dun drool ok, guys??

any comment of my first ever healing image?

another one done today, this one much harder, took me 1 and half hour to get it satisfactory

errr, actually there is a couple of tools that is handy while healing broken images:

1. Clone stamp tool (use the most)
2. Healing tool (sometimes handy, but not everytime)
3. Marquee tool (normally use with feather option)
4. Lasso tool (also use with feather option)
5. Blur tool (not often)

first, use clone stamp tool to heal the broken part by selecting good pixels around the broken part, brush at 3-5px liddat. Redraw the broken part several times until satisfactory (zoom in and out to compare).

then u might use blur tool or heal tool to further smoothen the pixels, but not everytime very successful, so u might undo it. finally ur healing part will still looks weird (bcoz originaly is broken anyway),

then u might use lasso tool (i use polygonal) or marquee tool with 5-10px feather select the good pixels besides the heal part, then ctrl-c and ctrl-v to copy to new layer, then select the new layer and move it to the heal part, then it will look more natural. adjust the layer opacity if u wan, then merge the layer with the original picture.

after copy-paste-merge job for several times until u feel good with the pic and the healing job done by safe the file (either safe for web or wat)!

step by step tutorial

im just showing part of the image


originally is like this, probably a scanned image but bad binding or wat, argh spoil my mood >.<


then, i use clone stamp tool to repair the white part (alt-click the good area, then fill up the broken area), note that left and right in different tone.... =.=". woot, looks weird! hv to blend the "sempadan" together and make it smooth


then i use heal tool to blur the line. just alt-click the good area and start heal across the "sempadan". now looks better but yet, looks unnatural also


now is the magic part, use lasso tool with 3-10px (desired) feather, select pixels besides the unnatural part, then copy-paste to a new layer, then select it and move it to cover the unnatural part. u might adjust the opacity of the layer to make it natural. do this several times until u satisfy wif it. haha, now looks more natural (although still feel abit flatten oso)

so this is the final result:
