lady on the right was removed.

I'm sure someone really good will come along and make it look really good!

Bart,

To find a softer brush when using the clone tool:

Click on the clone tool then look at the top bar of the screen and you will see a box that says brush click on it and change the brush just as you would if you were using the brush tool.

I've changed brushes using that method before, but how do you know which one is softer?

Bart,

There are a series of soft brushes but I think that they are all the same softness. I don't think that in this case it is to do with the brush softness ... I am just going to do a post for Marie that should explain what I mean :)

Marcie,

You have the mode of this image set to Indexed colour and the clone tool doesn't work well in this mode ... just due to the fact that indexed colour uses a far smaller number of colours.

Change the mode to RGB and you will get a far better result. I did this one just using the clone tool:
