another Photoshop technique is to cut/paste from a VERY similar area. When you're working with skin, - it would also take very small pieces of the skin, but a bit larger than what you want. Move the copy to "patch" over the area you want to fix. it will look pretty crappy at this point :) Adjust the transparency level down on the copied layer if you feel more comfortable with that. Make sure that's your "working level". Hit the eraser, - and choose a SOFT brush that will fit the size of the edge area that you will be working with. Set the brush transparency down, - I use about 50%. Then carefully erase around the edges of the little patch that you have copied, - till you see that it will fit the pattern that is underneath. This is a "fine print" work, use the undo if you erase too much, adjust the brush size as you go. and use a lot of patience ;) Good luck Britt
