Photoedit - Foot clean up

[Are Kay Elle]

My mom took this picture of my grandmothers cat but my grandmother got her foot in the way. So even though she loved the shot she wanted to have it be only of the kitty, so of course I took it out for her since it's part of what I do professionally.

What I did first was the easiest parts, where the image was still light, right where the slippers are I copied/pasted the parts of the pattern which were not covered, than I took these and matched them up to what I thought followed the actual pattern.

After the easier parts I tackled the shadows, the hardest part of the shadows is to make sure that it all matches up properly, luckily though using the darkness/contrast scales on a singular layer is a great way to make it all match up.

Finally the trickiest part was the flowers on the carpet, in order to do these I just used copied the other whole ones with the round selector and repeatedly adapted the darkness/contrast scales to make it fit what I wanted, and viola, no more slippers!

Whoops! Sorry, I have no idea how I managed to do this, but somehow I posted this in the wrong section! Sorry about that!!
