Hello,

I need to place a picture of my Mom in a pamphlet, but my cousin has his hand on her shoulder in the photo.

How do I erase his hand from her shoulder?

Thank you

I would use the clone tool followed by the heal brush to clean up any harsh edges. You could post it here in the "Photo Restoration & Enhancement" forum and someone will do it for you

Welcome to GC. One of the tricks I use is to free-select the hand and cut. Then free-select the opposite shoulder and paste. From there you flip the pasted horizontally, scale to size and merge down when you are happy with it. Actually pretty easy when you have done it a number of times. Also always save the original layer so you can make as many mistakes as it takes :lol
