I do bemoan the fact that I'm painting with the mousepad, but I picked an image with just a little background showing; it may have been the coward's way out, but I found working with the mask pretty easy!

Lesson 6: Removing Unwanted Elements

This was the clone stamp tool version of removing something; in this case, since I'd hate to be thought a horrible housekeeper, I wanted that bit of whatever off the floor, and I swept if up using a very small brush with lots of sampling.

Lessson 6: Create a Better Background

Oddly, I did this before reading the next part (Removing Unwanted Elements), but that's sort of what I did; well, I sharpened the corner a bit in the process as well. The main difference? I used the Quick Mask tool here and the Clone Stamp for the next one.

Here my daughter's friend is upstaged (in my picky mind) by my daughter's pink phone, so I wanted to remove it and deepen the color of the corner a bit for a nice subtle line (breaking up the purple space.. yes, I know, purple and pink...)

Here's a tip I found useful: hold the SHIFT key when painting a straight line. Was that from Launchpad A?
