Hi,

I have a image (http://www.flickr.com/photos/15048556@N05/4574509349/ sizes/o/). The image is transparent. There is a hole in the middle that I would like to get rid of. I tried to make a new layer and copy a small area from other part of the image but when I overlay it on top of the hole area, the transparency got change. can Anyone tell me how can I get rid of the hole?

Thanks,

fireman

as always there are several ways. one is to do what you actually have done already, but merge those two layers together, a 2nd method would be just to clone over it. i personally would probably cut out a section using the marquee, save it to a new layer, then move the same size marqueee over the hole cut it out again, then move the copied layer to the hole you just cut out.

so essentially you are not copying over you are replacing a piece with a piece from somewhere else. then the variation of that is to duplicate that image you have, move it to the left / right , marquee around the dot you want to erase. choose the dotted layer and delete the selected area. using the same selection choose the new layer which you moved, and reverse it then delete

I believe you need to change the mode of the image, then do your correction, then change back and save a ‘new’ transparent form.

FWIW, when filling, I copy the original, insert the correction under the copy and blend the edges.
