Need help with cloning

[MWerner]

The little girl in this picture is adorable, but she's being very three and doing something weird with her arm. Otherwise, I'm just in love with this family portrait. I'm trying to clone out her arm so that it looks like it's tucked behind her body or something. Anyone wanna take a stab at it? I'm having issues with it and would be deeply grateful to anyone who's able to have some success with it.

Feel free to edit and repost the photo. You can download the original image here.

If you clone to tuck it in, go right to the shoulder. take off her sleeve as well.
if not/or try selecting it free transforming it down wards and then clone stampping in the white and all..


I would give it a try, but its late and im going to bed

this is a great picture. best of luck

I did a quick edit of the opposite arm. I also tweaked the photo a bit for you

Thanks for all your help, guys! I buckled down and tried it again. I'm so glad that the dad's shirt was so simple. A more complex pattern would have been aweful to clone! This is what it looks like after all my processing. The family absolutely LOVED it!

hi, i'm new to this forum. i was browsing and saw this thread. i tried my hand at it and raised the child a little bit and put her left arm around her dad's shoulders, i selected the child and put it in another layer and used the layer mask.
