removal of background railings

[geoffcox]

Hello

I am using PSP8 and a trial version of PSPX8

There are some railings in the background of a picture and the horizontal iron bars are either side of the person's head.

How to remove or obscure the horizontal bars?!

Thanks

Geoff

I should have added this pic to show the bars I would like to remove ...

You could try cloning. Or in X8, select the bars with the selection tool and use magic fill.

I have manged to use the select / magic fill on 2 of the 4 bar areas but now after selecting an area with the free hand selection tool and then selecting magic fill the little picture (better word?) for the tool doesn't change - still the selector tool !?

If you are working on a layered image, make sure that the layer you have selected in the layers palette is not a vector layer, or if a raster layer make sure you have the proper layer selected.

I thought I had posted again - it was my mistake. After selecting the areas I only had to click on the magic fill button and the changes were made!
